I am new to macro writing and I need some help.
I have one sheet and need to copy the columns and reorder them to paste into a software program.
I want to copy A2 - the last data entry in column A and paste it into A1 on Sheet2
I want to copy B2 - the last data entry in column A and paste it into K1 on Sheet2
I want to copy C2 - the last data entry in column A and paste it into C1 on Sheet2
I want to copy D2 - the last data entry in column A and paste it into D1 on Sheet2
Then from Sheet 2, I want to copy A1:KXXXX (to the last entry in column A) and save it on the clipboard to paste into the other application
Here is my code, I have tried... (I know this is just for copying column A, but I got stuck there.)
Sub Copy()
aLastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Range("A2" & aLastRow).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End Sub
Thank you so much for your help!

Try this instead. Given that you said you got an error with the paste code and I am still using that, I think you'll still have an error there. Post the error message. Hopefully we can figure that out.
Sub copyStuff()
Dim wsIn As Worksheet
Set wsIn = Application.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Dim endRow As Long
wsIn.Activate
endRow = wsIn.Cells(wsIn.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Dim r As Range
Dim wsOut As Worksheet
Set wsOut = Application.Worksheets("Sheet2")
' column a to column a
Set r = wsIn.Range(Cells(2, 1), Cells(endRow, 1))
r.Copy
wsOut.Range("A1").PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
' column b to column k
Set r = wsIn.Range(Cells(2, 2), Cells(endRow, 2))
r.Copy
wsOut.Range("K1").PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
' column c to column c
Set r = wsIn.Range(Cells(2, 3), Cells(endRow, 3))
r.Copy
wsOut.Range("C1").PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
' column d to column d
Set r = wsIn.Range(Cells(2, 4), Cells(endRow, 4))
r.Copy
wsOut.Range("D1").PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
' Copy data from sheet 2 into clipboard
wsOut.Activate
Set r = wsOut.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(endRow - 1, 11))
r.Copy
End Sub
My original answer is below here. You can disregard.
This should accomplish your first goal:
Sub copyStuff()
Dim wsIn As Worksheet
Set wsIn = Application.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Dim endRow As Long
endRow = wsIn.Cells(wsIn.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Dim r As range
Set r = wsIn.range(Cells(2, 1), Cells(endRow, 4))
r.Copy
Dim wsOut As Worksheet
Set wsOut = Application.Worksheets("Sheet2")
wsOut.range("A1").PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
End Sub
I copied all 4 columns at once since that would be much faster but it assumes the columns are the same length. If that isn't true you would need to copy one at a time.
The data should be in the clipboard at the end of the macro.
Edit: I removed "wsIn.Activate" since it isn't really needed.
Edit 2: Oops! I just noticed you wanted the output in different columns. I'll work on it.
Generally you want to avoid .Select and .Paste when copying values and rather copy by .value = .value:
Sub Copy()
Dim aLastRow As Long
Dim clipboard As MSForms.DataObject
Set clipboard = New MSForms.DataObject
aLastRow = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1:A" & aLastRow - 1).Value = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:A" & aLastRow).Value
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("K1:K" & aLastRow - 1).Value = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B2:B" & aLastRow).Value
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("C1:D" & aLastRow - 1).Value = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C2:D" & aLastRow).Value
clipboard.SetText Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1:K" & aLastRow - 1).Value
clipboard.PutInClipboard
End Sub

VBA Copy column and paste formulas only - not values - to next column
Spreadsheet column B has a random mix of values and formulas. I want to use VBA to copy that column into the next column and only copy the formulas (not the values) into column C. I was able to use the following VBA to some success but it copies every column past B to infinity (where I want it to stop copying after the first column).
Sub Copy_Column_Formulas_NOvalues()
'
' Copy_Column_Formulas_NOvalues Macro
'
Dim oSheet As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Dim cel As Range
Set oSheet = Sheets("Sheet1")
With oSheet
Set rng = .Range(.Range("B1"), .Range("B" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
For Each cel In rng
If Left(cel.Formula, 1) = "=" Then
Range(cel.Offset(, 1), cel.Offset(, 1).End(xlToRight)).FormulaR1C1 = cel.FormulaR1C1
End If
Next cel
End With
End Sub
Try this simple macro and let me know if it works,
Sub Copy_Column_Formulas_NOvalues()
Dim i As Long, j As Long
For i = 1 To Sheets("Sheet3").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
If Cells(i, 2).HasFormula Then
Cells(i, 3) = Cells(i, 2).Formula
End If
Next i
End Sub
Change the Sheet3 name as per your needs.
In the code below, my LastRow variable is not storing the right row number on the 27th loop (i = 27) causing the code to malfunction
I have used the F8 step through multiple times and noticed that the issue is on the 27th loop. The LastRow variable is meant to be +1204 rows from the previous LastRow value on each iteration of the loop, so I was expecting LastRow = 32509 instead of LastRow = 31316. For reference, on the 26th loop, LastRow = 31305. I'm not sure why the it is finding the wrong LastRow when the code has worked for the first 26 loops.
I am trying to get from my Source Table to my Desired Table:
Source Table
to
Desired Table
Also , the final error that shows is:
Run-Time error '1004': Application -defined or object- defined error

A summary of what you want, as you described in the comments:
Copy the values from cells E1:DU1, paste each cell 1204 times in column C.
1st loop it will paste cell E1 in C2:C1205
2nd loop it will paste cell F1 to C1206:C2409
etc.
This code achieves that:
Sub Populate_entity()
' Declare 2 range variables (top row to copy from and paste destination)
Dim RowRange As Range
Dim PasteCells As Range
' Use the With block to specify the sheet. If you want the destination
' to be another sheet, then you can specify that instead:
' ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SheetName").Range("...")
With ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
Set RowRange = .Range("E1:DU1") ' Set range to copy from
Set PasteCells = .Range("C2:C1205") ' Set paste cells, blocks of 1204 cells in column C
End With
' Loop through RowRange, copy each cell's value into PasteCells
' Then offset the PasteCells range by 1024 rows, so next RowRange cell
' is inserted underneath previously copied cells.
Dim ofst As Long
For ofst = 1 To RowRange.Cells.Count
' Use .Value to avoid the (comparably slow) copy/paste operation
PasteCells.Offset((ofst - 1) * 1204, 0).Value = RowRange.Cells(ofst).Value
Next ofst
End Sub
In my opinion you don't need any search because your code always places the SearchString in row 1205. Since you know that it is there you don't need to look for it. This thought brings me to the code below.
Sub Populate_Entity()
Dim C As Long ' Column
Dim Target As Range
Dim FirstRow As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
FirstRow = 2
LastRow = 7 '1205
C = 3
Range("C2").value = Range("E1").value
' Cells(2, C).Value = Cells(1, 5).Value
Do
Set Target = Range(Cells(FirstRow, C), Cells(LastRow, C))
Target.FillDown
C = C + 1
Cells(2, C).value = "Can't figure"
Loop While C < 3 ' 122
End Sub
I have cut the loop short to only 7 rows (instead of 1205) and 3 columns (instead of 122). I just couldn't figure out where the text in the FirstRow should come from. For column C it comes from E1, but where does it come from in the subsequent columns? You can fill this in using the method I showed you above, like, Cells(2, C).Value = Cells(1, 5).Value. I believe that the 5 can be replaced by a value derived from the current C, perhaps C + 2.
Note the Cells(2, C).Value doesn't refer to the value in cell C2. Instead if refers to the cell in Row 2, Column C.
I am copying information from one workbook to another. The code I have so far works great if every column has data. It does not work when I am trying to repeatedly copy information from column A and B of worksheet(supplementary expenses) to worksheet(expenses) and column B is blank. As the next time the sub is run and Column B does have values they are placed in the next blank cell, not the cell that is correlated to column A.
Here is the code I have so far:
Sub SupplementaryExpenses()
Dim x As Workbook
Dim y As Workbook
Set y = Workbooks.Open("File Path")
Set x = Workbooks.Open("File Path")
x.Sheets("b.1 Supplementary expenses").Range("a9", Range("a9").End(xlDown)).Copy
y.Sheets("Expenses").Range("a1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
x.Sheets("b.1 Supplementary expenses").Range("b9", Range("b9").End(xlDown)).Copy
y.Sheets("Expenses").Range("b1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
x.Sheets("b.1 Supplementary expenses").Range("c9", Range("c9").End(xlDown)).Copy
y.Sheets("Expenses").Range("c1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Also any time this sub is run it would be helpful if there were someway to fill column L with the flag 201601 and then change to 201602 when I bring in the next months data.
Try this:
Sub SupplementaryExpenses()
Dim x As Workbook
Dim y As Workbook
Dim lastrow As Long
Dim tRow as long
Set y = Workbooks.Open("File Path")
Set x = Workbooks.Open("File Path")
With x.Sheets("b.1 Supplementary expenses")
lastrow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
tRow = y.Sheets("Expenses").Range("a1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).Row
y.Sheets("Expenses").Range("A" & trow).Resize(lastrow - 8, 3).Value = .Range(.Cells(9, 1), .Cells(lastrow, 3)).Value
y.Sheets("Expenses").Range("D" & trow).Resize(lastrow - 8, 1).Value = .Range(.Cells(9, 8), .Cells(lastrow, 8)).Value
End With
End Sub
It will take all of the three columns at once and assign the values to the new area. It will not care about blanks in column B or C.
This should be faster than copy/paste as you only want the values.
Get the last used row and change out your range statements similar to this:
Dim LastRow
LastRow = Cells.Find(What:="*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
x.Sheets("b.1 Supplementary expenses").Range(Cells(9, 1), Cells(LastRow, a)).Copy 'this is R1C1 format meaning row then column
You can use this for filling a column
If you put it after the rest of your code and ensure that you have the sheet you want column L populated with active:
sDate = Format(Date, "yyyymm")
For i = 2 To LastRow' you may need to grab this anew if you added lines
If Cells(i, "L") = vbNullString Then 'ensures that there isn't anything in the cell
Cells(i, "L").value = sDate
End If
Next
I need to copy an entire row from a sheet and paste in another sheet with same header consider a particular column value is equal to 89581.But my VBA throws 424 error.Please help.
Sub CopyData()
Dim c As Range
Dim Row As Long
Dim sheetUse As Worksheet
Dim sheetCopy As Worksheet
Set sheetUse = Sheets("Data1").Select
Set sheetCopy = Sheets("Data2").Select
Row = 3 'Assume same header in sheet2 as in sheet1
For Each c In sheetUse.Range("O3", Sheet1.Range("O65536").End(xlUp))
If c = 89581 Then
'copy this row to sheet2
Row = Row + 1
c.EntireRow.Copy sheetCopy.Cells(Row, 1)
End If
Next c
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
Here you go, build a reference to copy then copy and paste in one go.
Sub CopyToOtherSheet()
Dim sheetUse As Worksheet, sheetCopy As Worksheet, i As Long, CopyRange As String
Set sheetUse = Sheets("Data1")
Set sheetCopy = Sheets("Data2")
For i = 3 To sheetUse.Cells(Rows.Count, 15).End(xlUp).Row
If sheetUse.Cells(i, 15) = 89581 Then CopyRange = CopyRange & "," & i & ":" & i
Next i
sheetUse.Range(Right(CopyRange, Len(CopyRange) - 1)).Copy
sheetCopy.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteAll 'Change to values or formats or whatever you want
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
Assumed Data1 is the sheet with the data in and Data2 is the one to copy to.
Hi I am trying to copy multiple columns from one workbook to another, and below is the code how I copied one and need help in making the code more optimized as I don't want to write same code for all the columns. below is the code.
Sub Copymc()
Dim x As Workbook
Dim y As Workbook
Set x = Workbooks.Open("H:\testing\demo\test2.xlsx")
Set y = Workbooks.Open("H:\testing\demo\test1.xlsx")
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim NextRow As Long
' determine where the data ends on Column B Sheet1
x.Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("A65536").Select
ActiveCell.End(xlUp).Select
LastRow = ActiveCell.Row
' copy the data from Column B in Sheet 1
Range("A2:A" & LastRow).Copy
' Determine where to add the new data in Column C Sheet 2
y.Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("A65536").Select
ActiveCell.End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
NextRow = ActiveCell.Row
' paste the data to Column C Sheet 2
y.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & NextRow).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
I tried to put all columns in range statement but problem I found was how to paste? How can I do it for multiple columns without repeating the code? Thanks in advance.
Let's say you want to copy columns A-D:
Sub Copymc()
Dim x As Workbook
Dim y As Workbook
Set x = Workbooks.Open("H:\testing\demo\test2.xlsx")
Set y = Workbooks.Open("H:\testing\demo\test1.xlsx")
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim NextRow As Long
' determine where the data ends on Column B Sheet1
x.Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("A65536").Select
ActiveCell.End(xlUp).Select
LastRow = ActiveCell.Row
' copy the data from Column B in Sheet 1
Range("A2:D" & LastRow).Copy y.worksheets("Sheet1").range("a65536").end(xlup).offset(1,0)
' Determine where to add the new data in Column C Sheet 2
'y.Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
'Range("A65536").Select
'ActiveCell.End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
'NextRow = ActiveCell.Row
' paste the data to Column C Sheet 2
'y.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & NextRow).Select
'ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
I try to avoid the copy and paste functions as much as possible. To get around this I would loop through all of the values in the column and move them to your other workbook as such:
Sub test()
Dim x As Workbook
Dim y As Workbook
Set x = Workbooks.Open("H:\testing\demo\test2.xlsx")
Set y = Workbooks.Open("H:\testing\demo\test1.xlsx")
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = x.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To LastRow
CopyVal = x.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Offset(i, 0).Value
CopyVal2 = x.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Offset(i, 1).Value
CopyVal3 = x.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Offset(i, 2).Value
CopyVal4 = x.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Offset(i, 3).Value
y.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 3).Value = CopyVal4
y.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 2).Value = CopyVal3
y.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 1).Value = CopyVal2
y.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value = CopyVal
Next
End Sub
