Hi I hope some can help me automate the following process if possible please.

I have 2 spreadsheets A and B

I would like to add 101 rows down and 5 columns across, starting from cell A 21 from spreadsheet A to tab 1 of spreadsheet B
Then the next 101 rows down and 5 columns across from spreadsheet A to tab 2 of spreadsheet B
And so on until tab 15 on spreadsheet B

Would appreciate any help. thank you.

Record Macro (File, Options, Customise Ribbon, Add Developer Tab)

add 101 rows down and 5 columns across, starting from cell A 21 from spreadsheet A to tab 1 of spreadsheet B
Then the next 101 rows down and 5 columns across from spreadsheet A to tab 2 of spreadsheet B
And so on until tab 15 on spreadsheet B

Stop Recording

With Excel, there will be many many ways to achieve the same outcome.

If you have Excel 365, you can use the TAKE function, and you won't need VBA.

The formula will require a little more engineering, but still.

If the cells never move and you just want to make it easier to read you could just use =(cell) as long as the files are saved in a shared location that will work fine? Unless you want to make it more complex or I’m missing the question.

Thank you to everyone s reply, really appreciate it.

sideways sid - I followed your instructions and after a few attempts it worked perfectly! Together with another macro I recorded I will save between 30 and 45 minutes.

nyt - I am going to try your method next for some other spreadsheets and playbooks I use.
