Copy a selected range to another worksheet - excel

Question

I am using code below which I am trying to change so as not to use .select
Selection.Select ' from active worksheet
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Purch Req").Select
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
I have tried using this but there is no output to the other worksheet.
Dim src2Range As Range, dest2Range As Range
Set src2Range = Selection 'source from selected range
Set dest2Range = Sheets("Purch Req").Range("A1").Resize(src2Range.Rows.Count, src2Range.Columns.Count) ' destination range _
'in Purch req worksheet

Here is good examples on How to avoid using Select in Excel VBA Link stackoverflow
Here is simples of
copy/paste - values = values - PasteSpecial method
Option Explicit
'// values between cell's
Sub PasteValues()
Dim Rng1 As Range
Dim Rng2 As Range
Set Rng1 = Range("A1")
Set Rng2 = Range("A2")
Rng2.Value = Rng1.Value
'or
[A2].Value = [A1].Value
'or
Range("A2").Value = Range("A1").Value
'or
Set Rng1 = Range("A1:A3")
Set Rng2 = Range("A1:A3")
Rng2("B1:B3").Value = Rng1("A1:A3").Value
'or

Answer 2

There is many ways to do that, but here goes two.
1)
Sub pasteExcel()
Dim src2Range As Range
Dim dest2Range As Range
Dim r 'to store the last row
Dim c 'to store the las column
Set src2Range = Selection 'source from selected range
r = Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row 'Get the last row from A1 to down
c = Range("A1").End(xlToRight).Column 'Get the last Column from A1 to right
Set dest2Range = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(r, c))
dest2Range.PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
Application.CutCopyMode = False 'Always use the sentence.
End Sub
2)
Sub pasteExcel2()
Dim sht1 As Worksheet
Dim sht2 As Worksheet 'not used!
Dim src2Range As Range
Dim dest2Range As Range
Dim r 'to store the last row
Dim c 'to store the las column
Set sht1 = Sheets("Sheet1")
Set sht2 = Sheets("Sheet2")
sht1.Activate 'Just in case... but not necesary
r = Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row 'Get the last row from A1 to down
c = Range("A1").End(xlToRight).Column 'Get the last Column from A1 to right
Set src2Range = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(r, c)) 'source from selected range
Set dest2Range = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(r, c))
sht2.Range(dest2Range.Address).Value = src2Range.Value 'the same range in the other sheet.
End Sub
Tell me if you need some improvement.
