Copy certain excel columns based on ones criteria - excel

Question

First thing I did was create a button that would copy certain cells using this code:
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A:A,B:B,D:D").Copy _
and it worked fine.
Second, I found the code that would copy all details in a row based on the criteria of one, in this case if there was an "A" in the "Location" column.
Private Sub ENTIREROW_Click()
'Sub copyrows()
Dim i As Range, Cell As Object
Set i = Range("D:D") 'Substitute with the range which includes your True/False values
For Each Cell In i
If IsEmpty(Cell) Then
Exit Sub
End If
If Cell.Value = "A" Then
Cell.ENTIREROW.Copy
Sheet2.Select 'Substitute with your sheet
ActiveSheet.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Select
Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
Next
End Sub
My question is, how do I copy all information in the specified columns (A,B,D) where there is an "A" in "Location" in one button.
Furthermore, this is my example data, the sheet I will actually use this on has 34 columns to copy. Is there a more efficient way of setting a range when you don't want an entire sequence, everything but the data in column C?
Thanks in advance and apologies for my explanation skills.

Answer 1

One way maybe to:
filter your source
hide column C
copy the result using .PasteSpecial xlPasteValues into the destination
Unhide column C on the source sheet
remove the autofilter
Using xlPasteValues only pastes the visible cells from the source - so no column C
The code then looks like this: .
Sub CopyRows()
With Sheets(1).Range([A2], [A2].SpecialCells(xlLastCell))
[A1].AutoFilter
.AutoFilter Field:=4, Criteria1:="A"
[C:C].EntireColumn.Hidden = True
.Copy
[C:C].EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End With
With Sheets(2)
If .Cells(Sheets(2).Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp) = "" Then 'it's a clean sheet
.Cells(Sheets(2).Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Else
.Cells(Sheets(2).Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
End If
End With
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Sheet1.[A1].AutoFilter
End Sub
