Excel Macro Copy Range Paste offset based on cell value - vba

Question

I have two sheets "Data" - which has raw data and "Report" - as Report form .
Report sheet first 5 rows has info.
Data Sheet there 6 columns of Data available (SlNo Name Desig Place gender Category)
Report sheet has first 5 columns only (SlNo Name Desig Place gender)
Report sheet range C5 is dropdown box (List from Category column of Data sheet).
So based on this C5 value get details from Data sheet and paste in Report sheet.
I tried the following code but it pastes the whole row when I want to paste only Name,Desig,Place,gender details in offset and loop...
Sub ViewBtn()
Dim SCHL As String
Dim x As Long
x = 2
Do While Cells(x, 1) <> ""
Sheets("Report").Range(Cells(x, 1).Address, Cells(x, 5).Address).ClearContents
x = x + 1
Loop
Dim id As String
id = ActiveSheet.Range("C5").Value
x = 2
Sheets("Data").Select
Category = id
Do While Cells(x, 1) <> ""
If Cells(x, 4) = Category Then
Worksheets("Data").Rows(x).Copy
Worksheets("Report").Activate
erow = Sheets("Report").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
ActiveSheet.Paste Destination:=Worksheets("Report").Rows(erow)
End If
Worksheets("Data").Activate
x = x + 1
Loop
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Worksheets("Report").Activate
End Sub

Here is some sample code to do what I think you are asking for. It is not necessarily the shortest or cleverest way to do it, but everything is done step by step so I hope it is clear enough to follow easily.
Option Explicit
Private Sub viewBtn_Click()
'// Set references to worksheets
Dim wsReport As Worksheet: Set wsReport = Sheets("Report")
Dim wsData As Worksheet: Set wsData = Sheets("Data")
'// Get the category to be reported
Dim sCategory As String
sCategory = wsReport.Range("C5")
'// Reference first line of the report, in row 8
Dim rFirstReportLine As Range
Set rFirstReportLine = wsReport.Range("A8:E8")
'// Reference the line of the report to be written
Dim rReportLine As Range
Set rReportLine = rFirstReportLine
'// Clear the old report area
Do While rReportLine.Cells(1, 1) <> ""
rReportLine.Clear
Set rReportLine = rReportLine.Offset(1, 0)
Loop
'// Reset to first line of the report
Set rReportLine = rFirstReportLine
'// Find the first cell, if any, that matches the category
Dim rMatch As Range
Set rMatch = wsData.Range("F:F").Find(sCategory, , , xlWhole)
'// Get reference to top data row of data sheet, just the cols to be copied
Dim rDataRow As Range: Set rDataRow = wsData.Range("A1:E1")
'// check for at least one match
If Not rMatch Is Nothing Then
'// Save the address of the first match for checking end of loop with FindNext
Dim sFirstMatchAddress As String: sFirstMatchAddress = rMatch.Address
Do
'// 1) .. copy data row to the report line
rDataRow.Offset(rMatch.Row - 1).Copy rReportLine
'// 2) .. move the report line down
Set rReportLine = rReportLine.Offset(1, 0)
'// 3) .. find the next match on category
Set rMatch = wsData.Range("F:F").FindNext(rMatch)
'// 4) .. exit when we have looped around
Loop Until rMatch.Address = sFirstMatchAddress
End If
'// Display the number of entries found at the end of the report
With rReportLine
Dim nEntryCount As Integer: nEntryCount = .Row - rFirstReportLine.Row
.Cells(1, 1) = nEntryCount & IIf(nEntryCount = 1, " Entry", " Entries")
.Font.Italic = True
.Font.Color = vbBlue
End With
'// Make sure the report sheet is displayed
wsReport.Activate
End Sub
With this data
Get this result
