Copy sum of two columns from one workbook to one column in another

[Graham Haughs]

I have a procedure where from a workbook I select and open another
workbook and copy data values from that book (source) to the other
workbook ( target). Part of the procedure is shown below,



With targetfileEntries
.Range("A17:B161").Value = sourcefileEntries.Range("A12:B156").Value
.Range("D17161").Value = sourcefileEntries.Range("F12:F156").Value
.Range("E17:E161").Value =
sourcefileEntries.Range("E12:E156").Value
End With

What I would like to do is have a column in the target file i.e
Range("H17:H161").Value and I want it to be have the sum of the values
from the two columns

sourcefileEntries.Range("G12:H156").Value so that in the target file
for eaxmple Cell H17 has the value of the two cells in the source file
G12 plus H12.

I hope this is understandable as I wouls be most grateful for any help
and advice.



Kind Regards,



Graham

A few ways to do this. The simplest is to just add the source data:
With targetfileEntries
For L0 = 17 To 161
.Cells(L0, 8).Value = sourcefileEntries.Cells(L0 - 5, 7).Value + _
sourcefileEntries.Cells(L0 - 5, 8).Value
Next
End With

If the sums need to update with the source data, you could instead do this:
With targetfileEntries
For L0 = 17 To 161
.Cells(L0, 8).Formula = "=SUM([test1.xlsx]Sheet1!$G" & (L0 - 5) & _
":$H" & (L0 - 5) & ")"
Next
End With
....with "[test1.xlsx]Sheet1" replaced with the correct names. (If those
aren't know until runtime, try using sourcefileEntries.Parent.Name and
sourcefileEntries.Name.)
