Numbers Not Pasting Right In The Cell?
Nov 25, 2013
I'm trying to paste the number 1-987654321 into cell A1. But when I click the cell onces then Ctrl+V to paste, it converts the number. It puts 1 into cell A1 and 987654321 into cell A2. I've tried changing the format of the cell to TEXT and GENERAL but that doesn't work. Now I can double click the cell and then paste and that works. My only issue with that is all the other data I'm pasting into the spreadsheet, I'm able to do so by only clicking once. This spreadsheet will be used by 20 people and I'm afraid that if they paste by click once in all the other cells and have to double click to paste in this cell, that it will cause confusion and a headache for me.

Yes, I am a newbie to VBA. I've tried for hours now to come up with code to make this work, but no go.
Here's the situation:
There are a list of cells all in column A (row ? - ???) that have a string that needs to be searched to locate a number, and insert that particular number into a cell in another sheet, which is in another workbook.
These are actual examples:
*001 RJ 17 17 1,436 316 28 17 0 0 0 0 0 0
*042 RJ 39 39 215 215 0 39 0 0 0 0 0 0
*03A RJ 8 8 282 202 2 8 0 0 0 0 0 0
The numbers needed from these examples would be: 1,436
215
282
End results:Trip 001 = 1,436
Trip 042 = 215
Trip 03A = 282
FYI...The cell data always starts with *, and is followed by three characters we refer to as a Trip, then a space, and then RJ.
The column with the data is always "A", but the starting row may not always be the same. The rows continue down one by one, but there may not always be the same number of rows (each row used will ALWAYS start with an asterisk, though.)
The number that needs to be extracted is always between the 4th and 5th spaces - CHR$(32)'s.
The numbers, once found, then need to go in another sheet into one of the following cells - C28, C29, C30 or C31. Which cell the number goes into depends on which one of the cells, C28-C31, matches the three character Trip text shown after the *. There are currently 16 different sheets that need to be searched to find where the matching Trip number is. The sheet names do not change.
and yes, the people always enter everything shown in the example into one cell.

I have a macro that copies all my sheets onto a new sheet called combine. It is pasting onto the combine sheet starting on cell A2 instead of cell A1. Following is my macro.
Sub Combine()
Dim J As Integer
Sheets(1).Select
Worksheets.Add
Sheets(1).Name = "Combined"
On Error Resume Next
For J = 2 To Sheets.Count
Sheets(J).Activate
Range("A1").Select
Selection.CurrentRegion.Select
Selection.Copy Destination:=Sheets("Combined").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)(2)
Next
End Sub

Is it possible to lock in the formatting that would require 12 digits even if someone was copying and pasting to the cell?
We are looking to make our users add information into cells in the format 0-00000-00000-0. They are often copy and pasting, thus overwritting the custom format we have in those cells.
I've looked at validation, but custom only works for a formula.

I'm working with the sort of data that spills over into multiple cells if you try to paste it without first putting the cursor in the function window. Is there any way to change this default behaviour (or, alternately, automatically redirect the cursor to the function window every time I hit "enter" and go to the next cell)? I'm working with literally thousands of entries, so the time spent double-clicking and/or manually redirecting the cursor to the function window adds up after a while.

The follow is the VBA code I have for the process:
Selection.copy
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"O:National LinehaulUtilsation reportsUtilsation report - 2014.xlsx"
With Sheets("DATA").Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
ActiveSheet.Paste
I need to copy content from one spreadsheet and then paste it onto another spreadsheet for archiving purposes.
I need the copied selection to paste on the next available line to keep the archiving neat and undercontrol.

I want to paste into cell A1 of Sheet1, but without selecting that cell first. This code works, but it selects the cell:
Range("A1").Select
Sheet1.Paste Range("A1")
I've tried different variations such as:
Sheet1.Range("A1").Paste Range("A1")
or
Sheet1.Range("A1").Paste
but they result in errors.

I'm trying to paste columns to the last active cell on another sheet and I'm doing something wrong.
Sub WPRFilterMacro()
'
' WPRFilterMacro Macro
' Filter and copy and paste WPR information into WPR sheet
'
Sheets("Data Sheet").Select
Range("A1").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="Work Place Resources"
Range("B2").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Cisco(WPR)").Select
'This takes command activates cell G7 after being on D5, don't know why
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("D2").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
I'm trying to paste this column to the first non-active cell in column D, but the code is taking it down two rows and two columns down, depending on where the active cell starts. I would just start it on a certain cell, but eventually, there will be different starting points.

I have just generated a report of current customer numbers for our company. Unfortunately it reports it as "162 (162)". No idea why the program does it like that because it now makes using VLOOKUP very difficult.
What I want to do is copy the "162" part of the cell and paste it into the adjacent cell to make it easier to manipulate the worksheet. All of the customer numbers are in column D if that makes a difference.

I have a template A that has lines on it, sometimes I want to overlay template B which has other lines on it, however when I past template B on top of A the formats of A are overridden by the formats of template B.
Is there any way of "overlaying" B on top of template A without losing the template A formats?

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)

Here is what is supposed to happen: when the macro button is hit, today's date will appear in the first blank cell in row 3, then the text "late" in the next cell, then finally "1" in the next cell.
I have been trying to use .end(xlright) but i can not quite get it to work.

I am making template and trying to preserve formatting when users paste into a cell. From my research, I have found that this is impossible with simple format protection, it works to prevent changing formating, but if something is pasted (with normal paste), the format will change.
I have found a few solutions, but can't get them to work correctly
Solution A: Disable normal paste and substitute Paste Special - Values
How will this work with pasting via CTRL + V and the right click menu? I need both to function.
Solution B: Allow users to paste normally, but use a macro to copy formatting from a hidden sheet
I actually found code for this, but I couldn't figure out exactly how to impliment it. The sheet that users will be pasting into is called "Batch Summary" and I was trying to pull formatting from a sheet names "Batch Summary Format", but was getting an error.

Is it possible to preserve original text formatting when copying and pasting only part of a cell. Like, for example, a cell may contain ten words one of which is in red and underlined. How do you copy that one word and paste it in another cell so that it remains in red and underlined?

I am trying to create a macro that copies cells B2 and C6 from the active worksheet in a workbook called "transfer". Then searches for the first empty cell in a worksheet called "summary" in a workbook called "report" and pastes the value from B2 in the first empty cell in column D and the value from C6 in the first empty call in column E.

VBA to find the next appropriate blank cell in column "A" when copying ranges of varying sizes and pasting them in a new worksheet one after the next.
Currently I have recorded a macro that uses the code below to get to this location, but I am worried this will break when I get new data of a different range size;
Range(Selection, ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell)).Select 'my initial range selection
Selection.Copy
Windows("myfile.csv").Activate
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Select 'finds last cell of my paste
Range("N69").Select 'I hit the down arrow once to get to new blank row
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select 'to go to begining/col A of new row for next paste
I have tried playing around with
ActiveCell.Next
but can't get it to work.

I have inherited a monstrous speadsheet on which all data appears on a single sheet rather than being broken up across several sheets in some logical fashion.
One portion of this monster is a set of quite a few form letters, each of which reference various cells elsewhere in the spreadsheet.
I want to move all of these letters, together, to another tabbed sheet as a first step in reorganizing the monster.
Simply copying and pasting the cells or columns doesn't work. It fails in different ways depending on which pasting options I employ.
A very simplified version of my problem appears on the 5 sheets of the attached file, with what I hope is just enough further detail about the difficulty.
By the way, I also tried using the "Insert Copied Cells" option when pasting but since this failed with the exact same results as one of the other options I didn't include the results in the example shreadsheet.

I have a column filled with time data that I want to copy in to a column formatted to a time format (hh:mm:ss), the thing is when i copy the data to it the format does not apply unless i double click each of the brackets, there are 14000 lines so doing it manually is a hastle to say the least, is there a way to apply the time format immediately?

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.
