I am trying to copy the data from one worksheet and paste it in another worksheet. But it is not working and asking me to use "A1" or R1C1. But I need to start the pasting from cell A5.
This is the code -
Range("A5:C9").PasteSpecial
Kindly share your thoughts. Thanks.

If you just need to paste the data from one worksheet to another, you can skip PasteSpecial (well, .Copy altogether) and just set the two ranges equal to another.
Worksheets("DESTworksheet").Range([DESTINATION range]).Value = Worksheets("ORIGINworksheet").Range([COPY range]).Value
So, try:
Worksheets("DestinationSheet").Range("A5:C9").Value = Worksheets("CopyFromSheet").Range("A5:C9").Value
Of course changing the worksheet names (and/or ranges) as necessary.

I want to use a number in a cell of my main excel sheet and use it to search for a specific line in another excel file that start with this number. After, the program needs to use the value of a specific cell in this line for a cell in my main excel sheet.
EX : value of the first cell in my sheet : 6.02 . Now the program need to find this value in a column of another file. The line that start with 6.02 contain a cell with the value dog. The value dog need to go inside a cell next to the first one that contain 6.02.
I need your help because I know nothing about VBA. I'm starting today!
Thank you very much !!
You can accomplish this with a VLOOKUP between two books. The guts of the equation are below. You wont actually type in the '[book2]SheetName' portion, this will need to reflect the name of your other workbook and the sheet that you are looking at within that book.
A2 = Look up value (in your example 6.02)
X1 = Column the return value is (in your example "dog")
X2 = Column Index Number (Of if you are not starting from A it represents the (Index Col of Value - Index of Look up Value) + 1
=VLOOKUP(A2,'[Book2]SheetName'!$A$X1,X2,0)

Need help in using vba to auto filter columns in a workbook but the filter criteria is in a cell reference on another workbook. To Start, i have 2 workbooks, the first is the report template where the macro is entered and the other is the data file that needs to be filtered.
You can reference reference cells in the (closed) template workbook in your Autofilter VBA statement. ExecuteExcel4Macro is of help here, permitting to evaluate a reference to another, closed workbook the same way it would be typed in a formula.
For example, to autofilter a range by cell B5 of the control sheet in the report template:
myRange.AutoFilter 1, ExecuteExcel4Macro("'C:\myPath\myfolder\[Report.xltx]control'!R5C2")
Notice that ExecuteExcel4Macro requires RC-style addresses, so use R5C2 for B5, R5C3 for C5 and R5C4 for D5...

Here's the situation:
I have two excel sheets.
The first sheet contains a table of product codes and product descriptions (Two columns A and B).
I have a second sheet where someone is supposed to enter the product code and automatically have the next cell fill up with the product description and the cell next to it with the time.
I was wondering if that's do-able without VBA? If so, can someone give me start.
Best,
You could have the first cell that you want to auto fill have an IF statement, where if the cell has no value, nothing happens, and anything other than that gets a calculation.
Using A2:B100 as a Range if you have a header Row. Adjust to your own needs, of course.
IF FUNCTION
'IF (condition, result if true, result if false)'
VLOOKUP FUNCTION
'VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,range_lookup)'
=If($A1 = "", "", VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!$A$2:$B$100,2))
The next cell over would have something similar:
=IF($A1 = "", "", NOW())
This will get you the time. You will also have to have the cell format set to Time.
There is a problem with that. The screenshot below illustrates it.
It will just keep refreshing with the current time over and over. I would use a bit of VBA to solve that by setting the value property instead of a formula.
Sheets("Sheet2").Cells(row,col).Value = Now()
You could copy and paste the value into another cell. Just the value. Not the formula.
Or you could check out this article: about generating Time Stamps.

I'm a beginner in VBA, I've been searching in the internet that could possibly help me get any ideas about my problem.But I can't find any result that is closely related to what I've been searching for, so I came here. I can't wrote any macro about this because I don't even know where to start.I have an excel as my database containing an ID number and a last name of a person. I want to create a macro that has an input box.If the value/text is found anywhere in the workbook the cell is highlighted in yellow. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
If you can do without the input box and just enter your search text into a cell instead, I have a solution that involves no macros.
Just use conditional formatting instead. If the first cell of your data was say B2, highlight that cell and select conditional formatting from the ribbon menu, then New Rule followed by Use formula. In the format values enter the following:
=NOT(ISERROR(FIND($D$1,B2,1)))
Where B2 is you highlighted data cell and $D$1 is the cell where you are entering your search text. You can change the search cell location but must have the $$s.
Next hit the format button and change the fill color to yellow, then click OK.
All you then need to do is copy the format from the first data cell to the rest of the column.

I know the range name of the start of a list - 1 column wide and x rows deep.
How do I calculate x?
There is more data in the column than just this list. However, this list is contiguous - there is nothing in any of the cells above or below or either side beside it.
Sheet1.Range("myrange").Rows.Count
Function ListRowCount(ByVal FirstCellName as String) as Long
With thisworkbook.Names(FirstCellName).RefersToRange
If isempty(.Offset(1,0).value) Then
ListRowCount = 1
Else
ListRowCount = .End(xlDown).row - .row + 1
End If
End With
End Function
But if you are damn sure there's nothing around the list, then just thisworkbook.Names(FirstCellName).RefersToRange.CurrentRegion.rows.count
Why not use an Excel formula to determine the rows? For instance, if you are looking for how many cells contain data in Column A use this:
=COUNTIFS(A:A,"<>")
You can replace <> with any value to get how many rows have that value in it.
=COUNTIFS(A:A,"2008")
This can be used for finding filled cells in a row too.
You can also use:
Range( RangeName ).end(xlDown).row
to find the last row with data in it starting at your named range.
I am sure that you probably wanted the answer that #GSerg gave. There is also a worksheet function called rows that will give you the number of rows.
So, if you have a named data range called Data that has 7 rows, then =ROWS(Data) will show 7 in that cell.
That single last line worked perfectly #GSerg.
The other function was what I had been working on but I don't like having to resort to UDF's unless absolutely necessary.
I had been trying a combination of excel and vba and had got this to work - but its clunky compared with your answer.
strArea = Sheets("Oper St Report CC").Range("cc_rev").CurrentRegion.Address
cc_rev_rows = "=ROWS(" & strArea & ")"
Range("cc_rev_count").Formula = cc_rev_rows
