Copying Values Using Macro

[MikeG]

I have a macro and I simply want to copy the values from the "Current_Parts" range, which is in another worksheet and to paste it into the "Paste_Area1" range which is in the current worksheet and is of the same shape and size.

I thought I could do it as easy as in the Range("Paste_Area1") = Sheets("Quotes Database").Range("Current_Parts") line below, but it does not work.



Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Target.Address(False, False) = "D5" Then


Range("Paste_Area1") = Sheets("Quotes Database").Range("Current_Parts")


End If

End Sub


Can anyone help? Do I need to use a PasteValues type command?

Thanks,

MikeG

Put the Current_Parts Range values into an array as follows :

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    Dim RangeArray As Variant

    If Target.Address(False, False) = "D5" Then
    
        RangeArray = Sheets("Quotes Database").Range("Current_Parts")
        Range("Paste_Area1") = RangeArray
    
    
    End If

End Sub

Hello Jaafar,

Is there a reason why you use the RangeArray? Why not simply:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.Address(False, False) = "D5" Then _
        Range("Paste_Area1") = Sheets("Quotes Database").Range("Current_Parts")
End Sub

or even

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.Address(0,0) = "D5" Then [Paste_Area1] = [Quotes Database!Current_Parts]
End Sub

wigi.

That would'nt work because the line :

Sheets("Quotes Database").Range("Current_Parts")

returns a Range object not an array of values.

Putting the Range into an intermediary variant array coerces the result into an array of values.


Alternatively, one could do the same using the Value Property of the Range object as follows :

Range("Paste_Area1") = Sheets("Quotes Database").Range("Current_Parts")[COLOR=Red][B].Value[/B][/COLOR]

Indeed, I had to insert the .Value, you were right.
