Find row value, copy row and all the range underneath for data reduction - vba

Question

I am trying to use a macro to clean up data files and only copy on Sheet2 what is most relevant.
I have written the code to find the row I want the data to be copied from. However I can only copy the row itself and not the range underneath. Please note I need the range to go from that row to the last column and last row as the size of the matriz always varies.
s N s N s N s N s rpm
Linear Real Linear Real Linear Real Linear Real Linear Amplitude
0.0000030 9853.66 0.0000030 5951.83 0.0000030 533.48 0.0000030 476.15 0.0000030 2150.16
0.0000226 9848.63 0.0000226 5948.19 0.0000226 557.02 0.0000226 488.60 0.0000226 2150.16
0.0000421 9826.05 0.0000421 5956.22 0.0000421 615.94 0.0000421 480.75 0.0000421 2150.15
0.0000616 9829.72 0.0000616 5989.72 0.0000616 642.59 0.0000616 476.77 0.0000616 2150.15
So basically the code below finds that first row and copies it in Sheet2. I need the macro to also select the range underneath and copy it onto Sheet2. Please can you help me finishing off the script?
Sub SearchForRawData()
Dim LSearchRow As Integer
Dim LCopyToRow As Integer
On Error GoTo Err_Execute
'Start search in row 1
LSearchRow = 1
'Start copying data to row 2 in Sheet2 (row counter variable)
LCopyToRow = 2
While Len(Range("A" & CStr(LSearchRow)).Value) >= 0
'If value in column A = "s", copy entire row to Sheet2
If Range("A" & CStr(LSearchRow)).Value = "s" Then
'Select row and range in Sheet1 to copy
Rows(CStr(LSearchRow) & ":" & CStr(LSearchRow)).Select
Selection.Copy
'Paste row into Sheet2 in next row
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Rows(CStr(LCopyToRow) & ":" & CStr(LCopyToRow)).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
'Select all Raw Data underneath found Row to Copy
'Paste all Raw Data into Sheet 2
'Move counter to next row
LCopyToRow = LCopyToRow + 1
'Go back to Sheet1 to continue searching
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
End If
LSearchRow = LSearchRow + 1
Wend
'Position on cell A1
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("A1").Select
MsgBox "All matching data has been copied."
Exit Sub
Err_Execute:
MsgBox "An error has occured"
End Sub

You don't need a loop for this if you want to copy the row that has the "s" and everything below it to the target sheet. The following sub finds the row with the "s" in column A and then copies that row and everything below it to the target sheet.
Note that you should always avoid selecting or activating anything in VBA code, and that the normal way to copy and paste relies on selecting. If you use the syntax I've included here, the clipboard is not used and the target sheet does not need to be selected.
Sub CopyRowAndBelowToTarget()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim src As Worksheet
Dim tgt As Worksheet
Dim match As Range
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set src = wb.Sheets("Sheet1")
Set tgt = wb.Sheets("Sheet2")
Dim lastCopyRow As Long
Dim lastPasteRow As Long
Dim lastCol As Long
Dim matchRow As Long
Dim findMe As String
' specify what we're searching for
findMe = "s"
' find our search string in column A (1)
Set match = src.Columns(1).Find(What:=findMe, After:=src.Cells(1, 1), _
LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
' figure out what row our search string is on
matchRow = match.Row
' get the last row and column with data so we know how much to copy
lastCopyRow = src.Range("A" & src.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
lastCol = src.Cells(1, src.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
' find out where on our target sheet we should paste the results
lastPasteRow = tgt.Range("A" & src.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
' use copy/paste syntax that doesn't use the clipboard
' and doesn't select or activate
src.Range(Cells(matchRow, 1), Cells(lastCopyRow, lastCol)).Copy _
tgt.Range("A" & lastPasteRow)
End Sub

Rows(CStr(LSearchRow) & ":" & CStr(LSearchRow)).Select
So firstly you don't acutally need the CStr, vba will cast numbers to strings by itself, i.e. Range(LSearchRow & ":" & LSearchRow) should work fine.
To find how many rows down to go use the end function of the range object:
bottomRow = Range("A" & LSearchRow).End(xldown).Row
Do the same for the column
lastCol = Range("A" & LSearchRow).End(xlleft).column
Now to copy:
Range("A" & LSearchRow & ":" & lastCol & bottomRow).Copy
However if you have empty cells inthe middleof the data then instead of using End(xldown), start at the bottom of the sheet and look up:
bottomRow = Range("A1000000").End(xlup).Row
