Every morning, I copy data from an external source and paste into Excel. This gives me work order information from the previous day except for one problem: I do not need the pasted data in column G. Starting from a blank worksheet, I run this code to paste the data:

Sub Paste_Copied_Data()

Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.paste
Range("L18").Select

End Sub


When I then try to remove the pasted data in column G with the following macro, all my data gets deleted instead of just column G:

Sub Macro1()
'
Columns("G:G").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft

End Sub

How do I paste my data and then have the code delete column G without deleting anything else? What am I doing wrong?
 
Thanks for that.
The problem is that you haven't changed the delete line as I showed in post#13

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
