    wbData.CurrentRegion.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=wbExtract

    Set wb1 = ActiveWorkbook
    Set wbData1 = wb1.Worksheets("FUND").Range("H1")
    Set wbExtract1 = wb.Worksheets("Report").Range("J3:K3")

    wbData1.CurrentRegion.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=wbExtract1

End Sub

Answer 1

It will not work with both workbooks set to be ActiweWorkbook, insted try change names to ThisWorkbook on one where you store this code, and fill the name with extension of the other workbook you are trying to copy from.

Sub Range_Copy_Examples()

Dim wb As Workbook
Dim wb1 As Workbook
Dim wbData As Range
Dim wbData1 As Range
Dim wbExtract As Range
Dim wbExtract1 As Range

Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set wbData = wb.Worksheets("GAI").Range("A1")
Set wbExtract = wb.Worksheets("Report").Range("A3:I3")

wbData.CurrentRegion.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=wbExtract

Set wb1 = Workbooks("TheOtherWorkbook.xls")
Set wbData1 = wb1.Worksheets("FUND").Range("H1")
Set wbExtract1 = wb.Worksheets("Report").Range("J3:K3")

wbData1.CurrentRegion.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=wbExtract1

End Sub
