Force Paste Special Values
Oct 26, 2006
I have a workbook where I want to retain FORMATS in all of my cells in all of my sheets, but allow the user to enter data. So I got this code to undo PASTE and instead do a PASTE SPECIAL VALUES:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Dim UndoString As String
On Error GoTo err_handler
UndoString = Application.CommandBars("Standard").Controls("&Undo").List(1)
If Left(UndoString, 5) = "Paste" Then 'Only allow Paste Special|Values
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Undo
Target.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End If......................

I have a sheet which is protected but people are still able to change cell formats etc if they use the standard paste method. I want people to be able to paste data in but it forces paste special values to stop people pasting formats etc over already formatted and locked cells.
I know I could write a macro and run it using the shortcut keys ctrl-v but then the users lose the ability to undo if they make a mistake.
Is there a way to force paste special or allow users to run a macro but be able to do undo if they make a mistake?

I have a little bit of problem with lookup function. When i paste values from another worksheet (paste special, values) in a cell which is lookup value i get #N/A. These values are numbers. When i put '7 for example i get the values i want from lookup table. I have a lot of these cells and its tedious job to put ' in front of every value. Is there a quicker solution?

Paste can this be set to default to Paste Special Values only ?
I have a sheet with a number of lists validated drop down boxes. The sheet is networked and works fine.
Problem other users as they are entering information into the required cells they are copying and pasting. Then the inevitable occurs they paste data into the wrong cells the validation from the original cell is pasted as well. Is there a way I can set paste special values only to be the default for the full sheet.
Unfortunately we use excel 97 in the office.

I have a person who needs to be able to copy and paste values very frequently. She would like me to set up a personal macro on her PC that will allow her to be able to right-click in a cell and have a context item that is paste values so she does not need to go to the paste special dialog continually.
E.g: She selects a range from one workbook and copies it, She then selects a cell in a second workbook and pastes the values into the second workbook. She does not mind pasting the formatting, but she does not want to paste the formulas as there are many named ranges in the formulas and if she inadvertently pastes everything, all of a sudden the next time she opens her second workbook there are links to the first. All she wants in the second workbook are the values, not the formulas.

I am trying to copy a range of cells and Need to transpose the values. Easy Enough? When I right-click and paste special, it gives me a new window with an array of options but not the standard Paste special value screen. I have used the others in the past and just pasted text. However this does not give me the paste transpose option which is what I need.
I am sure this is a User error where there is something about the way that I am copying this information but I am Drawing a Blank...

I have a macro that should allow users to change a certain range to values, but I have problems with that last piece. Can anyone tell me what the command is to paste the range as values?
Sub Change_Range()
Dim UserRange As Range
DefaultRange = Selection.Address
On Error Goto Canceled
Set UserRange = Application.InputBox _
(Prompt:="Change Range to Values:", _
Title:="Range Change", _
Default:=DefaultRange, _
Type:=8)
UserRange.Copy
UserRange.PasteSpecial
Canceled:
End Sub

I have a workbook which contains lots of formula and is therefore very large (about 70 mb). The sheet pulls information from field instruments every hour of every day for the entire year.
I want to write a macro, that loops through a range (B5:B8764) and copies the entire row if the value in column B is less than =NOW() - 7 days. The copied rows should then be pasted with values only exactly where they were located e.g. row 5 should be pasted back to row 5 the only difference being only the values will be pasted.

I have a perplexing problem. I created code to copy a worksheet that has the correct page setup and then copy/paste special to get just the values, not the formulas from the master sheet. It works standalone - the copied worksheet after doing the paste/special just has the data along with the master sheet's original page setup. When I include the code within a For Each... loop, it only copies the worksheet and I get the formulas. What is different between the two approaches that would cause the loop code to not do the paste/special values?
Code that works:
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Sheets("PerfCompDashDistrict").Activate
Sheets("PerfCompDashDistrict").Select
Sheets("PerfCompDashDistrict").Copy Before:=Sheets("Store")
[Code] ........
Code doesn't work:
For Each DistrictCell In DistrictRange
Sheets("PerfCompDashDistrict").Range("c4") = DistrictCell
Calculate
Sheets("PerfCompDashDistrict").Activate
Sheets("PerfCompDashDistrict").Select
Sheets("PerfCompDashDistrict").Copy Before:=Sheets("Store")
[Code] .....

create a macro to perform paste special as value function. First scenario.. IF cell A2 is equal to 1 copy paste special values in I2:J2 cells ( this cells are formula.. need to perform paste special to prevent it in updating)then IF A3 is equal to 2 copy paste special values in I3:J3 cells.same action till A31. Second scenario is if O2 cell has a value of 100% copy paste special as values formula in K2 cell, then if O3 cell has a value of 100% copy paste special as values formula in K3 cell.. same action till O31 cell. take note I manually input values in A2 TO A31 cells as well as on O2 to O31 cells. I want the macro to perform the paste special as values only when I put value in Cell A. and Cell O (CELL A and CELL O are not dependent to each other so they should function individually in the macro).

I have a few Excel files in use in my tv station's newsroom. The purpose is to allow Producers to enter text and then send that data to on-air character generators.
Here is the problem I'm running into: I have protected the sheets, which contain unprotected cells so the users can enter data....but if they copy something from a web page and paste it into the Excel file, that cell's formatting changes to include the html coding that was also (inadvertantly) copied.
How can I set up Control+V to ALWAYS act like "Paste Special/Values" so that only the text-content is pasted and the formatting of the cells in the my Excel files is not touched?

we have a change on our sheet, make it easy for our guys. Column A, is the date. Today 6/29.
They enter it once at the top, and it pastes for them automatically (a simple cell = $E$1)
But now, when I use the macro, it pastes over the formula that I don't want nor need, and have to call the second macro for. But then everything in that column shoes E1 on my new sheet, which is not the date... and each sheet changes dates, so I can't just have the date all the same.
What can I do in my original code to still make it loop, pull all my pages that I tell it to, but paste values only?
Would it be possible, in my loop, to highlight my cells, on that sheet... A2:C100, copy them, paste themselves right onto themselves, as values only, then copy over to my new sheet?

Is there a short- cut key sequence for paste special value short of: Alt+E+S+V
or
Writing a subroutine in Personal.xls and giving it a shortcut key like:
Sub PasteValues ()
Selection.Formula=Selection.Value

For some reason the following code, when executed, pulls a named range from the source workbook (sProj_Name). I feel like I have used this exact same code before and not encountered this issue. This named range is linked to the source workbook so if I save the file and re-open I get the wonderful 'would you like to update links' pop up. I cant figure out why, when I am forcing it to paste only values and formats, it is picking up this named range. In addition the source workbook has way more than one named range, so why it doesn't pull all instead of just one is a mystery to me as well.
VB:
With Workbooks(sProj_Name).Worksheets(2)
.Cells.Copy
Sheet2.Cells(1, 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Sheet2.Cells(1, 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlFormats
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End With

I use to have a macro that could copy formulas from non contiguous ranges and paste the values in the same cells. So for example, I could select a non contiguous range like B5:B10, E10:F12, and G1:G10. The macro would then copy and paste the values in those 3 ranges, so those 3 ranges would be values instead of formulas.
I think it worked by storing each range and then looping through each range to copy and paste special values.

Not sure if it's me or a new change in excel 2010, yet creating a simple macro as listed below does not work.
Outside of macro I will select a range of data and copy.
Then, using macro I'd like i to perform: paste special values, in the current cell

I have 9 worksheets in a book with sheets 1-8 used for data entry, and sheet 9 used for a weekly data upload. Sheets 1-8 are all formatted the same, they just represent different vendors. I need a macro to look through column F (invoice number) on sheets 1-8 and see if the value of each cell already appears in column c on sheet 9. If the value is not found and the row value for column M (sheets 1-8) is >0, I need to copy the data from columns D:K and paste special values into the next blank row on sheet 9.
Basically I'm trying to see if I've already paid an invoice, and if not then I need to automatically add the data for payment. I've tried to mess around with a VBA code myself and ended up with a migraine every time. I've also tried to use the advanced filter, but the cell values I need to copy over contain formulas and conditional formatting...not to mention I can't delete the data on sheet 9 that has already been added.

In the code below, I am copying information from a master sheet to various sub-sheets, but I cant figure out how, based on the way I have written my code, to copy and paste special values. I commented out the line that I need pasted special values.
Dim intData As Integer
Set wsData = Worksheets("Data")
LastRow = wsData. Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set wsCrit = Worksheets.Add
wsData.Range("E3:E" & LastRow). AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=wsCrit.Range("E3"), Unique:=True
LastRowCrit = wsCrit.Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For I = 4 To LastRowCrit
Set wsNew = Worksheets.Add
wsNew.Name = wsCrit.Range("E" & I).Value
wsNew.Range("a3").Value = "Estimator"
wsNew.Range("a5").Value = "IP Number"
wsNew.Range("b5").Value = "Project Name" ......................

I am trying to create a macro to copy multiple sheets to a single named worksheet, all within the same workbook. The code below works, except I want to copy only the data (no formulas). Can I add code to paste values, or do I need to start over?

Dim ws As Worksheet
Worksheets("Summary").UsedRange.Delete
For Each ws In Worksheets
If ws.Name <> "Summary" Then

Been playing with this for some time and can't quite figure it out. I'm trying to copy a named range and paste special value to another named range of the same size. I recorded a Macro that does what I need, and I'll use if necessary, but thought I'd try to consolidate the code a bit and can't get it to work. The recorded macro is as follows:
Sub PasteRanges()
Application.Goto Reference:="DataCopy30Yr"
Selection.Copy
Application.Goto Reference:="DataPaste30Yr"
ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:=3, Link:=1, DisplayAsIcon:=False, _
IconFileName:=False
End Sub
My attempt to consolidate was this:
Sub PasteRanges()
Range("DataCopy30Yr").Copy Destination: Range("DataPaste30Yr").PasteSpecial (xlPasteValues)
End Sub
I get the Run-time error 1004 Copy method of Range class failed when I try to run this. Again, I can use the longer version with no problem, but in the interest of learning and since I have spent some time not being able to come up with the solution, I thought I'd ask the experts opinions before I gave up on it.

I often need to use Paste Special... Values, using Excel 2003. So I recorded a Macro into "Personal.xls" and assigned a shortcut key combination "CTRL-Shift-V" so that it would always be available. I first select one or more cells and hit CTRL-C to copy to clipboard, click on another cell, then hit CTRL-Shift-V to run the following macro: Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
It often works . . . and it often fails. When it is working it seems to keep working over and over. When it is failing it keeps failing. So it is almost as if there are two "modes" of operation, which for lack of terms, for this post I will coin the terms "fail mode" and "fixed mode". Once I am in one of the two modes, it stays there for a while. When it is in the "fail mode", I always get the dreaded: Run-time error 1004: "Pastespecial method of Range class failed".
Since this problem is very intermittent, I believe this is why there are so many posts in the Internet about this, and so many people are replying back "it works fine for me". I have seen many solutions offered but none work so far for just a simple shortcut key to do a PasteSpecial :Values. Some solutions "work" . . . such as adding the PasteSpecial button to the Toolbar, or pressing ALT-E-S-V <Enter> - but both of these bring up the Paste Special dialog box which I want to avoid. I spent days trying the many solutions offered but so far all I have found is a trick to convert Excel from "fail mode" to "fixed mode". The trick is to add a line to the macro to first do a "Paste Special: Format:
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

I have written a short VBA code to create a Paste Special values keyboard shortcut.
Is there a way or a place that I can put this code so that every time I open any workbook in Excel, or open Excel itself that this VBA code will be active and I can use the keyboard shortcut?

Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Then select and copy any cell/s, click on another cell, and run the macro just ONCE - it will paste the formatted value successfully and you are now in the "fixed mode". Now you can remove the PasteSpecial:Format line that you just added, to get back to the original macro with just the "Paste Special: Values" line:
VB : Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Now Excel is in the "fixed mode" and the original macro will once again start working properly. BUT only for a while !! Then some time later, usually within a day or a couple hours . . . Excel goes back into that "mode" where once again the macro fails repeatedly. I have been unable to isolate what causes the mode to return to failure.
Any simple way to either change the code so that it ALWAYS is successful, why this often is not successful ? I believe that the fact that adding in the Paste Special : Format code and running it just once to fix the problem, also could be a clue as to what causes this problem to "sometimes" occur.

I use the following formula to count unique values within a group for a pivot:
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(($CO$2:$CO55681=CO55681)*($E$2:$E55681=E55681))>1,0,1)
When I paste values over the formula it takes around 1 hours to do the 70k cells which is excessive. I want to know if there is a way to speed it up?
I tried doing an =cell and then paste special that and it works really fast but when I delete the actual formula's again the whole sheet locks up.

Need VBA macro that will copy & paste (Special > AS VALUES) from one of two (Data A & B) sheets based on the contents of a validation cell ($D$4) in a third (Report) sheet? The destination starting cell would be $F$11. ALSO - I'd like to have the Named Ranges "DataAExtract" & "DataBExtract" used in the code (for the COPY region) so I can see an example of how to reflect my actual named ranges in my working file.
The reason for doing this is that the "c.Characters...." lines in my conditional formatting macros (attached) are not working on cells containing formula output (in my working file the Report page is all populated by VLOOKUP results), but the macros run fine on hard-coded values. In my attached workbook, I'd like to have the "NEW" macro for the copy & paste step fire first in the sequence of macros running after the FORM button-click (control located in cell $D$5 of the Report sheet), whether that's by writing a new macro and calling mine before the new one ends, OR by consolidating all of my macros plus the new one into one smooth progression.
With this low-tech approach I can get updated VALUES into the report area once the user selects a data source and a customer on the report sheet. The COPY ranges in my working spreadsheet will update based on the selections made in the report page. I tried recording a macro and then modifying the recorded code to add the "If > Then" functionality I'm looking for, but I'm pretty green when it comes to VBA code and syntax.

Copy over data from different workbooks and using paste special values to paste it into a new workbook using a macro. Here is what I have and what I am looking for:
My file path is
C:Documents and SettingsMy DocumentsProjectCostsDecember12
In this folder I have workbooks called:
Function1
Function2
Function3
In each workbook I have 4 worksheets
Cashable12-13
NonCashable12-13
Total12-13
GrandTotal12-13
I also have a workbook called DecMonthlyTotal in the same folder with the same named worksheets.
I am looking for a macro to be placed in the DecMonthlyTotal that will pull the data from the Cashable12-13 worksheets from Function1, Function2 and Function3 and paste special the values into workbook DecMonthlyTotal, worksheet name Cashable12-13, it will also pull the data from the NonCashable12-13 worksheets from Function1, Function2 and Function3 and paste special the values into workbook DecMonthlyTotal, worksheet name NonCashable12-13
Both the Cashable12-13 and the NonCashable12-13 have Columns A - G The row that the macro should start the copying from is Row 3 for each of the workbooks; however I don't have an end row for the workbooks as this will vary.
I am using Excel version 2003.
