VBA Copy Range to Another Sheet + Workbook

To copy a cell or a range of cells to another worksheet you need to use the VBA’s “Copy” method. In this method, you need to define the range or the cell using the range object that you wish to copy and then define another worksheet along with the range where you want to paste it.

Copy a Cell or Range to Another Worksheet

Range("A1").Copy Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1")

1. First, define the range or the cell that you want to copy.
   
2. Next, type a dot (.) and select the copy method from the list of properties and methods.
   
3. Here you’ll get an intellisense to define the destination of the cell copied.
   
4. From here, you need to define the worksheet and then the destination range.
   

Now when you run this code, it will copy cell A1 from the active sheet to the “Sheet2”. There’s one thing that you need to take care that when you copy a cell and paste it to a destination it also pastes the formatting there.

But if you simply want to copy the value from a cell and paste it into the different worksheets, consider the following code.

Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1") = Range("A1").Value

This method doesn’t use the copy method but simply adds value to the destination worksheet using an equal sign and using the value property with the source cell.

Copy Cell from a Different Worksheet

Now let’s say you want to copy a cell from a worksheet that is not active at the time. In this case, you need to define the worksheet with the source cell. Just like the following code.

Worksheets("sheet1").Range("A1").Copy Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1")

Copy a Range of Cells

Range("A1:A10").Copy Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1:A10")
Range("A1:A10").Copy Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1")
