Hi all,

I am running into problems with the concatenate/ filling funtion in my macro.

I am combining two cells and then the formula should autofill until my last row. I am using this succesfully with other formulas, but concatenate does not seem to want to do it.
Getting error message: "Autofill method of range class failed"
Am I missing something really obvious?

Thanks a lot

****************

Range("AT2").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("AT2:AT" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row), Type:=xlFillDefault
Range("AT7").Select

**********************

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Code:
Range("AT2").Select 
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("AT2:AT" & activesheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row), Type:=xlFillDefault 
Range("AT7").Select

cells is an object of worksheet.

Hope it helps.

Thanks, I tried and changed my code to this, but i still get the autofill range error as before...


Range("A2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=CONCATENATE(RC[1],RC[16])"

Range("A2").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("A2:A" & ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row), Type:=xlFillDefault
Range("A7").Select


Any ideas?
Thanks

Have you tried not using autofill?
Code:
Range("A2:A" & ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row).FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1] &RC[16]"

Thanks, I think we are getting a bit closer to a solution. I tried this:


Range("A2:A" & ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row).FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1] &RC[16]"


Now I am not getting any error messages, but the formula is only inserted in cell A2, not in all cells in column A...

Thanks in advance for some more ideas

Perhaps you should be looking for the last row in another column?

Thanks a lot for that hint :). I cannot believe I didnt spot that myself :oops:

Works fine now with

Range("A2:A" & ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row).FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1] &RC[16]"

Code:
[A2].Resize([B65536].End(xlUp).Row - 1, 1) = "=RC[1] &RC[16]"

Best Regards
