I am trying to copy data from an employee worksheet into a database that tracks the history of that data when they click submit. Everything is working well, except I can't figure out how to change the code to copy and paste values instead of the formulas.
View 2 RepliesI recently received an .xls book which I then saved as .xlsx (I'm using 2010). There are just under 8,000 rows and 20 columns. File Size 1MB.
The only formulas in the sheet are the ones in a column which I inserted and copied down for all 8,000 rows. Nothing too complicated: no arrays or anything. The sheet calculates fine.
I am simply trying to copy and paste these formulas as values (into the same cells), though at every attempt Excel crashes. I tried on smaller sets of the column and just got it to work for a few hundred rows, though it struggles with any more than that.
I opened a different workbook of mine, and tried the same operation on twice as many cells containing complicated, lengthy array formulas and the action completed instantly.
There is no Conditional Formatting in the book, no code, no 'last cell' issue, no Named Ranges, no external links.
I have even copied the data to a new workbook, then copied the text of just one of the formulas over into this book, added an equals sign, copied down and recalculated, then tried to paste as values again. Still crashes.
Formula:
=IF(AND(N3>1,ROWS($1:1)<>MATCH(M3,$M$3:$M$7979,0)),"Exact Duplicate","")
is far more resource-hungry than I thought, though if that were the case, wouldn't the issue be during calculation (which, as I said, is fine) and not during a paste attempt? No, it can't be this.
I'm trying to copy and paste this formula to multiple cells and am having difficulty doing so without everything in the formula changing.. SUMIF(Bankroll!Q14:Q6000,U143,Bankroll!Y14:Y6000)
I only want the U143 to change to U144, U145, etc. Yet when I copy and paste down the sheet it changes the Q14:Q6000 and the Y14:Y6000 values as well. I've been having to go through and paste the formula one line at a time and then manually change the U143 to the current U cell that I want it to represent in order to keep the rest of the values the same. Is there a faster way than this?
I have code that "mostly" works great. I'm copying columns from one sheet to another sheet, but in different columns. I have unique code for each copy/paste. The source is mostly raw data. However, there are a few columns that are formula-based, and I'm having a problem. I've attached my code, and it works, but it takes 20 minutes to complete.
I'm very new to macros, but I think(?) I know enough that a data source with 2,000 rows and 30 columns shouldn't take 20 minutes to complete the macro calculations. All of the columns (copy and paste) in the code are pure data. The only exception is the column labeled "AI". Is there are shortcut, other than creating new columns in the source data sheet and pasting these results as values? I put the specific pieces of code that I'm referencing in bold.
For simplicity sake if I wanted to paste the letter A in to a cell that already had the letter B in it to make the cell read AB how could I achieve this?
View 10 Replies View RelatedIm looking for code to add new rows and copy the formulas only (not values) into the cells A, B, C, D and F. I have found code that does this in various places online but in every case I have found they duplicate the row then remove the values (so the formulas are left behind). The issue I have however is that it triggers some change event code I have on the sheet which interrupts the process.
Is it not possible to simply insert a new blank row, then copy down the formulas only without values?
I would like to do a mass paste of this formula: =VLOOKUP(A23,A2:C9, 2)
With the only variable that changes along the way (A24, then A25, etc). But as I paste, (A2:C9), the table array, keeps changing as well, to A3:C10, A4:C11, etc.
How can I prevent this and only have A23 change as I paste?
I have attached the file. The row being copied is row "X" for both buttons. I have 2 buttons in the same worksheet to copy a row and insert the copied row below it. I have this macro running for 2 different rows in the worksheet, assigned to the respective 2 buttons. See my code below.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIf I have a formula on Sheet2 which creates conclusions depending on data already existing on Sheet1 and then I need to paste the same formula on Sheet4 in order to get conclusions from Sheet3, then what can I do? Every time I am trying to paste the formula, it connects it with Sheet1 instead of Sheet3
In other words
Sheet1: Data
Sheet2: Extracted conclusions from Sheet1 data based on a formula
Sheet3: Data similarly organized as in Sheet1
Sheet4: How do I extract the same conclusions, but this time from Sheet3?
The formula on Sheet2 is:
=INDEX(Sheet1!$E$312:$E$5000;((COLUMNS($A4:B4)-1)*20)+1)
I would like to copy this formula from Sheet2, then paste it to Sheet4 and then to have it appearing as
=INDEX(Sheet3!$E$312:$E$5000;((COLUMNS($A4:B4)-1)*20)+1)
Is this possible?
I have been asked by my manager to make new shelf labels for all our stationery products for the VAT change in the new year. I'm sure I can get excel to help me make the task quicker but i'm just having trouble with pasting the formulas into the label template that I have to use, I was wondering if anyone could tell me why and if it is possible to do with the way I set the document out. Attached is what I have so far.
if there is a simpler way of doing this. The data sheet is the item description and the old price. The labels sheet i need to be able to print off in that format so i can cut it up and use the labels on our shelves. The formula for the VAT change is on the labels sheet, it works on the old price on the data sheet. I want to be able to quickly apply the formulas and format of the labels to more cells in the sheet so i can print off multiple pages of labels.
I have tried just copying the current formatted cells (A2 to C29) which I have seperatley typed the formulas into (takes ages) and pasting them beneath that. It doesnt continue the formula though. Instead of the next label cells formula carrying on and being Data!A43 it become Data!A29. Perhaps what I want to do is not even possible!
I've set up a spreadsheet structure at work which is three workbooks linked together.
I created this initially within My documents saved locally to my machine. Now though, I need to move the folder containing these workbooks onto the server to be accessed by others. My problem is that when cutting and pasting the folder, the formulas within the three spreadsheets still refer to their original location within My Documents rather than following the folder to their new location.
I was wondering if there was a way to create patterns when copying and pasting formulas?
For example, here is what I want to do right now:
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I650)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I649)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I648)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I647)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I646)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I645)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I644)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I643)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I642)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I641)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I640)
In other words, have a pattern in the formula?
Or something like this, but filling out cells horizontally.
=A1/A100
=A1/A99
=A1/A98
=A1/A97
=A1/A96
=A1/A95
etc...
Or:
=A1*A1
=A1*A2
=A1*A4
=A1*A8
=A1*A16
=A1*A32
=A1*A64
etc...
I need to paste the format and formulas of the last row of data into a new row beneath it. I've seen a bunch of different end row functions, but which one is best and how do I only paste the formulas and formatting?

I have got a workbook with 20 or more worksheets. Every quarter I need to paste/append new data on these worksheets (which has already got existing data from previous quarters). All worksheets have different rows of data, for eg One worksheet may have 10rows, the other may have 50. Hence when I am writing my code, I cannot specify the destination cell as for eg A11, or A51.
How do I write up a VBA code that looks for the last row of data on these various worksheets and then pastes the new information on the next row(new row).
I'm new to VBA but have had it working well for me, until the other night when a user complained that when he ran a macro, it came up with the error "Paste method of Worksheet class failed". I should note that this has worked time and time again, so I'm lost. I also found tonnes of answers with a Google search but they were all relative to that persons code.

I've been trying to use the source code from one of my earlier modules pasted into a new one.
The only thing I changed was the name, and the necessary parameters.
The code doesn't run, is there some logical reason for this?
I've attached a sample workbook in which there are 3 macro-buttons.
The buttons will paste a shape in the active cell. So this means the buttons themselves could be deleted and replaced with a shape.
Since locking and then protecting the cells disables the macros, how can I amend the code to make sure the buttons' cells are protected from the copying and pasting macros? Or, how do I ensure that the macros only work in A1 - E5?
Consider two instances of Excel - one with a workbook containing a chart and some VBA code, the other containing a blank workbook. When I paste a chart from the first instance of Excel to the other, all the VBA code from the original workbook is also pasted into a new third hidden workbook in the second instance of Excel! If that weren't weird enough ON WINDOWS XP (but not Windows 2000) if the VBA code included WorkbookOpen or AutoOpen this code is executed in the second instance of Excel, which of course fails if it references sheets that only existed in the workbook open in the first instance of Excel! This is the first time I've seen the same version of Excel do different things on different versions of Windows! Example attached - What's going on!?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to paste values from a list into a different list - different tab - that is already filtered. When I try to do so, the values will paste into the hidden cells - being filtered -.
Find attached an easy example of my problem. The list I am talking about is around 1,000 lines.
Pasting Example.xlsx
To explain my example, I filter sheet 1 so only item I need are showing - B, D and F in this case - and I would like to paste the value of Alarm 3 from the Sheet 2 to the corresponding line in sheet 1. But it does not really work - line F is not filled - and when I un-filter values are filled into Item C and D.
Objective:
* I want to copy a range that starts at 1 cell immediately to the right of AddressStart and extends for 100 cells wide
* I want to paste 10 rows of this information
* AddressStart will be a variable address such as B2, B10, B1000
Here is my current code (which fails on copy/paste):
Code:
For NewRows = 1 To 10
WSReqs.Range(AddressStart).Offset(NewRows, 0).EntireRow.Insert
WSReqs.Range(AddressStart, Cells(0, 100)).Offset(0, 1).Copy Destination:=WSReqs.Range(AddressStart, Cells(0, 100)).Offset(NewRows, 0)
Next NewRows
Questions:
1) How do I set the relative reference to set the size of width of the row to be pasted?
2) Is it possible to refer to the end of the row (far right)
I did the following, and get an error message, that itself seems erroneous.
Steps:
In the source sheet, i selected A9:G9, copied.
In the destination sheet, I selected A9:G9, and then "paste formatting"
In the source range, I selected the same cells, A9:G9, and copy
In the destination sheet, I selected A9:G9, and "paste values"
But, at "paste values" two error alerts come up (and the operation fails):
"The operation requires the merged cells to be the identical size"
"The information cannot be pasted because the copy area and the paste area are not the same size and shape"
Within the range, cells C9:D9 are merged. On the destination sheet, before i try to paste values, the cells that I am pasting into appear to be identically merged, if you just arrow by them, the cell highlighted is merged, and "Merge and Center" is highlighted in the ribbon.
So, I do not understand why i cannot paste in this case, since it would all appear to match up properly.
Upon further investigation, it appears that i cannot "paste values" with any cells along with the merged cell, in the same operation. If I only paste the merged cell alone, with "paste values" it works. But, if i add even one cell on either side, it fails in the same way, even though the selected paste region exactly matches the selected source region, in terms of what cell is merged.
I have a pretty slick macro that once ran will save the spreadsheet and copy the input to a master sheet, so far it is very functional. I borrowed most of the code from within this forum, as VBA is not my strong point. My problem being that when the script runs and posts the output to the master sheet, it is pasting formulas. I need it to strictly paste the values in, otherwise my master sheet is referencing hundreds of other worksheets.

I have values printed between from c5:c14 ( not always all 10 will be filled up. sometimes can be 1 also). Wanted some code or method where any value in this gets pasted in the second sheet from A1 onwards. Also whatever number of times I paste it keeps on adding one below the other in the A column in the second sheet . Important : If there are blank cells between one value and other in the working sheet, then it should eliminate the blank space and paste it in sequence in the second sheet. i.e if there are values in c5 , c8 , c14. Then when pasting in the second sheet it will be in A1,A2,A3.

I have browsed for two days looking for material on effecting this. The technique quoted most is watch for undolist for paste & auto fill then undo the change and paste the value again with specific formatting needs. This technique can be implemented in a worksheet_change event handler. The problem that I am facing is that the user can copy and past while my VBA is running. Once it is caught inside my own application class object event handler all that undo stack is already cleared. Therefore I have nothing that tells me if the user has entered the value via a paste action. By the time the value is pasted, all that formatting would have been entered. For example, a value that is interpreted by another workbook as DATE will have my destination formatting changed to DATE as well even though it is designed to be TEXT at design time.
So far I have not been able to think of a scheme to deal with this.
My basic intention is to always ensure the destination cell formatting remains as TEXT. If something is already interpreted as DATE after the paste even if I can convert to TEXT the string will appear totally differently. I have to find a way to paste the whole thing as TEXT in order to keep the string the same. The problem is that there is no intrinsic PASTE event in VBA. Without a method to undo that paste I cannot catch this at all.

How to copy and paste conditional formatting with our changing the cell values. My first row of data starts in row 4 and here is what I have in D4
If D4 is less than or equal to AA4, AW4, BS4, CO4 then it will highlight D4
Now I want to copy that format and paste it for all rows in column D. The problem I'm having though is when I paste the formula it doesn't change to match the row I'm on. For example, when I paste it in D5 this is what I get
If D5 is less than or equal to AA4, AW4, BS4, CO4 then it will highlight D5
How do I paste it so that it will update to show AA5, AW5, BS5, and CO5. I want to be able to do this for 500 rows.
