Paste figures avoiding formulas on target - excel

Question

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.

Answer 1

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
