I have three Excel files: SearchResultsInProgress m.d.yy, SearchResultsCompleted m.d.yy, and Weekly Plan Status m.d.yy. The Weekly Plan Status has 2 worksheets/tabs, "In Progress" and "Completed".



I need to do the following:
1) clear all data from the Weekly Plan Status file but not the formula used in column H
2) copy all data except the header row from SearchResultsInProgress m.d.yy to the corresponding cells of the In Progress worksheet
3) convert the data in columns K-N to Number format in order to remove the parentheses and insert a negative sign prefix (it defaults to "number stored as text")
4) copy the data from columns A-G (not header row) of SearchResultsCompleted m.d.yy to columns A-G of the Completed worksheet
5) copy the data from columns H-K (not header row) of SearchResultsCompleted m.d.yy to columns I-L of the Completed worksheet
6) convert the data in columns I-L to Number format in order to remove the parentheses and insert a negative sign prefix
7) copy the formula from H2 to all used cells in column H (the formula is =F2-F2)
8) open a new Outlook email and attach the Weekly Plan Status m.d.yy file

All of the above must maintain the cell formatting in the target file except for the conversion to Number format of steps 3 and 6.

Thank you!

Hi, Kevin. So you need to do all that...but somehow you left out the actual question. How far have you gotten in writing that program? Which part of the logic isn't working for you? What error messages are you getting when you run the program? Is there a part of the algorithm that's puzzling you?


What, exactly, do you need?

Bob -- Thanks for your note. I need help getting started and would rather not end up with inefficient code that often results from doing patch work. For example, I've seen threads that suggest code with "select" or "copy" only to then see a response to avoid both of those things. That's why I put it all out there up front. If you can point me to an example or two that does at least 2-3 of the things I need done, that would be helpful.
