filling in columns with cells above

[keeper85]

I have the following code that fills in the empty cells with the value of the cells above. This is done for columns B,L,C and G and the reference column used for the length of the range is column F. The code works fine as long as I have the book "Posbook" and the "PosSheet" open, however, it does not work if I view any other sheet. Can someone explain me why this is the case? I suspect that it has something to do with the Offset property. Can someone modify me this code so that PosBook does not always have to be the active sheet in order to work? Thanks!

On Error Resume Next
    With Workbooks(PosBook).Worksheets(PosSheet)
        .Range("f5", Range("f" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Offset(, -4).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
        .Range("b5:b" & [f65536].End(xlUp).Row).Copy
        .Range("B5").PasteSpecial (xlPasteAll)
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
        .Range("f5", Range("f" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Offset(, 6).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
        .Range("l5:l" & [f65536].End(xlUp).Row).Copy
        .Range("L5").PasteSpecial (xlPasteAll)
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
        .Range("f5", Range("f" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Offset(, -3).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
        .Range("c5:c" & [f65536].End(xlUp).Row).Copy
        .Range("c5").PasteSpecial (xlPasteAll)
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
        .Range("f5", Range("f" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Offset(, 1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
        .Range("g5:g" & [f65536].End(xlUp).Row).Copy
        .Range("g5").PasteSpecial (xlPasteAll)
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
    End With

I would say your "Rows.Count" references need to have the Worksheet name included.
If you are on a worksheet other than the one you want to copy/paste, then you need the worksheet name to be included or referenced.

Thanks for your input, John, however, it does not solve the problem. Do you have any other suggestions?

I finally figured it out. Actually you were almost correct (and on the right path. Here is the corrected code:

On Error Resume Next
    With Workbooks(PosBook).Worksheets(PosSheet)
        .Range("f5", .Range("f" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Offset(, -4).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
        .Range("b5:b" & [f65536].End(xlUp).Row).Copy
        .Range("B5").PasteSpecial (xlPasteAll)
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
        .Range("f5", .Range("f" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Offset(, 6).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
        .Range("l5:l" & [f65536].End(xlUp).Row).Copy
        .Range("L5").PasteSpecial (xlPasteAll)
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
        .Range("f5", .Range("f" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Offset(, -3).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
        .Range("c5:c" & [f65536].End(xlUp).Row).Copy
        .Range("c5").PasteSpecial (xlPasteAll)
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
        .Range("f5", .Range("f" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Offset(, 1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
        .Range("g5:g" & [f65536].End(xlUp).Row).Copy
        .Range("g5").PasteSpecial (xlPasteAll)
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
    End With
