VBA Copy data list with variable length - excel

So what i am trying to do is copy a data list to another location (eventually to another tab but i can figure that out myself). The data list is variable in length but it is filled into another cell manually.
List that needs to be copied is 2 rows wide (H & I) and x columns long (from row 2 to "end")
The value in cell N6 is the amount of rows
So the range that needs to be copied is H2 to I(amount of rows +1)
Here is my code
Sub Copycells()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim wb1 As Worksheet
Dim LastRow As Long
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set wb1 = wb.Sheets("Sheet1")
'check data for list length
LastRow = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(6, "N").Value + 1
'copy data
Range("V2:W?").Copy Range("H2:I?")
End Sub
So where i'm struggling is how to fill in the range for the copy, in a sense combining the row letter with the variable number.

I think you might have mistaken columns for rows and rows for columns in the explanation, that you give in your question.
However, I'm fairly sure i understand what you want the code to do.
Try this:
Sub Copycells()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim wb1 As Worksheet
Dim LastRow As Long
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set wb1 = wb.Sheets("Sheet1")
'check data for list length
LastRow = Range("N6").Value + 1
'copy data
Range("H2:I" & LastRow).Copy
End Sub
You need to specify where the copied list needs to be pasted, but I'll let you have a try on that on your own.

Copy sheet name to row with VBA

I need to copy the worksheets name into Row 1 of another worksheet of the same file. Here is what I have/need:
File has different worksheets, but I need only the title from the sheet 3 on
The worksheet where I want to copy the names is sheet 2
the names need to be copy on row 1, from cell B1
I'll run this macro periodically, so I'd need new sheet names to be added every time while keeping there the one already copied.
Can you help me? :)
List Worksheet Names in a Row
Sub ListNames()
Dim wb As Workbook: Set wb = ThisWorkbook ' workbook containing this code
Dim dCell As Range: Set dCell = wb.Worksheets(2).Range("B1")
Dim n As Long
For n = 3 To wb.Worksheets.Count
dCell.Value = wb.Worksheets(n).Name
Set dCell = dCell.Offset(, 1)
Next n
End Sub
From what you write it's really hard to tell what you actually need.
The following VBA code writes the name of the 3rd worksheet to the B1 cell of sheet 2. If you don't have 3 sheet's nothing happens:
Sub WriteTheNameOfWorksheet3IntoWorksheet2CellB1()
If ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count >= 3 Then
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(2).Range("B1") = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(3).Name
End If
End Sub

filling values up to last row in a dynamic range

sorry guys I am conscious this is really simple but its been very frustrating trying to figure this out last hour.
I would like to have the value "427" (Column D) go all the way down to the end of the last line of range. (Row 32) As it is a dynamic range, the range will have new entries over time. I used the following code to do it
Sub EnterRemainingValues()
Dim Workbook As Workbook
Dim lastrow As Long
Set Workbook = Workbooks("Workbook 1") 'name of workbook
lastrow = Worksheets("Sheets1").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("D14:D" & lastrow).Value = "427"
The issue I believe i'm having is because the range starts from A13 rather than A1, so the values 427 only fill up the first 3 rows which corresponds to the height of the worksheet title (A1:A3). The code thinks thats the lastrow. What I would like is to fill column D with "427" all the way down to the last row starting from row 14. Thank you
EDIT: I forgot to mention - I am controlling "workbook1" which contains the range pictured from a different workbook ("workbookfinal")
Try this:
Option Explicit
Sub EnterRemainingValues()
' Define workbook.
Dim wb As Workbook ' You might need to use '.xlsm'
Set wb = Workbooks("Workbook 1") ' name of workbook
' Define worksheet.
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = wb.Worksheets("Sheet1")
' Calculate last row.
Dim lastrow As Long
lastrow = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
' Write values.
ws.Range("D14:D" & lastrow).Value = "427"
End Sub

Add rows before pasting data in a new sheet (between specific cells)

I have a sheet with data and I want to copy its data to another sheet. That's simple, but the problem is, I have to copy that selection to a range between two cells that is set, so if I add another row with data in the first sheet then when the macro runs, the data will overwrite the cells below the limit. How do I make it that if I add a row in the first sheet, before the macro pastes the data in the other sheet another row or a number of rows will be created to avoid the limit below being overwritten?
For example, if the number of rows between two cells is 5 and the range I need to paste is 7, then, prior to pasting the data, the macro creates two more rows.
Thank you
Calculate the difference and add rows if required
Option Explicit
Sub CopyInsert()
Dim rngSource As Range
Set rngSource = Selection ' range to copy from
Const SHEET_TARGET = "Sheet2"
Const RNG_TARGET = "C12:C16"
Dim wb As Workbook, wsTarget As Worksheet
Dim rngTarget As Range, n As Long
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set wsTarget = wb.Sheets(SHEET_TARGET)
Set rngTarget = wsTarget.Range(RNG_TARGET)
' insert new ones
n = rngSource.Rows.Count - rngTarget.Rows.Count
If n > 0 Then
rngTarget.Rows("2:" & n + 1).EntireRow.Insert
End If
rngSource.Copy rngTarget.Cells(1, 1)
End Sub

Excel VBA copy row automatically

I need help to create an automatic method to copy a row to a specific sheet.
I have a Tab (Sales) with a WEB api query importing data in this sheet every 5 min. I have a row within the Sales sheet with a name range identifying each item. The row has 100 different names and there are 100 sheets created with same names within the workbook.
I want to copy the entire row for each item and copy it to the sheet with the same name of the item.
This is to fire off the copy sub:
'Copy Sales data Every 10 Min
Sub test()
'Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:10:00"), "my_Procedure…"
End Sub
I have seen many methods on how to copy the row automatically, but I need help in copy row and use the item name and paste to other sheet with same name.
Without further information here is an outline of what i described in the comments. Here the list of named ranges starts at cell J3 in NamesSheet. In the image, i have shown it in the same sheet (SourceSheet for simplicity). The list is read into an array and that array is looped to select the appropriate sheet to set the values in.
Rather than copy and paste it sets the target row (the next available row), in the sheet accessed by the array index, equal to the source row (copyRow). A With statement is used to avoid selecting the target sheet (more efficient).
No error handling added for missing sheets at present.
I haven't assumed there will be a list of 100 named ranges in the sheet, otherwise you could have sized the array from the start.

namesArr = wsNames.Range("J3:J" & wsNames.Cells(wsNames.Rows.Count, "J").End(xlUp).Row).Value
If UBound(namesArr, 1) <> wsSource.Range("ITEMName").Rows.Count Then
MsgBox "There are not a matching number of named ranges listed in Names sheet."

Copy range to the bottom of another sheet

I am writing a macro that loops through a "source" sheet and for each value in column A, copy a range from template sheet to a destination sheet. After the template range is copied, I need to change a few values in destination sheet based on the source sheet value. Right now I am trying to get the copy working. The copy is failing with error 1004 'The information cannot be pasted because the Copy area and the paste area are not the same size.'
Sub CopyRangeFromOneSheetToAnother()
Dim iLastRow As Long
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim shtSource As Worksheet
Dim shtTemplate As Worksheet
Dim shtDest As Worksheet
Dim sResourceName
Dim rngCalcTemplate As Range
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set shtSource = wb.Sheets(1)
Set shtTemplate = wb.Sheets("res_tpl")
Set shtDest = wb.Sheets.Add
'--set range for copying. Hard-coded for now would be nice if it would auto shrink/expand
Set rngCalcTemplate = shtTemplate.Range("A2:M7")
'Find the last row (in column A) with data.
iLastRow = shtSource.Range("A:A").Find("*", searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row
'--loop through source sheet and copy template range to dest for each
For iSourceSheetRow = 2 To iLastRow
sResourceName = shtSource.Cells(iSourceSheetRow, 1)
rngCalcTemplate.Copy shtDest.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlDown)
Next
End Sub
The problem is with the following line of your code:
rngCalcTemplate.Copy shtDest.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlDown)
If you place your cursor at the very last cell in column A (i.e. at "A" & Rows.Count, possibly A1048576) and then press Ctrl-Down, you are still at the very last cell in column A.
If you then try to paste 6 rows of information starting at that cell, there won't be room to do so - there is only one row of "pastable" area to use.
You are probably wanting to find the row following the last used cell in that column, so your code should be:
rngCalcTemplate.Copy shtDest.Range("A" & shtDest.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
