Macro - Copy and Paste repeatedly skipping cells
Hi all,
I am trying to write a macro that will start at a specified cell, copy that cell and paste it into the next 5 cells below it. It then needs to move down 2 cells from the last pasted cell (or 8 cells from the first cell) and strat the process all over again. This will need to repeat for 3000 to 4000 rows (the number will vary by week). I can get this to work on the first group of cells. I am having trouble with the step where it skips down to the next set of data and repeats again. This is what I have so far: Sub CopyPaste() ' ' CopyPaste Macro ' Macro recorded 1/4/2007 by pausor ' ' Range("A7").Select Selection.Copy Range("A8:A12").Select ActiveSheet.Paste Range("A12").Select End Sub Admittedly not very fancy and the absolute referencing is also killing me on this one. Can someone point me in the right direction? |

Perhaps one formulas play which could also deliver it in an adjacent
col .. Assuming the required repetitive operation is to start in A7 down, Place in B7: =IF(OR(MOD(ROW(A1)-1,8)={6,7}),"",OFFSET(INDIRECT("A"&INT((ROW(A1)-1)/8)*8+7),,)) Copy B7 down as far as required Col B should return the desired repetitive "copy-paste-skip" results Then just copy col B to overwrite col A with a paste special as values -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- wrote: Hi all, I am trying to write a macro that will start at a specified cell, copy that cell and paste it into the next 5 cells below it.

I thought that there might be existing data that should be touched (the reason
for skipping a couple of rows). Max wrote: Perhaps one formulas play which could also deliver it in an adjacent col ..

Then perhaps just a slight tweak ..
In B7, copied down: =IF(OR(MOD(ROW(A1)-1,8)={6,7}),A7,OFFSET(INDIRECT("A"&INT((ROW(A1)-1)/8)*8+7),,)) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...

Dave,
Thanks for the help. It worked perfectly.
