Pasting Values Into Cells Without Pasting Over Existing Values
Feb 9, 2010For 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 RepliesI 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 data validation list in col A.
I don't want ppl to be able to paste values in cell - them must either type the data or select from list.
Also - the sheet is protected but col a is open
have tried...without success
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then
Application.CutCopyMode = True
End If
End Sub
I 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.
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.

* 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 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 some text out of note pad in the following format
"cat" "dog" "bird" "turtle"

I am using excel 2010..
I 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 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.
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?
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.
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.
I am trying to come up with a macro that selects values from one sheet and inserts them into another sheet. The number of values will change each time based on the user's entry, as well as the number of times that each entry should be pasted.
For example:
Entry: X | Y | Z
Number of Times to be Inserted to New Sheet 3 | 2 | 1
Result:
X X X Y Y Z
I have spent a while trying to figure it out, however the best I can come up with is using an array, but I can only get one value from the array to paste multiple times:
(*Note: In my testing, I didn't insert into new sheet or set up the array to handle different values, I was just trying to get the basic idea to work)
Dim A(1, 3) As Variant
A(1, 1) = Range("C3").Value
A(1, 2) = Range("D3").Value
A(1, 3) = Range("E3").Value

I am using the below code (i have combined different bits of code which i found on these forums) to open a new workbook, copy all the data in it and paste it into Sheet2 in the active workbook . Also, i want the data to be pasted on the next empty row as there is already data in Sheet2. The data that is being copied and pasted has the same format and it is going to be repeated many times.
The problem i am having is that it is not offsetting the data to the next empty row - i think it is a simple change but i can't seem to get there :s
Also, the code is currently selecting all of the data from the workbook that i open - is there a way i can select all of the data, excluding the first row (the first row contains the headings which i already have in Sheet2 in the active workbook).

Is there any way in VBA to assign a range of cells to a specific dimension of an array? For example: I have dblArray(1000,7). I want all the values of the eighth slot (xxx,7) to be put into a column on a spread sheet. So, i am looking for a quick piece of code that will look (Mine's in psuedo) something like:
range(cells(1,1),cells(ubound(dblarray,1)) = dblArray(XXX,7)
Obviously the XXX part wil not work for a static number (ie, all the range will be filled with one value form the array). I know how to paste a whole array into cells, and know that i can make a workaround with more code if need be, but this seems like a far simpler answer could it be achieved with a line or two of code, and I'm all about performance. I've stripped google clean looking for the answer, but can't find any info...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a set of four sheets that each act as a wall planner type of calendar (one for each team of staff) all in one workbook. I have a sheet that acts as a key where cells on the key display different types of holidays e.g. Annual Leave, Unpaid Leave etc. Normally the user would select the cells where they wish to take the time off against their name and go to the "key" sheet, copy relevant cell and go back to their team sheet and paste. I want to put all this into a macro to be used on a customised button on the menu bar.
I am able to do this with one sheet ( I simply put in the code the name of the sheet that I previously selected) but I don't know how with four sheets. How do I say go back to the sheet I previously selected.
What I'm trying to do is have a row one sheet of a workbook equal a column in another sheet. So ideally it would look like:
Sheet1!A1=Sheet2!A1
Sheet1!B1=Sheet2!A2
Sheet1!C1=Sheet2!A3
But what's happening is it seems like the destination cell keeps moving forward. So when I paste I get:
Sheet1!A1=Sheet2!A1
Sheet1!B1=Sheet2!B1
Sheet1!C1=Sheet2!C1
I've tried adding $ to no avail.
I have a list of names in a Word doc that is set up like this:
John Doe
Jane Doe
Doug Birch

Is there a way to copy that list and paste it into Excel and make each name go into its own cell.

A1 John doe
A2 Jane Doe
A3 Doug Birch
A4 Mary Birch
I have a formatted budget vs actual income statement that has subtotals in the appropriate spots. I would like to be able to paste over the entire column with updated data, but not write over the formulas. For instance, in one spreadsheet I have the data for the month of June and in another I have the data for the month of July. Both have the same number of rows, but are formatted slightly differently. I want to be able to replace the June data with the July data. My first thought was to lock the cells with the formulas, protect the sheet and then paste over the entire column, but I get the following error:
The cell or chart that you are trying to change is protected and therefore read-only.
To modify a protected cell or chart, first remove protection using the Unprotect Sheet command (Review tab, Changes group). You may be prompted for a password)

my data is having blank cells. when I am trying to paste it in other column it is getting pasted as it is. I don't want to copy the blank cells. It should be like Col B.
I am using excel 2007 on a 64 bit windows 7 machine if that matters.
Anyways, I am trying to copy a range of cells from one workbook and then paste that range into another workbook, but ONLY on the visable rows in that notebook.
The first workbook has no hidden rows so I don't need to do any go-to specials to copy them, but the second one of course does have them.
This is a simplified example.
- Workbook 1 has column A with cells 1-10 with data in them that are going to be copied
- Workbook 2 also has a column A, but it has information in cells 1-15 with cells 6-10 hidden from view.
- The copied data from workbook one needs to only land on the visible cells (read: cells 1-5 and cells 10-15)
i have selected cells from workbookA (b2:b8) , i want those selected cells gets pasted in workbookB in a transpose way.
like B1 cell in workbookA pasted into A2 cell in workbookB , B3 cell pasted into D2 , B4 cell pasted into B2 and B5 cell pasted into G2......

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'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?
