copy/paste
 

hi all,

I want to know if the below if possible.

When copyng multiple cell ranges from one sheet/book to another. is it
possible to copy more than more cell range at a time from the primary
to the secondary ??

This would cut out the need for moving between the same sheets many
times.

Good afternoon Ceemo

Excel will, to a degree, perform copying from a multiple selection –
that is where ctrl is held down while the user selects different areas
of the spreadsheet. In some cases the user will receive the error
message “That command cannot be used on multiple selections”.
However, if the selection to be copied includes the same cells from a
number of rows (eg. A1:A4 and C1:C4), or the same cells from a number
of columns (eg. A1:C1 and A4:C4), then it will work – but with two
peculiar side effects : any formulae copied will be pasted as values,
and any spaces included in the selection will disappear. This does not
appear to be documented in the help files.

However, I have a free add-in available upon request that will, amongst
other things, copy and paste multile ranges (across workbooks if
required) which has none of the above side effects. If you require
this, please e-mail me.

Regards

DominicB

upon reading the reply again i see what you mean. holding down ctrl will
select and copy accross multi cells. However what im looking for is a
way i can copy multi cells and paste them where i want not where they
originaly appear on the sheet


examle

sheet1 copy1 range("A1:D4")
sheet1 copy2 range("F3:F7")

sheet2 range("j3").select
paste copy1

sheets3 range("g1")
paste copy2

Hi Ceemo

It works on all versions of excel from XL97 onwards, and you paste the
range as a "single unit", not as a series of units, if you see what I
mean. I've just seen your e-mail and will you send you the file in a
couple of minutes.

Hi Ceemo

I would say no ...

BUT

... I use XL2000 at work and it has a toolbar called "clipboard" whic
allows me to copy 12 individual ranges to it to paste where and when
please, and I have XL2003 at home which doesn't have this toolbar.
don't know if anyone can spread any light on this "clipboard
toolbar...?

HTH

Dominic
