I am new to the world of VB but I would like to copy data from one tabs on a spreadsheet called Ilog and past this into another tab on the same spredshhet on a tab called Journal.
When the data is pasted to the new tab I'd normally filter is so Blanks are ommited so I would like to be able to get the VB code to do this automatically.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I am not certain what you are asking, but the following code will copy data from a range on sheet llog and paste in journal. Then loop through and delete cells that are blank.
Sub test()
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Worksheets("llog").Range("A1:A8")
rng.Copy
Set rng = Worksheets("journal").Range("A1:A8")
rng.PasteSpecial
For Each c In Range("A1:A8")
If c.Value = "" Then
c.Delete
End If
Next c
Set rng = Nothing
End Sub
Depending on the complexity of the range being copied, you could also go with:
Sub test()
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Worksheets("llog").Range("A1:A8")
rng.Copy
Set rng = Worksheets("journal").Range("A1:A8")
rng.PasteSpecial
rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Delete
End Sub
which avoids any looping. If you have a relatively complex range, you may want to look in to using the autofilter and then coping over just the visible rows.

I have a range of data - B5:AG1004
In the macro, I need to copy this range and paste it in the next available column. The dedicated space for pasting begins in AX5.
In the code I have now, it copies and pastes the range into the desired (first) position, however once I click the command button again it re-pastes into the exact same place i.e. overwriting the original paste. I need the next iteration to paste in the next available cells to the right.
Here is my code so far;
Sub columnmacro()
ActiveSheet.Range("B5:AG1004").Copy
Sheets("Optimise").Range("ax5").End(xlToLeft).Offset(, 1).PasteSpecial xlValues
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
Hopefully someone can help, thanks!
Try this:
Sub SubColumnMacro()
'Declarations.
Dim RngSource As Range
Dim RngDestination As Range
'Setting variables.
Set RngSource = ActiveSheet.Range("B5:AG1004")
Set RngDestination = Sheets("Optimise").Range("AX5").Resize(RngSource.Rows.Count, RngSource.Columns.Count)
'Finding the next avaiable spot on the right to report RngSource values.
Do Until Excel.WorksheetFunction.CountBlank(RngDestination) = RngDestination.Cells.Count
Set RngDestination = RngDestination.Offset(0, 1)
Loop
'Reporting Rngsource values in RngDestination.
RngDestination.Value = RngSource.Value
End Sub
I hope someone can help me with this as it's driving me up the wall!
There are 5 non-contiguous cells in a worksheet that I want to copy to the next empty row on another worksheet whilst retaining the number formatting (which varies). I have this so far but am struggling working out how to retain formatting. Can anyone please help? Thanks I anticipation.
`With wsCalc
For bRun = 1 To 4
bData(bRun) = Application.Choose(bRun, .Range("g2"), .Range("b2"), .Range("R2"), .Range("Q14"))
Next bRun
End With
wSResults.Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Offset(1).Resize(, 4).Value = bData
`
Here's a possible solution, using your hard-coded cell addresses. You will have to set wsCalc and wsResults to their proper worksheets. Slightly more elegant would be to define a "non-contiguous" range on your wsCalc sheet (select the 1st cell, keep Ctrl pressed and select the next one etc, then type a name in the drop-down box just to the left of the formula bar).
Option Explicit
Sub CopyWithFormat()
Dim wsCalc As Worksheet
Set wsCalc = ActiveSheet 'Or whatever your calc sheet is
Dim rngSource As Range
Set rngSource = wsCalc.[G2,B2,R2,Q14]
Dim wsResults As Worksheet
Set wsResults = ActiveSheet 'Or whatever your result sheet is
Dim clDest As Range
Set clDest = wsResults.Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Offset(1)
Dim cl As Range
For Each cl In rngSource.Cells
clDest.Value = cl.Value
clDest.NumberFormat = cl.NumberFormat
Set clDest = clDest.Offset(1)
Next cl
End Sub
Instead of using .Value, try .Text. It retains formatting. See below.
Gary's Student is right, text is read only, it should be used for the input not the output.
bData(bRun) = Application.Choose(bRun, .Range("g2").Text, .Range("b2").Text, .Range("R2").Text, .Range("Q14").Text)
I also agree with other answer the entire code could be set up more straight forward.
I'm having an Excel Spreadsheet with 3 sheets inside and I need to copy certain cell range from Sheet1 and copy it to Sheet2.
And I'm trying to get the range of cells to be copied as an input in a cell that is available in Sheet 3. Like the cell would have value A4:X6 in it. But I'm unable to get the input values passed on to the Range function in my Macro code.
Below is my code and when I execute, it just enters an empty row in the Sheet 2
Sub CopyData()
Sheet3.Select
Set Range1 = Range(Cells(3, 3).Value)
Sheet1.Select
Range1.Copy
Sheet2.Select
Range("A2").Select
Range("A2").EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlShiftDown
End Sub
I want the contents of cell denoted in Range1 to be copied from Sheet1 and pasted in Sheet2.
Thank you in advance!
John Coleman is right you can avoid using Select for the whole subroutine. But, your problem here is when you define the range it is defining it specifically for Sheet3 and not Sheet1. One alternative is you could store the address in a string that gets passed to the Range() function, but specify which sheet you want your range to reflect. The rest of the code can be handled much the same without using Select.
Sub CopyData()
Dim range1 as Range
dim strRange as String
strRange = Sheet3.Cells(3, 3).Value
Set range1 = Sheet1.Range(strRange)
range1.Copy Sheet2.Range("A2")
Sheet2.Range("A2").EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlShiftDown
End Sub
Use Set Range1 = Sheet3.Range(Cells(3, 3).Value) instead of Set Range1 = Range(Cells(3, 3).Value) or the range get selected from sheet1 because of Sheet1.Select
when i execute, it just enters an empty row in the Sheet 2 Of course it does. Your code does exactly that. Line Range("A2").EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlShiftDown creates the row. There is nothing in your code that pastes the content of range A4:X6 ot whatever input you got in the cell.
Actually, if you delete your code and leave it like this:
Sub CopyData()
Range("A2").EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlShiftDown
End Sub
You will get the same, a new row inserted.
I want the contents of cell denoted in Range1 to be copied from Sheet1 and pasted in Sheet2
I guess you are trying to copy a specific range, not a whole row and paste it, you need something like this:
Sub CopyData()
Dim Range1 As Range
Set Range1 = Sheet1.Range(Sheet3.Cells(3, 3).Value)
Range1.Copy
Sheet2.Range("A2").PasteSpecial (xlPasteAll) 'this command will paste the contents
End Sub
This example shows how to insert a line above line 2, copied to the format of the line down (line 3) and from the header line
Range("2:2").Insert CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromRightOrBelow
As you understood, .Insert will always insert blank row.
I guess that you would like to paste a range in your sheet and not insert a new row for this you should do like this :
Sheets("SheetName").Range("A2").PasteSpecial (xlPasteAll)
Also note that xlPasteAll is an XlPasteType as xlPasteFormats , xlPasteValues and so on.
xlPasteAll will paste all
xlPasteFormats will paste the source format
xlPasteValues will paste the value
So your code would be as below :
Sub CopyData()
Dim Range1 As Range
Dim Range2 As Range
Set Range1 = Sheet1.Range(Sheet3.Cells(3, 3).Value)'Will define the range you want to copy
Range1.Copy 'here you copy the range
Set Range2 = Sheet2.Range("A2") 'Set the range where you want to paste data
Range2.PasteSpecial (xlPasteValues) 'then you will paste your range
End Sub
Click here to get the list of those XlPasteType
BONUS
Sheet2.Select
Range("A2").Select
is the same as
Set Range2 = Sheet2.Range("A2")
But the last way is better because it avoid Select which can slow down your performances !
Is there a specific requirement for inserting the copied data at the top or would you be happy adding it to the end of the "list" instead? If so, you could find the last used row and add it at the bottom instead like this:
Sub CopyFromSheet1toSheet2()
Dim thisBook As Workbook: Set thisBook = ThisWorkbook
Dim sheetOne As Worksheet: Set sheetOne = thisBook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Dim sheetTwo As Worksheet: Set sheetTwo = thisBook.Worksheets("Sheet2")
Dim copyFromRange As Range: Set copyFromRange = sheetOne.Range("A4:X6")
Dim lastRow As Long: lastRow = sheetTwo.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Dim pasteToRange As Range: Set pasteToRange = sheetTwo.Range("A" & lastRow)
copyFromRange.Copy Destination:=pasteToRange
End Sub
"lastRow" returns the numeric value of the last used row in a given column. If you have data in A1:A4 then this code would add the next lot of data copied to A5 and below.
I have data in Excel. I want to copy the header and some data from the middle of sheet to Powerpoint. I know that you can't copy a selection of non-adjacent cells in Excel, but I was under the impression it would work with VBA.
My try:
With Workbooks(1).Sheets(1)
Set rng = Union(.Range("B2:K3"), .Range("B45:K85"))
End With
I can select "rng", but I can't paste it anywhere because I get the error message that you can't paste non-adjacent cells.
I've also tried this, but it resulted in the whole table (B2:K85) getting copied:
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Set rng1 = .Range("B2:K3")
Set rng2 = .Range("B45:K85")
Set NewRng = .Range(rng1.Address & ":" & rng2.Address)
End With
I've googled this question and tried various things, but either I misunderstood what is possible with VBA or I'm making a mistake (over and over again).
So do I have to alter my code or do I have to work around it? My alternative solution would be to copy-paste each of the two ranges, put them underneath each other and then copy the whole, now contiguous range.
You can use the Areas property of the Range object to get the unionized ranges. Code like the below will loop through each of the sub-ranges, copy them, and paste them elsewhere. Try and adapt to your needs, and write back if you need some help.
Sub Test()
Dim rng As Range
Dim r As Range
Dim destination As Range
Set rng = Union(Range("A1:B3"), Range("D1:E2"))
Set destination = Range("H1")
For Each r In rng.Areas
r.Copy destination
Set destination = destination.Offset(, 3)
Next r
End Sub
I'm tyring to look for a way to return a range of cells with just the lookup function. Is this really possible?
Basically like this:
=LOOKUP([MasterBook.xlsm]Sheet3!$A:$A,?)
I just want the function to look in the main workbook through all of Column A and return all cells for Column A that have something in them.
EDIT for poster below:
Sure. I have two workbooks; one workbook is essentially a local product that has a "master" sheet on top and then individual worksheets following it that have all of their information extracted from the master sheet. The second workbook is a local copy of a product that I send to a non-local entity higher up the food chain. Basically I need to pull information from the individual sheets in my first workbook and put it in the appropriate columns in the second workbook. I have a macro that gets the info from my sheets in the one workbook over to the other, but the second workbook is formatted differently. I was looking for a way to use a formula if possible.
The macro I am referring to is:
Sub CopyTest()
Dim sourceColumn As Range, targetColumn As Range
Set sourceColumn = Workbooks("Local Workbook.xlsm").Worksheets("Sheet3").Columns("A")
Set targetColumn = Workbooks("Nonlocal Workbook.xlsm").Worksheets("Sheet1").Columns("A")
sourceColumn.Copy Destination:=targetColumn
End Sub
All this does is pull the specified column from one sheet and put it in the column on the second book; but it just pastes it starting in the first block. Since the non-local book is formatted differently, the column I need to transfer to doesn't start until Row 9. shrug I have ideas abuot what I'm trying to do with this, but my ideas tend to exceed my technical ability (which occasionally makes it difficult to explain). :)
Depending on how different your workbooks are formatted. Here is two way to handle this:
Adapt your macro
Instead of copying the whole column, you can copy paste, only the values you want to.
Here is an example:
Sub CopyTest()
Dim rSource As Range, rTarget As Range
Dim lEnd As Long
lEnd = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
Set rSource = Workbooks("Local Workbook.xlsm").Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("A1:A" & lEnd)
Set rTarget = Workbooks("Nonlocal Workbook.xlsm").Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A9")
rSource.Copy Destination:=rTarget
End Sub
Use a formula
If your data are not in the same order, you'd better use a VLOOKUP formula.
See how it works.
Don't hesitate to post another question with what you've built for some help. Please give as much details as possible so we could help you the best way.
[EDIT] Another try following the comments
Option Explicit
Dim wTarget As Workbook
Sub mainCopy()
Dim bGo As Boolean
bGo = True
'Add a new workbook to copy the data - do you want the user to select one?
Set wTarget = Application.Workbooks.Add()
Do While bGo
CopyTest
bGo = MsgBox("Do you want to import data from another workbook?", vbYesNo, "Continue?")
Loop
End Sub
Sub CopyTest()
Dim rSource As Range, rTarget As Range
Dim lEnd As Long, lCol As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim vFile As Variant
vFile = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel-files,*.xls", _
1, "Select One File To Open", , False)
'if the user didn't select a file, exit sub
If TypeName(vFile) = "Boolean" Then Exit Sub
Workbooks.Open vFile
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
'do you need to copy the columns separately?
' For lCol = 1 To 10
'find the last cell of the 10th column
lEnd = ws.Cells(65536, 10).End(xlUp).Row
Set rSource = ws.Range("A1:J" & lEnd)
'How can we define the target worksheet?
Set rTarget = wTarget.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A9")
rSource.Copy Destination:=rTarget
' Next lCol
Next ws
End Sub
