Please help as I am still learning vba and I don't know how to debug code yet. This is the code I have written:

Code:
Sub cmdCopy_Click()


Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Modified  10/25/2018  10:15:34 PM  EDT

Dim Lastrow As Long
Dim Combo As String

    Combo = Worksheets("Home").Range("Q5")
    Lastrow = Sheets("Combo").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row + 1
    Worksheets("Home").Range("a5:c5").copy


    With Worksheets("Combo").Cells(Lastrow, 1)
        .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
        .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
    End With
        
    Lastrow = Sheets("Combo").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
    Worksheets("Home").Range("j5").copy
    Worksheets("Combo").Cells(Lastrow, 4).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues

Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

I have a spreadsheet to record yearly costings that has a home tabe with a table with one row and once the values are entered for that costing, it performs some calculations to arrive at a figure after referencing a heap of information in the background. Then a button is clicked and it copies the data to the bottom of the appropriate month worksheet.

There is a worksheet for every month of the year and the format for the name of the worksheet is for instance, July2018, August2018 etc.

A5:C5 and J5 contains the info I have to copy.
The date is in A5. Q5 has this formula: =CONCATENATE(O5,P5) P5 formula: =TEXT(A5, "yyyy") O5 formula: =TEXT(A5, "mmmm").
Theoretically this should work I thought but I don't know how to reference the combo variable in a sheet reference, or if you even can. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Try removing the quotes in

Code:
Sheets("Combo")
and
Code:
Worksheets("Combo")

I removed the quotes and added worksheet in front and now my code looks like this
Code:
Sub cmdCopy_Click()


Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Modified  10/25/2018  10:15:34 PM  EDT

Dim Lastrow As Long
Dim Combo As String

    Combo = Worksheets("Home").Range("Q5")
    Lastrow = Worksheets(Combo).Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row + 1
    Worksheets("Home").Range("a5:c5").copy


    With Worksheets(Combo).Cells(Lastrow, 1)
        .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
        .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
    End With
        
    Lastrow = Sheets(Combo).Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
    Worksheets("Home").Range("j5").copy
    Worksheets("July2018").Cells(Lastrow, 4).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues

Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

It appears to work but it only copies A5:C5 and doesn't copy J5. How should I change it to copy J5 into the cell alongside of where C5 is copied to?

Are you sure that

Code:
    Lastrow = Sheets(Combo).Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
    Worksheets("Home").Range("j5").copy
    Worksheets("July2018").Cells(Lastrow, 4).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues

shouldn't be

Code:
    Lastrow = [COLOR="#FF0000"]Worksheets("July2018")[/COLOR].Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
    Worksheets("Home").Range("j5").copy
    Worksheets("July2018").Cells(Lastrow, 4).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues

Please ignore this post as thinking about it possibly not.

I found it, I changed the "July2018" in the 3rd last line of code to combo.

I have just been told that the reporting month goes from between the 26th of the previous month to the 25th of the current month. I am not sure what to do to differentiate what month the costing must go in. Could someone help me please?
