How to copy specific rows to another sheet below black cell - excel

Question

I want to write a macro to copy rows from one worksheet to another below cell that is colored black (manually) - if it is detected, otherwise just copy rows from first sheet to Sheet1 at the top. After many trials and errors I came up with that code:
Sub copytherows(clf As Long, lastcell As Long) 'clf - cell that marks the start, lastcell - ending cell
Dim st As Long, cnext As Range
Dim wshet As Worksheet
Dim wshetend As Worksheet
'st - start of looking up, cnext - range of lines, wshet - worksheet
Dim coprange As String
Dim cnextcoprow, cnextrow As Long
'variables for copying macro part
Dim rangehelper As Range
Dim TargetColor As Long
Dim cell As Range
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim x As Long
Dim Aend As Long
Set wshet = Worksheets(1)
Set wshetend = Sheets("Sheet1")
wshetend.Cells.Delete
For st = 1 To wshet.Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
If wshet.Cells(st, "B").Interior.Color = clf Then 'has the color of interest
cnextcoprow = st
Set cnext = wshet.Cells(st, "B").Offset(1, 0) 'next cell down
Do While cnext.Interior.Color <> lastcell
Set cnext = cnext.Offset(1, 0) 'next row
Loop
st = st + 1
End If
Next st
cnextrow = cnext.Row - 1
coprange = cnextcoprow & ":" & cnextrow
Aend = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
'set color is black
TargetColor = RGB(255, 255, 255)
wshetend.Activate
For x = 1 To Rows.Count
If wshetend.Cells(x, "A").Interior.Color = TargetColor Then
x = x + 1
Set rangehelper = wshetend.Rows(x)
wshet.Range(coprange).Copy wshetend.Range(rangehelper).Offset(1)
Else
wshet.Range(coprange).Copy wshetend.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
End If
Next x
End Sub
When Macro is ran it displays an error(Run-time error '1004' Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed on line :
wshet.Range(coprange).Copy wshetend.Range(rangehelper).Offset(1)
Sheet1 is for sure present in Workbook.
Edit as suggested by #FaneDuru:
1 - in this image is my curret state of worksheet that is wshet in my macro and for example if I select (by checkboxes) section1 and section3, section3 should be in the place of black cell in section1 (the order of sections doesn't really matter to me) inside destination sheet ( I know I'm not good in explaining things like that).
2 - this should be end result of this macro

Answer 1

It's quite confusing how you use the for loops.
In the first one you use it to check for the start -which is fine- but then you put a while loop in there which will end up in an endless loop once your st gets past your lastcell row, instead use
ElseIf wshet.Cells(st, "B").Interior.Color = lastcell Then
cnextrow = st
Exit For
End If
In the second for loop you copy the rows if you find the black cell but you don't exit the for loop, speaking of which, you delete all the cells in your wshetend so you'll always start at row 1. So either you don't want to delete all the cells in your wshetend or the for loop is unnecessary.
This is my testSub and it copies from the first sheet to Sheet2 after the cell with black background (black = 0) (commented out the delete cells)
Sub TestBlackCellCopy()
Dim st As Long, cnext As Range
Dim wshet As Worksheet
Dim wshetend As Worksheet
'st - start of looking up, cnext - range of lines, wshet - worksheet
Dim coprange As String
Dim cnextcoprow, cnextrow As Long
'variables for copying macro part
Dim rangehelper As Range
Dim TargetColor As Long
Dim cell As Range
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim x As Long
Dim Aend As Long
Dim clf As Long, lastcell As Long
clf = 5296274
lastcell = 65535
cnextcoprow = 0
Set wshet = Worksheets(1)
Set wshetend = Sheets("Sheet1")
' wshetend.Cells.Delete
For st = 1 To wshet.Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
Debug.Print (wshet.Cells(st, "B").Interior.Color)
If wshet.Cells(st, "B").Interior.Color = clf And cnextcoprow = 0 Then 'has the color of interest
cnextcoprow = st
ElseIf wshet.Cells(st, "B").Interior.Color = lastcell Then
cnextrow = st - 1
Exit For
End If
Next st
coprange = cnextcoprow & ":" & cnextrow
Aend = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row 'unused variable?
'set color is black
TargetColor = 0
wshetend.Activate
For x = 1 To Rows.Count
Debug.Print (wshetend.Cells(x, "A").Interior.Color)
If wshetend.Cells(x, "A").Interior.Color = TargetColor Then
wshet.Rows(coprange).EntireRow.Copy wshetend.Range("A" & x).Offset(1)
Exit For
' Else
' wshet.Range(coprange).Copy wshetend.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
End If
Next x
End Sub
So you'll have to figure out what exactly you want, to delete the cells? Then it starts at row 1, then put a skip after a copy you place after the second for loop.
Something like this:
wshetend.Activate
Aend = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For x = 1 To Rows.Count
Debug.Print (wshetend.Cells(x, "A").Interior.Color)
If wshetend.Cells(x, "A").Interior.Color = TargetColor Then
wshet.Rows(coprange).EntireRow.Copy wshetend.Range("A" & x).Offset(1)
GoTo skipFor
End If
Next x
wshet.Rows(coprange).EntireRow.Copy wshetend.Range("A1")
skipFor:
Hope this helps.

Please, try the next way. It should work if you respected all what we set in the above discussion (check boxes in G:G, black cells in B:B for first sheet, and a black cell in any place of the second sheet:
Sub CopyRowsCheckBox_Black_limited()
Dim wshet As Worksheet, wshetend As Worksheet, blackCell As Range, redCell As Range, rngCopy As Range
Dim sh As Shape, chkB As MSForms.CheckBox, cellPaste As Range, pasteRow As Long
Set wshet = ActiveSheet 'use here the sheet where from you need copying
Set wshetend = wshet.Next 'use here the sheet where to copy
'settings to make Find function searching for Interior color:
With Application.FindFormat
.Clear: .Interior.Color = vbBlack
.Locked = True
End With
'find the black cell in the second sheet:
Set cellPaste = wshetend.cells.Find(What:=vbNullString, After:=wshetend.Range("A1"), SearchFormat:=True)
If Not cellPaste Is Nothing Then 'set the row where to copy first
pasteRow = cellPaste.Offset(1).row
Else
pasteRow = 1
End If
'iterate between all shapes, found the ones being checkBoxes and being on column G:G, set the rows range and copy it:
For Each sh In wshet.Shapes
If TypeName(sh.OLEFormat.Object.Object) = "CheckBox" And sh.TopLeftCell.Column = 7 Then
Set chkB = sh.OLEFormat.Object.Object 'set the checkBox ActiveX object
If chkB.Value = True Then 'if it is checked
Set blackCell = wshet.Range("B:B").Find(What:=vbNullString, After:=wshet.Range("B" & _
sh.TopLeftCell.row), SearchFormat:=True) 'find first black cell
Set rngCopy = wshet.Range(wshet.Range("B" & sh.TopLeftCell.row), blackCell).EntireRow 'set the rows to be copied
rngCopy.Copy wshetend.Range("A" & pasteRow): pasteRow = pasteRow + rngCopy.rows.count 'copy and update pasting row
End If
End If
Next sh
MsgBox "Ready..."
End Sub
The range to be copied is the one between the checked check box and the first black cell in B:B column.
Important Note: The top left corner of the check boxes must be inside of first series row!
Please, send some feedback after testing it.
