I found this today on a Youtube turorial and it would save me sooooo much time if I could get it work but Im struggling.

Im using this code to sort data from 2 rows into a single row ready to be transferred to a different sheet.
At the moment, once this has run through its macro, it ends with Cut, then I go another sheet with almost the last row on another sheet showing and Paste and with it not being a full row in view, as soon as I paste, it moves up a line so Im always pasting into an empty row.

I do this every day and on some days there can be a many as 300 lines of data to copy
and it takes a lot of time.

The issue at the moment is I keep getting a Complile Error: Invalid use or property

Heres the code I found that I was hoping would speed it up, if I can utilise this and make it repeat until theres no data left to sort it would be a massive help

Sub Macro()
'
' Macro
'

Dim wsCopy As Worksheet
Dim wsDest As Worksheet
Dim lCopyLastRow As Long
Dim lDestLastRow As Long

'Set variables for copy and destination sheets
Set wsCopy = Workbooks("SDLsortCONFOR_Backup.xlsm").Worksheets("NEWSORT")
Set wsDest = Workbooks("SDLsortCONFOR_Backup.xlsm").Worksheets("Formatting")

'1. Find last used row in the copy range based on data in column A
lCopyLastRow = wsCopy.Cells(wsCopy.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

'2. Find first blank row in the destination range based on data in column A
'Offset property moves down 1 row
lDestLastRow = wsDest.Cells(wsDest.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1).Row

'3. Copy & Paste Data
wsCopy.Range("A2:A" & lCopyLastRow).Copy
wsDest.Range ("A" & lDestLastRow)


End Sub



Im getting the error highlighting the .Range part of wsDest.Range at the end of the code.

Im trying to learnt but this is messing with my head, Im guessing this is childsplay level stuff

Im using Excel 2019

Many thanks
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
These two lines of code:
VBA Code:
wsCopy.Range("A2:A" & lCopyLastRow).Copy
wsDest.Range ("A" & lDestLastRow)
are supposed to be written, like this (on a sigle line):
Code:
wsCopy.Range("A2:A" & lCopyLastRow).Copy wsDest.Range ("A" & lDestLastRow)

It was something from the childsplay locker :rolleyes:

Cant get it working still tough although it does something now, thank you,
ill keep going with it now im past that stumbling block

All I can now suggest is to do some debugging. Manually launch your macro with F8 from vbe panel and then keep going on stepping through it with F8. Meanwhile, check the contents of the variables and see if their momentary value is compatible with what your macro should be doing. You can activate Locals variable panel to monitor. LINK Also using Immediate panel could be very helpful.

Im pretty certain this macro is no good for what I need.
I need to run a macro I recorded which cuts and pastes 2 rows of data into a single row, deletes the 2 source rows so the next line of data is ready and then copy the single row into another worksheet and repeat until all the source data has beeen used.
When I run my macro to sort the first single row of data and then run this Copy and paste macro, It copies my first row that I sorted and then every row in its origonal format. Thats no good.
Thanks for your help

So I went a different way when I found something that might work.
It does work but oh my god its so slow. I still cant get over how long a simple cut and paste can take in a macro.

Dont know if any of this code is slowing me down and not needed but it works.
I can only run this in bite sizes, have been doing 20 rows of data output before copy and pasting the 20 lines to another wookbook but before this code I was doing 1 line of data at a time.

Heres the code I managed to get working, any advice on tidying this up would be cool, I did leave all the unsused code from the vba I have used intact, just in case and my Macro is titled oakland jim because thats who's code I adapted, though I'd best give him some credit lol, thanks Jim

I have no idea on how your sheet data is structured but have a try with this cut down version of your macro.
There is no need to use .Select then .Selection on separated lines, it only wastes time.
Then you should use function Application.ScreenUpdating to avoid even more waste of time so I added these in your macro LOOP_COUNT.
Hope I didn't mess up your Copy/Cut/Paste ranges while cutting down, please check.

Thank you soooooo much, this works absolutely perfect, even the cut/copy/paste ranges are spot on.
I wasnt even planning on trying to do this when I started but now it is done it will save me a lot of time, I cannot thank you enough
