Hi using Win 7 Excel 2007.

I have a multi-sheet workbook. When I did a "subtotal" on one sheet, Excel created new columns (1,2,3) for those subtotals.

When I copy a row(s) from this sheet to another, Excel insert these new columns on the new sheet.

(1) I just want the data from that row, I don't what the subtotal columns on the new sheet! How do I turn off these subtotal columns?

(2) question: I'm using a MACRO to copy the data row(s) from the first sheet to the second. When I open the Excel,
It has a "security Warning Macros have been disabled." message. What do I need to change to have the Workbook open with Marcos enable? Also does it matter if my Marco is "private" or not? Now it's not private.

Thanks!

Hi, the macro security question is a setting in your excel.
You have to open Excel's options window and look for 'Trust Center" and then "Trust Center Settings", here you can specify what you want Excel to consider trusted.
There isn optionTrusted Locations, here you can indicate the Files with macro's that are stored here are trusted so the warning will not appear.

Well, if you're using a macro to copy the data rows you must exclude those columns.
I have no idea why it's in a column but that's your show.

You will need to edit the macro to selct only those rows that you want copied without the sub total columns.

If it were subtotal rows then you must exclude the subtotal rows.

BTW: You should try the Excel help function and look for Truste Center, that helps too

Thanks Keebellah, Trusted Locations solved the security/Macro problem.

The Column issue: "the columns" that are added are not regular excel columns. These are shadow columns added by the subtotal function that just contain the subtotal brackets which show the grouping of the subtotals groups. I just converted the subtotal cells to =SUM() function. But the shadow columns didn't go away.

I just copied the data from the source into into another sheet without Subtotal which fixed that sheet,
BUT the target sheet still has those SUBTOTAL generated columns.

Add a line target_range.removesubtotal after you pasted.

Here's my code. I got it from someone. So I really don't know how it works. Where would I add the new line?

Sub importActiveOptions()
Dim myCopyRow, myPasteRow As Integer

myCopyRow = 3
myPasteRow = 100


With Worksheets("OptionSum")
Do While .Cells(myCopyRow, 1) <> "EOF"
If .Cells(myCopyRow, 1) <> "active" Then
GoTo Continue
End If
.Rows(myCopyRow).Copy
Worksheets("GainLoss").Paste Destination:=Worksheets("GainLoss").Rows(myPasteRow)
myPasteRow = myPasteRow + 1
Continue:
myCopyRow = myCopyRow + 1
Loop
End With
End Sub
