Hi all,

i've set up the below macro to force anything pasted in a specific range of cells to only paste the values. This works fine when pasting form the same spreadsheet or from Word however if I try to paste anything from an external website/program it comes up with this error: PasteSpecial method of range class failed.

Sub PasteasValue()
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
End Sub

Any ideas how I can fix that?

I'd be very grateful for you help
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Does this work?

VBA Code:
Selection.PasteSpecial Format:="Unicode Text", Link:=False, _
