PasteSpecial error
 

Hi
This line of code brings up a "Compile error" - "Expected: end of statement"
with Paste highlighted,
what end of statement is it expecting i think I've tried them all.

ActiveCell.Offset(-4, -1).Resize(1, 29).Copy Destination:=ActiveCell.Offset _
(-4, -1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats

From previous posts I've read it appears it's best to split these into 2
lines or place in a "With - End With.
Any advice very much appreciated.
I'm trying to tidy up my code and clear formulas not required three rows
back as I add new data to the sheet.

Thank you

.Resize(1, 29).Copy
.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats
End With

PasteSpecial error
 

In the copy command you can not use PasteSpecial.
So the complier is expecting end of satement before the .PasteSpecial
part of your code.

You need to break it in to two lines as under:

ActiveCell.Offset(-4, -1).Resize(1, 29).Copy
ActiveCell.Offset(-4, -1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats

Thank you Sharad
Your comments comfirmed what I was slowly finding out.
Copy, Destination and Pastespecial don't go together in one line.

Seasons greatings and have a happy New Year 2005.
