Hi guys,
I am encountered a problem today while I am using VBA for excel. I was trying to Copy the column(8) and do paste link. Here is the code:

Code:
Sub testStatus()
      Dim name As String
      Dim leftLocation As String    ' initial variables
      
      Columns(8).Select
      Columns(8).Copy                ' select and copy the column
      name = ActiveSheet.name
      Range("insertCol").EntireColumn.Insert   ' insert a blank column and paste the column that select and copy before
      Range("insertCol").Select
      leftLocation = name
      ActiveCell.Offset(0,-1).Value = leftLocation
End Sub

Here is the problem:
"Range("insertCol").EntireColumn.Insert" - this line of code will insert a blank column and paste the column that select and copy before. What should I do to stop the 'paste' step and do that later. Because I want to use "ActiveSheet.Paste Link:=Range" somewhere in the code, by using paste link method to paste the column. Can anybody help me please? Thank you!

Hiya
You need to insert the new column before you copy
