How to Copy All Worksheets in Excel Using an Array with VBA

If you're working frequently with Excel, you may find yourself needing to copy multiple worksheets from one workbook to another. This task can become tedious, especially when you have a large number of sheets. Fortunately, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) provides a way to automate this process using arrays! In this post, we will explore how to use VBA to copy all worksheets in an active workbook.

The Problem: Copying Specific Worksheets

You might have encountered a situation similar to the one described by a user who was struggling to copy all worksheets, using a code snippet that specified only certain sheets. The original snippet looked like this:

This VBA code only allows for the copying of specific worksheets ("Sheet1" and "Sheet3") and does not provide the functionality to copy all sheets in a workbook effectively.

The Solution: Copying All Worksheets Using an Array

To copy all worksheets in your active workbook, you need to modify your VBA code to reference all sheets without specifying them individually. The following solution demonstrates how to achieve this.

Step-by-Step Guide

Define the Sub Procedure: Begin by creating a new subroutine using Sub.

Declare Variables: You will need to declare variables for the active workbook, individual worksheets, the target workbook where you want to copy the sheets, and an array to store sheet names.

Iterate Through Worksheets: Use a loop to iterate through each worksheet in the source workbook, adding each worksheet's name to the array.

Copy Sheets: Finally, use the .Copy method to transfer all the stored sheet names to the destination workbook.

Here's how the complete VBA code would look:

Key Points to Remember

Dynamic Array Resizing: The use of ReDim Preserve is vital as it allows the array to grow dynamically, accommodating the variable number of worksheets.

Active Workbook Reference: Make sure that you set your toWb variable correctly to the destination workbook. You can replace Workbooks(2) with any specific workbook reference you wish.

Loop Through Worksheets: The loop (For Each Ws In Wb.Worksheets) runs through all worksheets, allowing you to gather their names effectively.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily copy all worksheets from your active workbook to another using VBA and arrays. This method not only saves you time but also enhances your productivity when working with extensive spreadsheets.

Now that you have the code and the know-how, give it a try and simplify your Excel tasks!
