This line should allow you to run this macro from the workbook where the data is ... if the file is not xlsx (it can then be xls, xlsm, xlsb ) Set wbIn = ThisWorkbook
(the line...worksheet add... that was commented out i forgot to delete wouldn't work anyway-i just found it easier to run the code directly on the splitted data sheet) and one more change in the complete code below (with method was missing in what i sent previously): --- Sub SGTest() Dim wbIn As Workbook Dim wsIn As Worksheet Dim wsInOut As Worksheet Dim v() As Variant Dim r As Range Dim rCol As Integer Dim i As Long, j As Long Dim lastr As Long, lastc As Long Set wbIn = ThisWorkbook Set wsInOut = wbIn.Worksheets("sorted data") Set wsIn = wbIn.Worksheets("splitted data") With Application .Calculation = xlCalculationManual .DisplayAlerts = False .ScreenUpdating = False End With With wsIn lastc = 0 .Rows(1).Copy wsInOut.Rows(1) lastr = .Cells(Rows.Count, 8).End(xlUp).Row For i = lastr To 2 Step -1 Set r = .Range(.Cells(i, 8), .Cells(i, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft)) rCol = r.Columns.Count If rCol > 1 Then v = Array(r) .Rows(i + 1 & ":" & i + rCol - 1).Insert .Range(.Cells(i, 1), .Cells(i, 7)).Copy .Range(.Cells(i + 1, 1), .Cells(i + rCol - 1, 7)) .Range(.Cells(i, 8), .Cells(i + rCol - 1, 8)).Value = _ Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(v) If rCol > lastc Then lastc = rCol End If Next i lastr = .Cells(Rows.Count, 8).End(xlUp).Row .Range(wsIn.Cells(1, 9), .Cells(lastr, lastc + 9)).ClearContents End With With Application .Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic .DisplayAlerts = True .ScreenUpdating = True End With Set r = Nothing Set wbIn = Nothing Set wsIn = Nothing Set wsInOut = Nothing End Sub --- Pascal On Friday, July 20, 2012 2:34:04 PM UTC+1, SG wrote: > > hi pascal, > > i didn't understand this part of code...what should i write if i run this > macro in new workbook > > Set wbIn = Workbooks("Book1 - Copy.xlsm") > 'Set wsInOut = wbIn.Worksheets.Add: wsInOut.Name = "sorted data ok2" > Set wsInOut = wbIn.Worksheets("sorted data") > Set wsIn = wbIn.Worksheets("splitted data") > -- -- FORUM RULES (986+ members already BANNED for violation) 1) Use concise, accurate thread titles.
