Find column and then paste vba excel - excel

I need to save some data by just clicking a button.
It should be easy but I dont know the syntax for vba.
Range("P2:P47").Copy
Sheets("All Data").Select
Range("J2").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
I have 2 problem with this code,
1 there is "a lot of" selections that I do not know how to get rid of(I know you should try not to use selections).
2 My real problem is this:
cell J2 in the code should not be a determined cell. I would like to have a "lookup value" and search for that in an array, and then using the mathing cell to paste my values.
So in my workbook cell A1 = "Aug 19" and in row 2 all the months are listed. So cell A2 = "Jan 19", B2 = "Feb 19" etc.
I would like to select cell H2 and then pasting by matching my lookup value "Aug 19" to H2 contains "Aug 19"
So in excel formulas I would basically just write:
=HLOOKUP(A1;'All Data'!$B$2:$AL$2;1;FALSE)
Solved problem 1
Sub savedata()
Range("P2:P47").Copy
Worksheets("All Data").Range("J2").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
End Sub
EDIT on problem 2:
Sub savedata()
Range("P2:P47").Copy
ActiveSheet.Range("C3:K3").Find(What:="Aug 19").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
End Sub
This work as I need it to! Still som questions tho, I couldn't figure out how to reference cell A1 instead of "Aug 19".

I solved it. I ended up with more selections that I would like but I tried to minimize it but I got a lot of error codes that way.
see code below:
Sub savedata()
G = Range("A1").Value
Range("P2:P47").Copy
Worksheets("All Data").Select
Range("C2:AL2").Find(What:=G).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Worksheets("Add Data").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("C4:K34").ClearContents
End Sub
I would like to do like this bu this does not work:
Sub savedata()
G = Range("A1").Value
Range("P2:P47").Copy
Worksheets("All Data").Range("C2:AL2").Find(What:=G).PasteSpecial
Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Worksheets("Add Data").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("C4:K34").ClearContents
End Sub

Adding If/End If to macro

I'm trying to add a condition to a copy and paste macro where it copies a row from table1 and pastes it onto table2 if the row in table1 is red.
I've tried:
Sub ColdLake1()
If Range("B55").Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Then
Range("B55:H55").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("C140").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAllUsingSourceTheme, Operation:=xlNone _
, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
End If
End Sub
It returns nothing. Any ideas?
Thanks (I'm quite new to all this).
This worked for me:
Sub ColdLake1()
With ActiveSheet
Debug.Print "ColorIndex", .Range("B55").Interior.ColorIndex
If .Range("B55").Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Then
.Range("B55:H55").Copy
With .Range("C140")
.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAllUsingSourceTheme, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
End With
End If
End With
End Sub
If your code isn't doing anything it may be because the color isn't what you think it is, or for some reason your code is not entering the If block. Put some breakpoints and see what is going on. https://www.excel-easy.com/vba/examples/debugging.html

VB to Post to New Line per Button Click

I recorded a macro, linked to a button, on say sheet1. The object of what I need done:
When the button is pressed, certain cells are selected and copied to a "summary" page on another sheet.
Sheet1 has a drop down that shows certain information. So after data is selected from the drop down, the user will push the button and post that data to the summary sheet.
The macro works fine (please note I am a VBA noob), but I need assistance in adding functionality that after every button press, it copies the data on the next line - in other words, if data is in row 1 already, it must place the data in row 2, and so on.
The VB code I have is as follows:
Sub Test()
'
' Test Macro
'
'
Range("C32:N32").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Summary").Select
Range("D3").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks
_
:=False, Transpose:=False
Sheets("Comm Payable").Select
Range("C3:D3").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Summary").Select
Range("B3").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks
_
:=False, Transpose:=False
Sheets("Comm Payable").Select
Range("N1").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Summary").Select
Range("C3").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks
_
:=False, Transpose:=False
Range("B4").Select
Sheets("Comm Payable").Select
Range("O1").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = ""
Range("O1").Select
End Sub
Please could someone assist with the addition described above?
Much appreciated!
It's imperative you read the link posted by PEH as you can considerably shorten and speed up your code. I think this does what you want.
Sub Test()
Dim r As Long
r = WorksheetFunction.Max(Sheets("Summary").Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1, 3)
Sheets("Comm Payable").Range("C32:N32").Copy
Sheets("Summary").Range("D" & r).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Sheets("Comm Payable").Range("C3:D3").Copy
Sheets("Summary").Range("B" & r).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Sheets("Comm Payable").Range("N1").Copy
Sheets("Summary").Range("C" & r).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Sheets("Comm Payable").Range("O1").ClearContents
End Sub
As an aside, transferring values directly is more efficient than copying and pasting and here is an example of that.
With Sheets("Comm Payable").Range("C32:N32")
Sheets("Summary").Range("D" & r).Resize(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count).Value = Value
End With

Recognize cell contents in VBA

im trying to create a code that can help me to paste my formulas in a range.
the range is always changing as i have to include information on a daily basis at the en of my list
the existing code almost gets the job done but6 instead of recognizing the value on cell a1 (a count of the amount of records to calculate) it pastes the information on range e1:k1
Sub Run_Formulas()

Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,

how can i get the macro to recognize the contents of cell a1 and to use it for my final range/

Paste figures avoiding formulas on target

I have a macro to copy and paste values into different columns in my spreadsheet. On the target columns I have some formulas that I need to avoid to override when the macro paste the values as I actually want the formula to calculate the new values. I have a code created already, but I would really appreciate you help adding the condition to avoid pasting where there are formulas on the target.

The paste method you're using Paste:=xlPasteValues is only pasting the values; if you want formulas as well as values, you'll need Paste:=xlPasteAll.
If you ONLY want formulas, you'll need Paste:=xlPasteFormulas
Please refer to link for other optional parameters
Another suggestion is using the = method ie.
Range("A1").value = Range("B1").value
As the copy/paste method is very slow, especially when you have as much data as you're using here now. Also, you'll get all the extra formatting from the copied cells, which can be quite annoying to deal with

Copying in Excel while picking up multiple rows that are feeding input into the copied Excel formula

I am a starting VBA enthusiast and I would like some help on the below formula as I have no idea how to make sure the formula applies to all rows in the book. As you can see, I have started copying the actual code, but as I have to do this for up to 100 rows this will be too manually.
Thanks

Is this what you are trying?
Option Explicit
Sub Charts()
Dim i As Long
'~~> Change this to the relevant sheet
With Sheets("Sheet1")
For i = 11 To 14 '<~~ Change 14 to whatever row you want to go to
.Range("D7").Value = .Range("D" & i).Value
.Range("E7:G7").Copy
.Range("E" & i).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, _
Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Next i
End With
End Sub
