Get error message "expected end of line" when using PasteSpecial - excel

Question

I am copying a range from all open workbooks with the goal of pasting the copied cells into a consolidated sheet in the master (active) workbook. I need to paste the values only but get an "end of line" error message with this code
Spent pretty much all day googling my problem to no avail
Sub Consolidate()
Dim oBook As Workbook, ws As Worksheet, wb As Workbook, bk As Workbook
Dim copyFrom As Range
'Disable Screen Updating - stop screen flickering
' And Disable Events to avoid inturupted dialogs / popups
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
'Delete the Consolidate_Data WorkSheet if it exists
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
On Error Resume Next
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Consolidate_Data").Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
'Add a new WorkSheet and name as 'Consolidate_Data'
With ActiveWorkbook
Set DstSht = .Sheets.Add(After:=.Sheets(.Sheets.Count))
DstSht.Name = "Consolidate_Data"
End With
'Loop through each WorkBook in the folder and copy the data to the 'Consolidate_Data' WorkSheet in the ActiveWorkBook
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
For Each oBook In Application.Workbooks
If Not oBook.Name = wb.Name Then
'Find the last row on the 'Consolidate_Data' sheet
DstRow = fn_LastRow(DstSht) + 1
'Determine Input data range
Set copyFrom = oBook.Worksheets(1).Range("A6:C8")
'Copy data to the 'consolidated_data' WorkSheet
copyFrom.Copy _
DstSht.Range("A" & DstRow).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End If
Next
IfError:
'Enable Screen Updating and Events
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
End With
End Sub
'Find the last Row of specified Sheet
Function fn_LastRow(ByVal Sht As Worksheet)
Dim lastRow As Long
lastRow = Sht.Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Row
lRow = Sht.Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Row
Do While Application.CountA(Sht.Rows(lRow)) = 0 And lRow <> 1
lRow = lRow - 1
Loop
fn_LastRow = lRow
End Function
Consolidate()
Dim oBook As Workbook, ws As Worksheet, wb As Workbook, bk As Workbook
Dim copyFrom As Range
'Disable Screen Updating - stop screen flickering
' And Disable Events to avoid inturupted dialogs / popups
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False

'Loop through each WorkBook in the folder and copy the data to the 'Consolidate_Data' WorkSheet in the ActiveWorkBook

For Each oBook In Application.Workbooks
If Not oBook.Name = wb.Name Then
'Find the last row on the 'Consolidate_Data' sheet
DstRow = fn_LastRow(DstSht) + 1
'Determine Input data range
Set copyFrom = oBook.Worksheets(1).Range("A6:C8")
'Copy data to the 'consolidated_data' WorkSheet
copyFrom.Copy _
DstSht.Range("A" & DstRow).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End If
Next
IfError:
'Enable Screen Updating and Events
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
End With
End Sub
'Find the last Row of specified Sheet
Function fn_LastRow(ByVal Sht As Worksheet)
Dim lastRow As Long
lastRow = Sht.Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Row
lRow = Sht.Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Row
Do While Application.CountA(Sht.Rows(lRow)) = 0 And lRow <> 1
lRow = lRow - 1
Loop
fn_LastRow = lRow
End Function
Get an error message at the PasteSpecial line. Everything works fine without the paste special but, as the copied range includes formulas, I do not get the values which is what I need.

Answer 1

.Copy and .PasteSpecial have to be done in 2 different lines but you concatenated the lines with _
copyFrom.Copy _
DstSht.Range("A" & DstRow).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Change it to:
copyFrom.Copy 'no line concatenation here !
DstSht.Range("A" & DstRow).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
For more information see the documentation:
Range.Copy method
Range.PasteSpecial method / Worksheet.PasteSpecial method
