Selection Is Too Large Error Trying To Copy/Paste

Apr 16, 2008

I'm working in a rather large (20meg) Excel file with multiple worksheets, references, formatting, etc.

Suddenly, when I attempt to Copy > Paste Special > Formats using more than a few cells at a time, I receive this error message...

"Selection is too large."

That's it - no reference, no nothing. Doesn't matter if I select a few cells, or entire rows, I get the same message everytime. However, I can copy-n-paste the entire 8000+ rows of data into a NEW file with no problems whatsoever. It handles everything - data, formatting, formulas, etc. But within my working file (same worksheet even) I get the error everytime.

I'm not using a macro. This file has worked fine for months. I'm doing absolutely nothing differently than ever before. This error literally just started today.

I know there is some issue with copy/paste of 8100+ non-contiguos cells, but I'm using contiguos cells. And again, I can copy nearly 10K entire rows of data and paste into a new workbook - just not within the same workbook and worksheet.

I've searched online - here, Mr.Excel, Microsoft, everywhere I can think of. Of all the problems I've found answers too, I have yet to find ANYTHING dealing with this problem - except in the context of a macro, which I am not using.

Copy & Paste Selection Based On Combo Box Selection

Jan 30, 2007

I have attached a portion of an excel file I am using at the moment. What I require is a piece of VBA code which will allow me to copy selected data based on a combo box selection. What needs to happen is this :-

If the selection in the "Index" worksheet combo box related to "Month" in cell G19 is for instance "December", I would like the macro to compare this cell value to the cell values in cells C96, C124, C152, C180, C209, C236, C263 and C290 in the "Tech Services" worksheet and where the values match.......copy the commentary (Range C126:Z147 in December's case) to the range C34:Z55.

Copy-paste Large Workbook

Jan 5, 2009

I'm having a little bit of trouble with my code. I basically need to copy-paste special a large workbook (50 worksheets) into a new range-valued workbook. I've defined Sheet as S, but in some instances when I use the variable "S" I received a runtime error 1004.

Please see the highlighted red "S" in the code below.

Also, if one knew of an easier method for this particular operation that would be great!

Sub PasteSpecial()

Dim W As Workbook
Dim S1 As Worksheet
Dim S As Sheets

Set W = Workbooks("newfile2")

Set S1 = W.Worksheets("Sheet1")

Set S = Sheets

S(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3")).Select
S1.Activate
S(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3")).Copy
Cells.Select
Range("a1").Activate
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Paste:=XlPasteFormat
S("Sheet2").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Paste:=XlPasteFormat
S("Sheet3").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Paste:=XlPasteFormat

MsgBox "New Range-Valued Workbook has been created"

Application.CutCopyMode = False

End Sub

Copy And Paste Portions Of Excel Worksheets - Picture Is Too Large

Dec 2, 2013

Recently, when trying to copy and paste portions of excel worksheets, I've been getting the message: The picture is too large and will be truncated.

I have copied and pasted this same way for years and the problem has just arisen over the past month. An excel issue or possibly something else and just getting the message with Excel since it's the software I'm using 90% of every day?

My files are stored on a network drive, not my hard drive.

Copy And Paste Multiple Selection

May 28, 2005

I want to copy a selection of cells and paste them into a row on another
sheet.

An example would be to copy:

Sheets("Sheet1").Range("T5,C7:T9,T13,C15:T17,T19,C21:T23")

and put it into A4:F4 on Sheet2

I know I can do it one cell at a time but I was hoping that I could speed
things up and do it all in one go as the macro will be quite long.

Copy & Paste Autofiltered Selection In VBA

Oct 22, 2008

I have autofiltered a selection of data then issued the copy command in the code below so as to copy the visible area. In attempting to paste the data in the first blank row the program fails on the last code statement, "ActiveSheet.Paste".

The error is 1004.

An alternative suggested in the error message is to select an area the same shape and size as that being copied to paste into. Given that the copied data will change on each run how might I do this, and is this a valid alternative?

Selection.AutoFilter
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=7, Criteria1:="=TC", Operator:=xlAnd
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=">=7330", Operator:=xlAnd
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Select
Selection.Copy
Range("A" & LR + 1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
NB. most of the code has been generated by the Macro recorder.

Copy And Paste Selection Macro Into New Worksheet Keeps Overwriting The Previous Data

I have a copy and paste macro below, that copies the selected rows and pastes them into a different sheet called Blank BOM. Each time they are pasted, it just writes over the previous items at the top of the list. I would like it to paste in the next open row, so I can go back and forth between the sheets and add things. Here is the code:

VB:
Sub CopyRow()
Selection.Copy Sheets("Blank BOM").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)

Error Message (Compile Error, Procedure Too Large)

May 20, 2009

I am looking for a more efficient way to write a macro (a sample from the macro is below). This is just the first part of the macro. I need to repeat these same steps (seen for row 5 below) for rows 5 to 50. My script worked until I hit row 35 and then I got the "compile error.." message. There must be a way to use "loop" to write this more efficiently, no?

Error Message When Automating Copy/paste Worksheets

Oct 9, 2009

I have been working on this macro all day and no matter how many different ways I write it I can't seem to get it to finish correctly without giving me an error message. The error messages are different depending on how I write the macro, so what the message says is not important.

I have attached a sample of my work which contains the macro, but I'll post the code below as well. There are two tabs in the workbook. One contains the data("download") and the other is the template("Blank") per say. I need the macro to create a new worksheet using the template for each line of the data ("download")until it gets to the "finalrow." It names the worksheets the value of D3 currently, but I'd like to figure out how to name the worksheets by C3. c3 contains the names of customers, and is duplicated for each product they have purchased. I'd just like to attach a number after the name if it is a duplicate. i.e. Adam, Adam1, Adam2, Adam3 for all "Adam"s.

Look into the code and see if that makes sense. if not, feel free to ask questions.

Copy / Paste From Cell In One Sheet To A Cell In Another Dependent On Selection Of Dropdown Menu

May 31, 2012

I have a workbook with two sheets. The idea behind the workbook is an Interview Guide to be used just before an Interview. For now my problem is this.

Sheet 2 "Competencies" is just data. It stores competencies with their associated definitions and questions.

Sheet 1 "Control Page" is the sheet where the questions will eventually go. The user (Interviewer) will input data on the first two pages which will include name of candidate, date of interview etc. but they will also select 5 Competencies from the already existing drop down menus on page two. From there as the selections are made I wish for a code to copy the corresponding definition on sheet 'Competencies" to cells lower down in sheet "Control page".

I don't see a place to upload a file as I have a sample of the sheet ready to go.

Copy/Paste Error Object Doesn't Support This Property Or Method

Oct 16, 2008

The macro below is stored within worksheet "Data Lookup". When the value in B1 changes, the code is executed but fails when it comes to the paste function. I get a "Object doesn't support this property or method".

Also, it appears the copying is not occuring correctly. It is supposed to copy from the Data3 worksheet but, in fact, its copying from the Data Lookup worksheet. Does storing this macro within a worksheet prevent the macro from moving between sheets?

Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
If Range("B1").Value = Range("N1").Value Then End
Sheets("Data3").Select
Cells(13, 6).Copy
Sheets("Data Lookup").Select
Cells(23, 11).Paste

Compile Error: Procedure Too Large

It is telling me to "break up" the procedure, but I have no idea what that means or how to do it. There has got to be an easier way to do this.

Compile Error Procedure Too Large When Trying To Run Macro

May 29, 2013

I am running into a Procedure too large error when running my macro. My macro is designed to replace a cell value with another cell value in a list. When the cell value is replaced a vlookup brings in new data to my workboook. Then the macro refreshes all the pivot tables and saves the workbork. I want my macro to repeat the above 60 times, so I have copied the code 60 times and changed the ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 to point to the next value in my list. (Is there another way to select the next value from the list without changing the Row and Column number?) This is where my macro fails.

Below is my code.

VB:
Sheets("Data").Select
Range("B2").Select
[COLOR=#FF0000] ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[25]" ' AGC GRP_ID[/COLOR]
Sheets("Ship pivot and cum triangle").Select
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable4").RefreshTable
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

VBA Select Case Error / Procedure Too Large

I have 30 different cases working well in one module so far. Now I need to add some more cases, but the system doesn't allow me to start defining any new cases under Select - Case, it shows: compile error: procedure too large.

I'm thinking maybe there's a way to combine multiple cases like Case 30, 31, 32 in one statement, and use if, else to define each one?? So the coding won't return the "Procedure Too Large" error? see my original coding as below:

counter = 0
colkey = 0

If TypeName(cont) = "CheckBox" Then
counter = counter + 1
