  • Try recording a macro while opening the source file, copying the required information, and then closing the source workbook. That will give you a starting point for your code.

How large is your data and what is the formatting of the data?
Do you need the filled template to change as your data is master set gets updated?



if the formatting is consistent between each subset of data you can use dynamic cell pointers



example if you have data is cell A1-C1 in one sheet1
you can transfer it to another sheet by =Sheet2!A1 or to another booklet by =[Book1]Sheet1!$A$1



the select and drag function used for duplication can then be used to fill the subsequent cells once a pattern in pointers is established
