How to copy the content of one sheet to another sheet using VBA?

To copy the content of one worksheet to another using VBA in Excel, you can utilize the `Copy` method. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can achieve this:

Sub CopySheetContents()
    ' Define the source and destination worksheets
    Dim sourceSheet As Worksheet
    Dim destinationSheet As Worksheet

    ' Set the source and destination worksheets
    ' Change "Sheet1" and "Sheet2" to your actual sheet names
    Set sourceSheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
    Set destinationSheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2")

    ' Clear the destination sheet before copying
    destinationSheet.Cells.Clear

    ' Copy the entire content from the source sheet
    sourceSheet.UsedRange.Copy Destination:=destinationSheet.Range("A1")
    
    ' Optionally, you can adjust the destination cell if needed
    ' For instance, if you want to offset it to start at another cell
    'sourceSheet.UsedRange.Copy Destination:=destinationSheet.Range("B1")
    
    ' Show a message box to indicate completion
    MsgBox "Contents copied from " & sourceSheet.Name & " to " & destinationSheet.Name
End Sub

Open Excel and Access the Developer Tab:

Make sure the Developer tab is visible. If not, you can enable it via Excel Options.
Go to the “Developer” tab and click on “Visual Basic” to open the VBA editor.

Create a New Module:

In the VBA editor, right-click on any of the items under “VBAProject” (usually your workbook’s name) and choose “Insert” > “Module”.
This will create a new module where you will write your code.

Write the VBA Code:

In the module window, enter the following code, which will copy the contents of one sheet to another:

Run the Macro:

Press `F5` to run the macro, or go back to Excel, click on “Macros” in the Developer tab, select “CopySheetContents”, and click “Run”.

Customization:

Replace `”Sheet1″` and `”Sheet2″` with the actual names of your source and destination sheets.
Modify the destination range if you want the content pasted at a different location other than `A1`.

This code clears the destination sheet before copying the data to prevent any previous content from interfering, and it uses the `UsedRange` property, which ensures that only the filled cells from the source sheet are copied over.
