Transfer macro
I am a metrologist and use an Excel spreadsheet to enter
six data items that calculate various weight corrections, air density, etc. I then need to transfer 5 data items from that spreadsheet to another sheet in the same workbook aligned in a row. After that, I go back to the main spreadsheet and enter new data for the next weight I test and do the same thing, except that the new set of data should be in the row immediately underneath the previous row. I have recorded a macro which does that, using copy, then paste, for the 5 items. However when I enter the next set of data and hit the transfer macro, it just writes over the first set of data. How can I get it to skip a line and enter a new line of data? After I transfer all the data I copy it into a Word document that has our labs header. TIA Steve |

Steve,
First calculate the last used row on the second sheet cLastRow = Worksheet("Sheet2").Cells(Rows.Count,"A").End(xlUp ).Row then change the paste code to use that value +1. Foir instance, if your code looks like Ramge("A1:A5").Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1") change this to Ramge("A1:A5").Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A" & cLastRow+1) -- HTH Bob Phillips ... looking out across Poole Harbour to the Purbecks (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Steve Schultz" wrote in message ...

This is not a critique, I just want to know
Bob, is there a reason why you use: cLastRow = Cells(Rows.Count,"A").End(xlUp).Ro instead of: cLastRow = Cells.End(xlDown).Row When they seem to return the same value I notice you use this style in all your coding Is there something inherently better about End(xlUp). ----- Bob Phillips wrote: ---- Steve First calculate the last used row on the second shee cLastRow = Worksheet("Sheet2").Cells(Rows.Count,"A").End(xlUp ).Ro then change the paste code to use that value +1.

Chris,
Rather than just tell you the answer, try this example, and you should see why. Fill cells in column A like so A1:1 A2:2 A10:3 note, nothing in A3:A9 Then run the 2 pieces of code, and see what you get. -- HTH Bob Phillips ... looking out across Poole Harbour to the Purbecks (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "chris" wrote in message ...

Bob Thanks loads! It works just fine, except the very first entry gets entered twice. I can just delete that line before I cut and paste to Word. Thanks again, Steve *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it! |
