Alright, now it works also if you have columns in Sheet2 that do not exist in Sheet1.

Sub CopySheet() Dim i As Integer Dim LastRow As Integer Dim Search As String Dim Column As Integer

Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Select
'Sets an Autofilter to sort out only your Yes rows.
Selection.Autofilter
'Change Field:=5 to the number of the column with your Y/N.
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("$A$1:$G$3").Autofilter Field:=7, Criteria1:="Y"

'Finds the last row
LastRow = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(Sheets("Sheet1").Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

i = 1
'Change the 3 to the number of columns you got in Sheet2
Do While i <= 3
    Search = Sheets("Sheet2").Cells(1, i).Value
    Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
    'Update the Range to cover all your Columns in Sheet1.
    If IsError(Application.Match(Search, Sheets("sheet1").Range("A1:G1"), 0)) Then
        'nothing
    Else
        Column = Application.Match(Search, Sheets("sheet1").Range("A1:G1"), 0)
        Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(2, Column).Resize(LastRow, 1).Select
        Selection.Copy
        Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
        Sheets("Sheet2").Cells(2, i).Select
        ActiveSheet.Paste
    End If
    i = i + 1
Loop

'Clear all Y/N = Y
'Update the Range to cover all your Columns in Sheet1.
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
Column = Application.Match("Y/N", Sheets("sheet1").Range("A1:G1"), 0)
Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(2, Column).Resize(LastRow, 1).Select
Selection.ClearContents
End Sub
