How to copy data from closed workbooks (keeping them closed) into master workbook using VBA?
I need to copy data from closed workbooks, without opening them, into a master workbook using VBA.
I use Workbooks.Open
on from 4-6 files. Each file that needs to open dramatically slows the copy operation.
I need efficient VBA code for copying data without opening each file.
Here is an example of my code:
Set x = Workbooks.Open("C:\Bel.xls")
'Now, copy what you want from x:
x.Sheets("Daily Figures").Range("A13:j102").Copy
'Now, paste to y worksheet
y.Activate
Sheets("Data - Daily").Range("N2").PasteSpecial
'Close x:
Application.CutCopyMode = False
x.Close
Sheets("sheet1").Range("M4") = Date
Try this. It works using ADO without opening a source file:
Sub TransferData()
Dim sourceFile As Variant
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
sourceFile = "C:\Bel.xls"
GetData sourceFile, "Daily Figures", "A13:j102", Sheets("Data - Daily").Range("N2"), False, False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Public Sub GetData(sourceFile As Variant, SourceSheet As String, _
SourceRange As String, TargetRange As Range, Header As Boolean, UseHeaderRow As Boolean)

Dim rsCon As Object
Dim rsData As Object
Dim szConnect As String
Dim szSQL As String
Dim lCount As Long
' Create the connection string.
If Header = False Then
If Val(Application.Version) < 12 Then
szConnect = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & sourceFile & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=No"";"
Else
szConnect = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & sourceFile & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0;HDR=No"";"
End If
Else
If Val(Application.Version) < 12 Then
szConnect = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & sourceFile & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes"";"
Else
szConnect = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & sourceFile & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes"";"
End If
End If
If SourceSheet = "" Then
' workbook level name
szSQL = "SELECT * FROM " & SourceRange$ & ";"
Else
' worksheet level name or range
szSQL = "SELECT * FROM [" & SourceSheet$ & "$" & SourceRange$ & "];"
End If

Set rsCon = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set rsData = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsCon.Open szConnect
rsData.Open szSQL, rsCon, 0, 1, 1

If Not rsData.EOF Then
