Copy to next blank row
 

Hi

I have a few cells of data which I need to copy to the next blank row of
another sheet. I can find the row number required by doing this :

Dim Rownumber As Integer
If Range("A20").Value = "" Then Rownumber = 20
If Range("A19").Value = "" Then Rownumber = 19
If Range("A18").Value = "" Then Rownumber = 18
If Range("A17").Value = "" Then Rownumber = 17
If Range("A16").Value = "" Then Rownumber = 16

But I am then having problems with defining the destination to copy to. I
have tried using :

Worksheets("CURRENT").Range("B2").Copy _
Destination:=Worksheets("Balance Order Form").Cells(2, Rownumber)

but I keep getting Runtime Error '1004 ' Application defined or object
defined error, and I don't know what that means or how I should get round it.

Can someone help? Many thanks

Copy to next blank row
 

I'd check to see what RowNumber was right before the copy portion:

msgbox rownumber

If A16:A20 is all filled in, then what should happen?

Copy to next blank row
 

It worked in my test with empty cells in the range A16:A20. But you get the
error if they all have data as rownumber is not set.

Copy to next blank row
 

Thanks for suggestions. I have checked rownumber prior to attempting the
copy, and by giving rownumber an initial value I have found that rownumber is
not getting changed by any of the if...then code - but I can't see why, as
column A is totally blank at present.

I have also got a line which craps out of the macro with an error message
for the user if all the available rows are already filled - that bit at least
works OK!!!

Also the copying is not happening even when I give rownumber a value
manually although there is no error coming up.

I'm not a VB expert by any means so getting horribly confused by all this,
anyone got any further ideas?

Copy to next blank row
 

try it this way

Dim Rownumber As Integer
If Trim(Range("A20").Value) = "" Then Rownumber = 20
If Trim(Range("A19").Value) = "" Then Rownumber = 19
If Trim(Range("A18").Value) = "" Then Rownumber = 18
If Trim(Range("A17").Value) = "" Then Rownumber = 17
If Trim(Range("A16").Value) = "" Then Rownumber = 16

Also, this assumes the activesheet is the sheet you are checking. However,
you use the information to copy to a specific sheet, so perhaps you just
need


Dim Rownumber As Integer
With Worksheets("Balance Order Form")
If .Range("A20").Value = "" Then Rownumber = 20
If .Range("A19").Value = "" Then Rownumber = 19
If .Range("A18").Value = "" Then Rownumber = 18
If .Range("A17").Value = "" Then Rownumber = 17
If .Range("A16").Value = "" Then Rownumber = 16
End With

spotting a couple of stupid errors I made has got me sorted. Much appreciated
gentlemen.
