[vba] Copy and Paste a set range in the next empty row

This should be simple but I am having a tough time.. I want to copy the cells A3 through E3, and paste them into the next empty row on a different worksheet. I have used this code before in longer strings of code.. but i had to tweak it and it is not working this time. I get a "application-defined or object-defined error" when i run the code seen below. All help is appreciated.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim lastrow As Long

lastrow = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).row
   Range("A3:E3").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Summary Info").Range("A:A" & lastrow)
End Sub

This question is related to vba excel

The answer is


Be careful with the "Range(...)" without first qualifying a Worksheet because it will use the currently Active worksheet to make the copy from. It's best to fully qualify both sheets. Please give this a shot (please change "Sheet1" with the copy worksheet):

EDIT: edited for pasting values only based on comments below.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  Dim copySheet As Worksheet
  Dim pasteSheet As Worksheet

  Set copySheet = Worksheets("Sheet1")
  Set pasteSheet = Worksheets("Sheet2")

  copySheet.Range("A3:E3").Copy
  pasteSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
  Application.CutCopyMode = False
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

You could also try this

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A3:E3").Copy

Dim lastrow As Long
lastrow = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row

Sheets("Summary Info").Activate
Cells(lastrow + 1, 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

End Sub

The reason the code isn't working is because lastrow is measured from whatever sheet is currently active, and "A:A500" (or other number) is not a valid range reference.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Dim lastrow As Long

    lastrow = Sheets("Summary Info").Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row    ' or + 1
    Range("A3:E3").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Summary Info").Range("A" & lastrow)
End Sub

Below is the code that works well but my values overlap in sheet "Final" everytime the condition of <=11 meets in sheet "Calculator"

I would like you to kindly support me to modify the code so that the cursor should move to next blank cell and values keeps on adding up like a list.

Dim i As Integer
Dim ws1 As Worksheet: Set ws1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Calculator")
Dim ws2 As Worksheet: Set ws2 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Final")

For i = 2 To ws1.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row

    If ws1.Cells(i, 4) <= 11 Then

        ws2.Cells(i, 1).Value = Left(Worksheets("Calculator").Cells(i, 1).Value, Len(Worksheets("Calculator").Cells(i, 1).Value) - 0)
        ws2.Cells(i, 2) = Application.VLookup(Cells(i, 1), Worksheets("Calculator").Columns("A:D"), 4, False)
        ws2.Cells(i, 3) = Application.VLookup(Cells(i, 1), Worksheets("Calculator").Columns("A:E"), 5, False)
        ws2.Cells(i, 4) = Application.VLookup(Cells(i, 1), Worksheets("Calculator").Columns("A:B"), 2, False)
        ws2.Cells(i, 5) = Application.VLookup(Cells(i, 1), Worksheets("Calculator").Columns("A:C"), 3, False)

    End If
Next i
