Copying excel row from one sheet to another - vba

Question

I am copying data from one sheet to another, from source range(Q5:AIxxx) to destination range(C6:Uxxx)
My VBA code starts with a cell and loops to the end of the column to finish copying that column's data:
Set s = Worksheets("Source")
Set d = Worksheets("Destination")
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer
j = 6
For i = 5 To 1500
If s.Cells(i, 1).Value = "a" Or s.Cells(i, 1).Value = "b" Then
d.Cells(j, 3).Value = s.Cells(i, 17).Value
j = j + 1
End If
Next i
I have > 20 columns to move, is there a way I can copy the row at once? something like this:
d.Cells(j, 3:21).Value = s.Cells(i, 17:35).Value
At the moment, I'm having to specify each column:
d.Cells(j, 3).Value = s.Cells(i, 17).Value 'column 1
d.Cells(j, 4).Value = s.Cells(i, 18).Value 'column 2
d.Cells(j, 5).Value = s.Cells(i, 19).Value 'column 3
etc

Answer 1

You can do it by
d.range(d.cells(j,3), d.cells(j,21)).copy
s.range(s.cells(i,17), s.cells(i,35)).pastespecial xlvalues

Answer 2

You can use:
.Range(<your_range>).copy
For example do:
Activesheet.Range("A1:B10").Copy
and thenjust paste anywhere you want with .Paste
ActiveSheet.Paste Destination:=Worksheets(2).Range("D1:D5")
It's a build in function in vba.

Answer 3

Using ranges instead can make it a bit easier:
Dim s As Range, d As Range
Set d = Worksheets("Destination").Cells(6, 15) ' notice the column 15
For Each s in Worksheets("Source").Range("A5:A1500")
If s = "a" Or s = "b" Then
d(,3) = s(,3)
d(,4) = s(,4)
' or d(,3).Resize(,19) = s(,3).Resize(,19) ' .Value optional
Set d = d.Offset(1) ' move to next row
End If
Next
There are easier ways to do that without VBA. For example Power Query, PivotTable, Copy Link and Table Filter, Data tab > From Access, etc.
