VBA code for copying and pasting content in multiple worksheets - vba

Please help me with a macro for copying and pasting text from Input sheet (worksheet1) to the Reports sheet (worksheet 2) within the same excel file.
Input Sheet Format:
Name- cell J5
Date- cell J6
Start Time- cell J7
End Time- cell J8
Downtime- cell J9
I need a macro for copying J5:J9 and paste it in A2:E2, using transpose function.
Also, the sheet is shared with multiple users so it needs to be pasted in the last available row in the Reports sheet (worksheet 2).
Presently, I am using the following macro code:
Sub Report()
Sheets("Input").Select
Range("J5:J9").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Reports").Select
Range("A1").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=True
Range("A1").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Sheets("Input").Select
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-5
Sheets("Input").Select
Range("J5:J9").Select
Selection.ClearContents
End Sub
I am getting error at "ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select" while running the macro.
Please advise any changes to the code which can help me fixing the issue.
Thanks

You can rewrite everything you're doing in a few lines:
Sub Report()
' Copy the range from J5:J9 on INPUT worksheet
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Input").Range("J5:J9").Copy
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Reports")
' Find the LAST ROW in COLUMN A
Dim lROW As Long: lROW = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
' Paste in cell A-lROW with transpose
.Range("A" & lROW).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, Transpose:=True
End With
' Clear entry in original INPUT sheet
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Input").Range("J5:J9").ClearContents
End Sub
I'm not sure why you're getting an error for offsetting by one row, it works for me - but it's probably to do with your method of "selecting" the last row

Runtime error '1004' : You cant past this here cause the Copy area and past area arent the same size

I have a macro that copies a list of numbers from column A on the first sheet, and pastes it starting at the first blank cell in column A on the second sheet.
Sheets("TNF").Select
Range("A2").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("TNF Check").Select
Range("A1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Basically, it uses the CTRL+SHIFT+Down function to select everything from A2 down.
It works fine when there is more than one cell to copy. But when there is only one cell, it grabs the entire column A (1048576 cells) and tries to paste it all on the second sheet, which doesnt fit (data is already there).
How can i update the code to not grab the whole column, but rather, only grab cells with data actually in it?
Use xlup:
Sheets("TNF").Range("A2",Sheets("TNF").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlup)).Copy
Sheets("TNF Check").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Or better avoid the clipboard when only wanting values:
Dim rng as Range
Set rng = Sheets("TNF").Range("A2",Sheets("TNF").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlup)).Value
Sheets("TNF Check").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Resize(rng.Rows.Count,1).Value = rng.Value
We can add a simple logic like this.
Replace:
Range("A2").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
With this:
If Range("A3").Value = "" Then
Range("A2").Select
Else
Range(Range("A2"), Range("A2").End(xlDown)).Select
End If

VBA- Why End(xlDown) will take me to the very bottom of my excel

The assignment requires me to run the Monte Carlo result 1000 times. I already create a row of 30 years values(B5:AE5), and I want to repeat the process 1000 times. Every time, there will be a new row comes out, and all the values will be random.
Below is my code, for some reason, it will go to the very bottom of my excel sheet. I want the second row of 30 years values inside (B6:AE6).
Sub Macros()
Dim trail As Long
trail = InputBox("Enter the number of time you want to simulate this Macros", "Macros", "10")
For i = 1 To trail
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("B5").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Selection.Offset(-1, 0).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Range("A4").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMod = False
Next i
Range("B4").Select
End Sub
Thank you sooo much!
To answer your question about why your End(xlDown) takes you to the end of the sheet, the Selection.End(xlDown).Select is similar to pressing Ctrl+Down on the spreadsheet. (Likewise Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select is similar to pressing Ctrl+Right.)
Hence if you are on an empty sheet, or if all the cells beneath the active (or referenced) cell are empty, then pressing Ctrl+Down will bring you to the last row.
All that said, you can avoid that whole issue and improve your code significantly by
Removing all the Select statements and work directly with the range objects.
Using the defined range (B5:AE5) since you know what it is.
Just using the counter to resize the range to to paste the values and formats (and eliminate the loop).
See the code below:
Sub Macros()
Dim trail As Long
trail = InputBox("Enter the number of time you want to simulate this Macros", "Macros", "10")
With Range(Range("B5"), Range("AE5"))
.Copy
.Offset(1).Resize(trail - 1, 30).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
.Offset(1).Resize(trai1 - 1, 30).PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats
End With
With Range("A5")
.Copy .Offset(1).Resize(trail - 1)
End With
'if you don't need to copy the formats you can change the above With statements to just this:
'With Range("A5:BE5")
' .Offset(i).Resize(trail - 1,31).Value = .Value
'End With
End Sub
It sounds like you want to place formulas in the selected number of rows.
Sub Frmla()
Dim i As Long
i = InputBox("enter Number")
Range("B6:AE" & 5 + i).FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C*0.7"'whatever the formula is
End Sub

Autofill destination creating longer runtime

I have used the following macro to convert text to proper format. I select a cell and run the macro. Suppose column A contains 3 filled rows(say A1, A2 and A3 and I want to apply the formula PROPER to columns B1, B2 and B3, B1 being my active cell. When, I run the macro it takes a long time to autofill since while selecting B1 to B3, the number of rows the macro considers is till the end of the worksheet instead of the number of rows in column A. Please suggest how can I solve this issue regarding the Autofill destination.
Sub Macro7()
'
' Macro7 Macro
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+V
'
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=PROPER(RC[-1])"
ActiveCell.Select
**Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown))**
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents
End Sub
Assuming your data starts in A1, and you want to put your formulas in column B, you can use the following (note the removal of .Select)
Sub macro7()
Dim lastRow as integer
lastRow = Activesheet.usedrange.rows.count
Range("B1").Formular1c1 = "=Proper(RC[-1])"
Range("B1").AutoFill Destination:=Range(Cells(1,2),Cells(lastRow,2))
Range(Cells(1,2),Cells(lastRow,2)).Copy
Range(Cells(1,2),Cells(lastRow,2)).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Range(Cells(1,1),cells(lastRow,1)).ClearContents
End sub
But, as asked above, why do you want this as a macro? Unless there's going to be more added, this is probably quicker and easier to do just using =Proper(a1) in the cells, and autofilling down without VBA.

Macro/Code to copy and transpose paste based on criteria

Good day everyone.
I am facing a roadblock currently with an excel file that I'm creating for an assignment.
In my file, I need cells C6:C13 from sheet 'Input' to be transpose pasted in the Database sheet rows C8:J8 or C9:J9 or C10:J10 etc. based on: the content of cell C5 in the 'Input' sheet should match the one of the rows in column B.
You can find the file here: http://tinyurl.com/oz7w97g
Thanks in advance!!!
Edit 2: My problem now is, it is pasting the data in whichever cell is selected in the 'Database' sheet. For example, if J13 is selected, it will automatically paste the data in J13:Q13 without searching for the right cell.
Edit 3: I figured it out, changed 'As String' to 'As Date' and it works. To make it more efficient, is there a way I could reduce the length of this code because bear in mind there are 72 different rows it needs to refer to so I will need to type out 'If' and 'ElseIf' 72 times.
Sub Code1()
Dim strCriteria As Date
strCriteria = Cells(5, "C").Value
Range("C6:C13").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Database").Select
If strCriteria = "01-01-2015" Then
Range("C7").Select
ElseIf strCriteria = "01-01-2016" Then
Range("C8").Select
ElseIf strCriteria = "01-01-2017" Then
Range("C9").Select
End If
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=True
Sheets("Input").Select
Range("D13").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("C13").Select
End Sub
OK. I see your changes. One thing you can do is lookup the destination cell based on the criteia of cell C5. I created a VLOOKUP in cell C4 that will lookup the destination based on the date in cell C5.
The formula in cell C4 is:=VLOOKUP(C5,F5:G7,2,FALSE). The table has 1/1/2015 in cell F5 and "C7" in cell G5. The other dates and cells would follow directly below it.
You can create the lookup table on another sheet if you want.
Here is the new code that then uses the looked up value in cell C4:
Sub Code1()
Dim strCell As String
strCell = Cells(4, "C").Value
Range("C6:C13").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Database").Select
Range(strCell).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=True
Sheets("Input").Select
Range("D13").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("C13").Select
End Sub

VBA to Copy and Past into next blank cell within a set range

I have the below vba code created to copy and paste data. The report I'm creating captures historical data to be updated every hour. I need to be able to paste into the next available cell below B10 but cannot figure out how to do that, any suggestions? Thanks!
Range("A7").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("B10").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
The code assumes that you want the value in cell "A7" to be sent to the first available(blank) cell below B10:
Sub Next_Available()
Dim nextAvailableCell As Long
nextAvailableCell = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).row + 1, 11)
Range("B" & nextAvailableCell) = Range("A7")
End Sub
