hi, thanks much for the reply, not sure yet if your example does what want
yet, takes me much time to make them work. sounds like might not:

as my formula sat it works for all below, except skip rows, goal:
1. edit formula in work "row" at top (row 9), then hit cntrl-c or copy (1
cell)

2. place cursor in top row cell (where work starts/ maybe line 200) same
column
copy formula to all rows below starting where i place my cursor.
(since top row picked is permanent, i put cursor 1 row below that & minus 1
from rows formula).

3. hit alt-"T" (as my shorcut is set), to paste to all rows below that.
(my macro does that, but want to skip rows where column A has a period ".")
suspect your IF condition might do that, or if what don't get yet.. all of
your example

might take me a few days to work that out, unless you see what I mean before
hand, thanks.

my macro works as is, in any column, as I want for dynamic use for a quick
paste tool. copy is done by hand.

i see issues, one because i don't know exactly what you're trying to do and also
because the code seems to overwrite anything you may have in column A.

but. maybe this will give you some ideas.



Sub test() 'alt-T (test)
Dim cell As Range
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim C4 As Long ' this is a number since you're using it as an offset
Set ws = Worksheets("Sheet1")
C4 = ws.Range("C4").Value
'C4 has: =ROW($A$2058)-ROW($A$228)-1
For Each cell In ws.Range("A1:A1000")
If ws.Range("A" & cell.Row).Value = "." Then
'do nothing
Else
ws.Range("A" & cell.Row).Copy ' have no idea what you want to paste
With ws.Range("A" & cell.Row, ws.Range("A" & cell.Row).Offset(C4,
0))
.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormulas, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
' the above code pastes over values in column A.
End With
End If
Next
End Sub

hi, i am trying to paste formulas down a column without having to paste 1
section at a time. although I have the offset working to do that, I need to
skip rows where column A has a period ".' in that column.
the related item i have is not working for that, as below. thanks.

Sub test() 'alt-T (test)

Dim C4 As String
C4 = Range("C4")

'C4 has: =ROW($A$2058)-ROW($A$228)-1


If Me.Cells(.Row, "A").Value = "." Then Exit Sub
'this line incorrect for this purpose
'need to skip all rows that have a period "." in col A

Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.Offset(C4, 0)).Select

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


End Sub
