This is my first substantial excel macro... so far, things are going
well, but I'm confused about pasting values only...

I've been using this expression to cut and paste, which works fine.
CopySheet.Range(Hs).Copy Destination:= PasteSheet.Cells(BottomRow, 1)
but then realized that I need to paste the values only.

I tried using
CopySheet.Range(Hs).Value = PasteSheet.Cells(BottomRow, 1).Value
which doesn't work, presumably because I'm just giving it the starting
cell, rather than a range.

I guess that I can use separate Copy and PasteSpecial instructions, but
from everything I've read on this group, I should try to avoid this.
I'm not sure how to go about giving it a paste range, though, because
this will change each time through a loop.

I've put the full code below, if it will help. I'd certainly appreciate
any other suggestions that anyone notices.

Thanks,
mike

Mike,

You just had it backwards - as long as your ranges are the same size:

PasteSheet.Cells(BottomRow, 1).Value = CopySheet.Range(Hs).Value

Ah, of course. That explains all the blank ranges in my worksheet...

Thanks a bunch.

Actually, though, I realize that this isn't quite what I need. The
problem is that I don't necessarily know how long the range is going to
be. BottomRow is the row index of the first cell where I want to paste
the new values. Can I easily specify to go from BottomRow to BottomRow
+ Range(Hs).Rows.Count ?

I guess it might be easier to just copy and paste special. but it seems
so much cleaner to not do that.

Thanks again,

Moose,

PasteSheet.Cells(BottomRow, 1).Resize(Range(Hs).Rows.Count).Value = CopySheet.Range(Hs).Value

should work...
