Small change in Macro needed..Export tables in a Excel

Hi All,

Below attached is a macro which exports tables in a Excel sheets. But it exports only 3 tables in a 3 sheets. I tried to modify the macro to export more than 4 tables in a 4 sheets but it is not working. I think the macro only copy paste the tables in a by default available sheets i.e. 3 but it fails to create any new sheet.

I want a macro which will create sheets according to the tables which I will mention in a macro.

Can any one have to solution to this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Prasad,

Here you go, add it anywhere after creation of the excel workbook and then paste the contents you require to the sheet

sub ExcelFile

set xlApp = createobject("Excel.Application")

XLApp.visible = true

set XLDoc = XLApp.workbooks.add


XLDoc.Sheets.Add.Name= "New sheetname"  '<---new code here

ActiveDocument.getsheetobject("chart object number").copyTableToclipboard true '<---new code here

XLDoc.New sheetname.paste() '<---new code here

ActiveDocument.getsheetobject("CH01").copyTableToclipboard true

XLDoc.sheets(1).paste()

XLDoc.sheets(1).rows("1:3000").Entirerow.AutoFit

ActiveDocument.getsheetobject("CH02").copyTableToclipboard true

XLDoc.sheets(2).paste()

XLDoc.sheets(2).rows("1:3000").Entirerow.AutoFit

ActiveDocument.getsheetobject("CH03").copyTableToclipboard true

XLDoc.sheets(3).paste()

XLDoc.sheets(3).rows("1:3000").Entirerow.AutoFit

XLDoc.sheets(1).Name = "AddressProof"

XLDoc.sheets(2).Name = "Billchannel"

XLDoc.sheets(3).Name = "Sub_channel"

XLDoc.sheets(1).Range("A1").select

XLDoc.sheets(2).Range("A1").select

XLDoc.sheets(3).Range("A1").select

end sub

Unfortunately, excel on my system is not working as expected(even my old macro code,doesn't seem to work on my machine). The previous attachment is not working on my machine at the moment.

The code does look ok for me.

One tip I can suggest is the make sure the chart numbers are right(the qvw you had attached did not contain these object ids). The macros may work in another machine(try on your colleague's if possible).

Try this order

ActiveDocument.getsheetobject("CH04").copyTableToclipboard true

XLApp.Worksheets("Channel").Range("A1").Select()

XLApp.Worksheets("Channel").Paste()

XLApp.Worksheets("Channel").Cells.EntireRow.AutoFit

instead of this

XLDoc.Channel.paste() ' New Code

XLDoc.Channel.rows("1:3000").Entirerow.AutoFit 'New code

XLDoc.Channel.paste()

XLDoc.Channel.Range("A1").select


May be other community members here can guide you further.
