As a Creative Professional, one may come across the need to extract data from an Excel file and copy it to a different file or sheet. Thankfully, with the help of Macros and VBA, this task can be easily automated. Let’s take a look at how to do it:
Cara Mengambil Data Excel Dari File Lain Dengan Macro
The first step is to enable the Developer tab in Excel. This can be done by going to File > Options > Customize Ribbon and ticking the Developer option.
Next, we need to create a new Macro. This can be done by going to the Developer tab and clicking on Macros. Give the Macro a name and click on Create. This will open up the Visual Basic Editor.
Now, we need to write the code for the Macro. The code will retrieve the data from the specified Excel file and copy it to the desired location. Here’s example code:
Sub CopyData()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Set wb = Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\Username\Documents\Data.xlsx")
Set ws = wb.Sheets(1)
Set rng = ws.Range("A1:B5")
rng.Copy Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1")
wb.Close
End Sub
The above code copies the data from the range A1:B5 in the file “Data.xlsx” to the range A1 in Sheet2 of the current Excel file. Make sure to change the file path and range as per your requirements.
Cara Copy Data Excel dari Horizontal ke Vertikal
Sometimes, we may come across a situation where the data is stored horizontally in the Excel file and we need to copy it vertically. This can be easily done using the Transpose feature in Excel. Here’s how to do it:
- Copy the horizontal data to the Clipboard.
- Select the cell where you want to paste the data vertically.
- Right-click and select Transpose from the Paste Options.
Alternatively, you can use the TRANSPOSE function to do the same thing. Here’s the syntax:
=TRANSPOSE(array)
Where “array” is the range of cells that contain the data.
