This is what I came up to when trying to copy-paste excel ranges with it's sizes and cell groups. It might be a little too specific for my problem but...:
'** 'Copies a table from one place to another 'TargetRange: where to put the new LayoutTable 'typee: If it is an Instalation Layout table(1) or Package Layout table(2) '**
Sub CopyLayout(TargetRange As Range, typee As Integer)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim ncolumn As Integer
Dim nrow As Integer
SheetLayout.Activate
If (typee = 1) Then 'is installation
Range("installationlayout").Copy Destination:=TargetRange '@SHEET2 TEM DE PASSAR A SER A SHEET DO PROJECT PLAN!@@@@@
ElseIf (typee = 2) Then 'is package
Range("PackageLayout").Copy Destination:=TargetRange '@SHEET2 TEM DE PASSAR A SER A SHEET DO PROJECT PLAN!@@@@@
End If
Sheet2.Select 'SHEET2 TEM DE PASSAR A SER A SHEET DO PROJECT PLAN!@@@@@
If typee = 1 Then
nrow = SheetLayout.Range("installationlayout").Rows.Count
ncolumn = SheetLayout.Range("installationlayout").Columns.Count
Call RowHeightCorrector(SheetLayout.Range("installationlayout"), TargetRange.CurrentRegion, typee, nrow, ncolumn)
ElseIf typee = 2 Then
nrow = SheetLayout.Range("PackageLayout").Rows.Count
ncolumn = SheetLayout.Range("PackageLayout").Columns.Count
Call RowHeightCorrector(SheetLayout.Range("PackageLayout"), TargetRange.CurrentRegion, typee, nrow, ncolumn)
End If
Range("A1").Select 'Deselect the created table
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
'** 'Receives the Pasted Table Range and rearranjes it's properties 'accordingly to the original CopiedTable 'typee: If it is an Instalation Layout table(1) or Package Layout table(2) '**
Function RowHeightCorrector(CopiedTable As Range, PastedTable As Range, typee As Integer, RowCount As Integer, ColumnCount As Integer)
Dim R As Long, C As Long
For R = 1 To RowCount
PastedTable.Rows(R).RowHeight = CopiedTable.CurrentRegion.Rows(R).RowHeight
If R >= 2 And R < RowCount Then
PastedTable.Rows(R).Group 'Main group of the table
End If
If R = 2 Then
PastedTable.Rows(R).Group 'both type of tables have a grouped section at relative position "2" of Rows
ElseIf (R = 4 And typee = 1) Then
PastedTable.Rows(R).Group 'If it is an installation materials table, it has two grouped sections...
End If
Next R
For C = 1 To ColumnCount
PastedTable.Columns(C).ColumnWidth = CopiedTable.CurrentRegion.Columns(C).ColumnWidth
Next C
End Function
Sub test ()
Call CopyLayout(Sheet2.Range("A18"), 2)
end sub
