I have an error message of 'Object Required' when I run this sub. I have a version for copying each specific sheet, which works fine, but this sub is for all sheets within the WB ie to copy each one's WholePrintArea and paste it into a new sheet in the new WB. Thanks...
Sub NewWBandPasteSpecialALLSheets()
MyBook = ActiveWorkbook.Name ' Get name of this book
Workbooks.Add ' Open a new workbook
NewBook = ActiveWorkbook.Name ' Save name of new book
Workbooks(MyBook).Activate ' Back to original book
Dim SH As Worksheet
For Each SH In MyBook.Worksheets
SH.Range("WholePrintArea").Copy
Workbooks(NewBook).Activate
With SH.Range("A1")
.PasteSpecial (xlPasteColumnWidths)
.PasteSpecial (xlFormats)
.PasteSpecial (xlValues)
End With
Next
End Sub
Try do something like this (the problem was that you trying to use MyBook.Worksheets, but MyBook is not a Workbook object, but string, containing workbook name. I've added new varible Set WB = ActiveWorkbook, so you can use WB.Worksheets instead MyBook.Worksheets):
Sub NewWBandPasteSpecialALLSheets()
MyBook = ActiveWorkbook.Name ' Get name of this book
Workbooks.Add ' Open a new workbook
NewBook = ActiveWorkbook.Name ' Save name of new book
Workbooks(MyBook).Activate ' Back to original book
Set WB = ActiveWorkbook
Dim SH As Worksheet
For Each SH In WB.Worksheets
SH.Range("WholePrintArea").Copy
Workbooks(NewBook).Activate
With SH.Range("A1")
.PasteSpecial (xlPasteColumnWidths)
.PasteSpecial (xlFormats)
.PasteSpecial (xlValues)
End With
Next
End Sub
But your code doesn't do what you want: it doesen't copy something to a new WB. So, the code below do it for you:
Sub NewWBandPasteSpecialALLSheets()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim wbNew As Workbook
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim shNew As Worksheet
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Workbooks.Add ' Open a new workbook
Set wbNew = ActiveWorkbook
On Error Resume Next
For Each sh In wb.Worksheets
sh.Range("WholePrintArea").Copy
'add new sheet into new workbook with the same name
With wbNew.Worksheets
Set shNew = Nothing
Set shNew = .Item(sh.Name)
If shNew Is Nothing Then
.Add After:=.Item(.Count)
.Item(.Count).Name = sh.Name
Set shNew = .Item(.Count)
End If
End With
With shNew.Range("A1")
.PasteSpecial (xlPasteColumnWidths)
.PasteSpecial (xlFormats)
.PasteSpecial (xlValues)
End With
Next
End Sub
This worked for me (I added an "if sheet visible" because in my case I wanted to skip hidden sheets)
Sub Create_new_file()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim wbNew As Workbook
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim shNew As Worksheet
Dim pname, parea As String
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Workbooks.Add
Set wbNew = ActiveWorkbook
For Each sh In wb.Worksheets
pname = sh.Name
If sh.Visible = True Then
sh.Copy After:=wbNew.Sheets(Sheets.Count)
wbNew.Sheets(Sheets.Count).Cells.ClearContents
wbNew.Sheets(Sheets.Count).Cells.ClearFormats
wb.Sheets(sh.Name).Activate
Range(sh.PageSetup.PrintArea).Select
Selection.Copy
wbNew.Sheets(pname).Activate
Range("A1").Select
With Selection
.PasteSpecial (xlValues)
.PasteSpecial (xlFormats)
.PasteSpecial (xlPasteColumnWidths)
End With
ActiveSheet.Name = pname
End If
Next
wbNew.Sheets("Hoja1").Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
Rethink your approach. Why would you copy only part of the sheet? You are referring to a named range "WholePrintArea" which doesn't exist. Also you should never use activate, select, copy or paste in your script. These make the "script" vulnerable to user actions and other simultaneous executions. In worst case scenario data ends up in wrong hands.
