    Make Code work on 3 columns instead of just one.

    I need the following macro to copy 3 columns (or all used columns) instead of just column A.

    How can I edit it?

    Sub CopyFromWorksheets()
        Dim wrk As Workbook 'Workbook object - Always good to work with object variables
        Dim sht As Worksheet 'Object for handling worksheets in loop
        Dim trg As Worksheet 'Master Worksheet
        Dim rng As Range 'Range object
        Dim colCount As Integer 'Column count in tables in the worksheets
    Set wrk = ActiveWorkbook 'Working in active workbook
    For Each sht In wrk.Worksheets
            If sht.Name = "Master" Then
                MsgBox "There is a worksheet called as 'Master'." & vbCrLf & _
                "Please remove or rename this worksheet since 'Master' would be" & _
                "the name of the result worksheet of this process.", vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, "Error"
                Exit Sub
            End If
        Next sht
    'We don't want screen updating
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    'Add new worksheet as the last worksheet
        Set trg = wrk.Worksheets.Add(After:=wrk.Worksheets(wrk.Worksheets.Count))
         'Rename the new worksheet
        trg.Name = "Master"
         'Get column headers from the first worksheet
         'Column count first
        Set sht = wrk.Worksheets(1)
        colCount = sht.Cells(1, 255).End(xlToLeft).Column
         'Now retrieve headers, no copy&paste needed
        With trg.Cells(1, 1).Resize(1, colCount)
            .Value = sht.Cells(1, 1).Resize(1, colCount).Value
             'Set font as bold
            .Font.Bold = True
        End With
    'We can start loop
        For Each sht In wrk.Worksheets
             'If worksheet in loop is the last one, stop execution (it is Master worksheet)
            If sht.Index = wrk.Worksheets.Count Then
                Exit For
            End If
             'Data range in worksheet - starts from second row as first rows are the header rows in all worksheets
            Set rng = sht.Range(sht.Cells(2, 1), sht.Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Resize(, colCount))
             'Put data into the Master worksheet
            trg.Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Resize(rng.Rows.Count, rng.Columns.Count).Value = rng.Value
        Next sht
         'Fit the columns in Master worksheet
        trg.Columns.AutoFit
    'Screen updating should be activated
        Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    End Sub

    Anne,

    This should be pulling all used columns -- if each sheet has the same number of data columns. It sets colCount based on the # of non-blank cells in the first row of the first sheet. If that's not the correct place to look, what is? Look at each sheet (structures vary) or a different row on the first sheet?

    If that's gonna gum up the works then maybe a check?


    If IsNull(sht.Rows(1).MergeCells) Or sht.Rows(1).MergeCells Then
            MsgBox "There are merged cells!", vbExclamation, "Heavens to Betsy!"
            Exit Sub
    End If
