Hello!


I'm trying to write a simple macro that will delete few rows, than sort by values from one of columns and than delete few rows below some value.

I am using the strings of the code just strictly from "record macro" function.

It does have codes like

rows("1:6").Select

or

Columns("H:H").Select

But when I try to apply the macro with those strings on another excel file, VBA give error "selection wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment" in that place!


I've tried everything! What's wrong? Please, help me)


Here is an example of whole macro:



Sub sort4()
'
' sort4 ??????
'

'
Dim zz As String
zz = ActiveSheet.Name
rows("1:6").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
Range("I1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "diff"
Columns("H:H").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(zz).Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(zz).Sort.SortFields.Add Key:= _
Range("H1"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(zz).Sort
.SetRange Range("A2:I19501")
.Header = xlNo
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
rows("1527:19495").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
Range("Q1519").Select
Range("I2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[-7]-RC[-4]"
Range("I2").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("I2:I1526"), Type:=xlFillDefault
Range("I2:I1526").Select
ActiveSheet.Calculate
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(zz).Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(zz).Sort.SortFields.Add Key:= _
Range("I2"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(zz).Sort
.SetRange Range("A2:I1526")
.Header = xlNo
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
End Sub



Thank you!
