Copy & paste through a selection

[AlexVLZ]

Hello all,

First post here!

I am leaning VBA through trial and error, and I need some guidance.

Requirements:

• Tab A (input): a fix list of countries of 4 (Column A: Spain, UK, USA, Italy)
• Tab B (input): a variable table of data.
• Tab C (output): Combine data from Tab A and B. I need to have a table of data (column B) for each country (column A). The code will need to do this for each country in Tab A.

I can manage to copy&paste the data correctly for Spain, but I cannot get the VBA to select the next country from the Tab A list...take it to Tab C and then paste the table (Table from Tab B) next to it.... and so on

MANY THANKS FOR THE HELP!

Alex

Hello,

Does this work as expected?

Sub combined()
    With Sheets("A")
        For MY_A_ROWS = 1 To .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
            MY_A = .Range("A" & MY_A_ROWS).Value
        With Sheets("B")
            For MY_B_ROWS = 1 To .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
                MY_AB = MY_A & .Range("A" & MY_A_ROWS).Value
                Sheets("C").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value = MY_AB
            Next MY_B_ROWS
        End With
        Next MY_A_ROWS
    End With
End Sub

Have assumed tab names are A, B and C. Change as required.

When you say you have TAB A, B & C are these 3 separate sheets, or do you have 1 input sheet with countries in column A & data in col B?

Re: Desperate noob: Copy&paste through a selection

wow!! Almost!! But in Sheet A in Column A and Data in Column B

Re: Desperate noob: Copy&paste through a selection

Yes, with Tabs I mean different sheets. So Sheet A, B and C. So the purpose is to combine the first two in the second. The previous reply is a very good one, but he concatenated the A and B, when I need these in separate columns. Still, pretty good.

Re: Desperate noob: Copy&paste through a selection

Sorry my friend for making you waste your time. Please ignore my previous post.

The VBA gave me this result:

EspañaAAAA

EspañaAAAA

EspañaAAAA

EspañaAAAA

EcuadorBBBB

EcuadorBBBB

EcuadorBBBB

EcuadorBBBB

FranciaCCCC

FranciaCCCC

FranciaCCCC

FranciaCCCC

<tbody>
</tbody>

Which is close to what I need. Whis is:

España AAAA España BBBB España CCCC España DDDD Ecuador AAAA Ecuador BBBB Ecuador CCCC Ecuador DDDD Francia AAAA Francia BBBB Francia CCCC Francia DDDD <tbody> </tbody>

<colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

Many thanks

How about

Sub AlexVLZ()
   Dim RngB As Range, Cl As Range
   
   With Sheets("B")
      Set RngB = .Range("B2", .Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
   End With
   RngB.Copy Sheets("C").Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Resize(RngB.Count * 4)
   With Sheets("A")
      For Each Cl In .Range("A2", .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
         Cl.Copy Sheets("C").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Resize(1 * RngB.Count)
      Next Cl
   End With
End Sub

Hmmm not quite. I got this far with my code below.

MY ERRORS:
1) The Data i correctly getting pasted in column B, but from cell B2. I want it to be from B1 down .
2) The country list is getting copied across, but not repeated in sequence --because i dont know how to write down that bit of the code.

Sub MACRO()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'COPY&PASTE DATA IN RESULTS
        Dim x As Integer
        For x = 1 To 4
            Dim copySheet As Worksheet
            Dim pasteSheet As Worksheet
            Worksheets("Resultado").Activate
            Set copySheet = Worksheets("Datos")
            Set pasteSheet = Worksheets("Resultado")
            Range("A" & (ActiveCell.Row)).Select
            copySheet.Range("A1:A4").Copy
            pasteSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
            ActiveSheet.Cells(ActiveSheet.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Activate
            
        Next x

'INSERT COLUMN

Columns("A:A").Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove

'COPY&PASTE COUNTRY RESULT

    Dim i As Integer
    For i = 1 To 4
    
        Sheets("País").Select
        Range("A1:A4").Select
        Selection.Copy
        Sheets("Resultado").Select
        Range("A1:A1").Select
        ActiveSheet.Paste
    Next i
        
Worksheets("Resultado").Activate

End Sub

Did you try the code I suggested?

Re: Desperate noob: Copy&paste through a selection

Happy new year!

Yes, I tried it. The results were:

1) Your code did repeat the countries twice each, which is VERY close to what I need in column A. How did you code it to repeat twice? As what I need is that each country get repeated 5 times (one per line of data in column B). The data coming from Sheet A and B can be variable, sometimes 5 lines or 5000 lines.

2) Column B came out empty. In theory there should be a block of data of 5 lines per country listed in column A.

Column A	Column B
España	(empty)
España	(empty)
Ecuador	(empty)
Ecuador	(empty)
Francia	(empty)
Francia	(empty)
....
