How to Programmatically Copy Data Between Tables in Excel VBA
Hey! I need to programatically copy and paste one view of a table to another table in a workbook. I need to preserve all columns and data. How do I do this?
You can use the Write to Table integration to copy data from one table to another. Here's how:1. Click "Add Enrichment" in the top right corner of your page 2. Search for and select "Write to Table" integration 3. Select your Clay account (you'll need your API key if not already set up) 4. Choose your destination table within your workbook 5. Enter "/" to skip list selection (since you're copying columns, not mapping lists) 6. Map your source table columns to the corresponding columns in the destination tableOptional: You can configure auto-update to automatically enrich new rows and set conditions for when the integration should run.This method will transfer your data while preserving all columns and their information.

Eric S.Ā·Ā·Is there a way for me to not have to manually create columns to map to in the destination table, and to automatically create columns from the source table?
Based on the available documentation, the Write to Table integration requires you to have named columns in your destination table to map to. There isn't currently an automatic way to create and map columns without setting them up in the destination table first. You'll need to ensure your destination table has the appropriate columns set up before mapping data from your source table. Source: Write to table integration overview | Clay University

Can I create a table with a predefined structure?
Yes, you can create a table with a predefined structure in two ways:1. Use a template: ā¢ Open your workspace ā¢ Click +Create New > Table > Use Template ā¢ Choose a template from the list ā¢ Click Add to Workspace 2. Create a new table from scratch: ā¢ Open your workspace ā¢ Click Create New > Table ā¢ Choose between Company Table, People Table, or Custom TableAdditionally, if you have an existing table structure you'd like to reuse, you can share it as a template. This will share the table structure and one row of data that others can use. Sources: Create a Table from a Template Create New Table Share table as a template
StefanoĀ·Ā·Hi Eric, I suggest that for this, you try and use our Write to Table function. Do you mind sending the link to the tables your are trying to work with so we can take a look and create a catered approach? https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1171717996/ac7729f84b426e1d0358af02/image.png?expires=1734551100&signature=6e691a40ce0010244245967352b80bbe999229d7e6ab5bc485418574d072e978&req=dSEgF85%2FmohWX%2FMW1HO4zYTywS%2F5A5YX2BKsam%2FhVPsVKw%3D%3D%0A

Sure, alternatively could I just duplicate a table without any records in the same workbook?

then the write to table would work as is

Hi Eric, unfortunately, it seems that you'll need to create this table yourself. Currently, it's not possible to create a table with only headers and no data in a workspace. I think the best approach would be to manually create a new table and then map the corresponding outputs from another table into it. Let me know if this helps!
