How can I copy and paste info from one sheet to another via macro

[jamie.c]

Hello Everyone!

I am Hoping there is a simple solution to my problem. Basically I have to worksheets, the first is filled out and at the end Ive place a button that I would like to open the second sheet and fill in cells that have duplicate info from the first, so just copy & paste but kind of automated for speed, is this possible and would anyone be kind enough to help me out please?

I have only got as far as opening the second document with the macro, after that im stuck!

The Info I would like to be copied across from the "service Diary" to the "Service Report" would be As follows:
*CUSTOMER
*CONTACT
*MACHINE TYPE
*SERIAL NUMBER
*QUOTE NUMBER
*ORDER NUMBER

Many Thanks

I Noticed that you want the file saved as the S/N

You could try

This will allow you to save the file as the S/N and another range like Customer if you wanted and will also add the date to it.

You could run the code on buttion click or when the workbook is closed.

This Code Needs Both Workbooks Open, Ive Used Paste Special To Not Change The Differances Layout Betweent The Two Sheets. Cell Ranges Need To Be Changes For *CONTACT*MACHINE TYPE*SERIAL NUMBER*QUOTE ECT

This Will Open The WorkBook For You, The Workbooks.Open Filename:= Need To Be Changes To Suit Your Setup.

You Would Need To Change Cell Range's, Im Not Sure If It Will Work With Merges Cells.

Hello,

Thank you so much for your reply.

Ive had a play and something is happening!! not quite how I wanted it but never the less.

I have got the report opening with the "creat report" button In cell U7 of the service dairy and I have added your code which seems to be taking part of the address off of the service report sheet (A7) Brindley close....................... and adding it in to cell B16. of the service report.

Do you know where it is going wrong please? I have very little knowledge of code, and I struggle to know what I am looking for!

Thank you in advance
