In this #shorts video, I'll show you how to easily copy a VBA module from one workbook to another in Excel. This is a common task that many Excel users struggle with, but with a few simple steps, you'll be able to transfer your VBA code without any hassle.
First, let's meet John B, who wants to copy VBA code from a new workbook to an old one. He has all of his data in the old workbook, but the new one has a macro that's working perfectly. To copy the module, we need to open the Visual Basic Editor by pressing Alt+F11 and then navigate to the Project Explorer.
Once you have both workbooks open in the Project Explorer, you can easily drag the module from the new workbook to the old one. It's important to note that if the old workbook is saved as an XLSX file, you'll need to do a "Save As" and change the file type to XLSB or XLSM. Otherwise, you'll lose the macros and the code won't work.
