Macro to Copy and paste data based on column headings

Hi

I'm very new to writing Macros in Excel, and have done a bit of looking around to try and solve my problem, but I haven't found a solution yet that works.

I'm trying to write a Macro to do the following:

I'm trying to copy data from Sheet 1, Workbook 1 based on column headings (so for example, I want to copy all the data under the column name "Sort"). The number of rows of data in this row may increase/decrease. I then want to paste this data into Sheet 2, Workbook 2 under the column name "Name". Columns may be added/removed from both workbooks, which is why I want to write the macro to copy based on the column name rather than a column number.

I have been using the below code, which I've tried putting together based on similar but slightly different requests I've found online, but when I run the macro, nothing much happens - I've written the Macro in Workbook 2 and it just opens Workbook 1.

If anyone can see something wrong with my code or suggest an alternative, I'd be extremely grateful for any help. Thanks!!!

Hi @nw201827
You can try this code.
It copies all data in column "Sort" from the first book and pastes under title of column "Name" in second book
