[excel] Copy Paste Values only( xlPasteValues )

I'm trying to copy entire column in sheetA to Sheet B. sheetA column has values formed with formuls. I'm copying SheetA column values only using xlPasteValues. But it is not paste the values to another sheetB. The column in sheetB is empty. My VBA Code

    Public Sub CopyrangeA()

    Dim firstrowDB As Long, lastrow As Long
    Dim arr1, arr2, i As Integer

    firstrowDB = 1
    arr1 = Array("BJ", "BK")
    arr2 = Array("A", "B")

         For i = LBound(arr1) To UBound(arr1)
        With Sheets("SheetA")
           lastrow = Application.Max(3, .Cells(.Rows.Count, arr1(i)).End(xlUp).Row)
           .Range(.Cells(1, arr1(i)), .Cells(lastrow, arr1(i))).Copy
           Sheets("SheetB").Range(arr2(i) & firstrowDB).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
        End With
    Next
    Application.CutCopyMode = False

End Sub

Personally, I would shorten it a touch too if all you need is the columns:

For i = LBound(arr1) To UBound(arr1)
    Sheets("SheetA").Columns(arr1(i)).Copy
    Sheets("SheetB").Columns(arr2(i)).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
Next

as from this code snippet, there isnt much point in lastrow or firstrowDB

since you only want values copied, you can pass the values of arr1 directly to arr2 and avoid copy/paste. code inside the loop:

      Sheets("SheetB").Range(arr2(i) & firstrowDB).Resize(lastrow, 1).Value = .Range(.Cells(1, arr1(i)), .Cells(lastrow, arr1(i))).Value

selection=selection.values

this do things at a very fast way.

I've had this problem before too and I think I found the answer.

If you are using a button to run the macro, it is likely linked to a different macro, perhaps a save as version of what you are currently working in and you might not even realize it. Try running the macro directly from VBA (F5) instead of running it with the button. My guess is that will work. You just have to reassign the macro on the button to the one you actually want to run.

You may use this too

Sub CopyPaste()
Sheet1.Range("A:A").Copy

Sheet2.Activate
col = 1
Do Until Sheet2.Cells(1, col) = ""
    col = col + 1
Loop

Sheet2.Cells(1, col).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End Sub

you may use this:

Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
