I like to refer to these kinds of procedures asPersonal Macros. We were messing around with the PasteSpecial functionality by trying to Paste Values Only and Paste Column Widths simultaneously. The simple code looked something like below.Sub PasteSpecial_Values_Width()Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteColumnWidthsSelection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValuesEnd SubThe problem was that when we ran

the macro, we kept getting an error message that wasn’t making any sense to me: After spending days trying to figure out why this was occurring, I finally was able to solve my mystery!What Was Causing This Error?In order to run the macro, I first needed to copy a range of cells. This puts the ‘marching ants’ around the selected range, notifying that the content within that range is now posted to the clipboard. I then would select the cell(s) I wanted to paste the copied data to. Once I made my selection I went to the Developer tab in the Ribbon, clicked the Macro button (alternatively you can hit Alt + F8), and then executed my PasteSpecial_Values_Width macro. At this point I received the nasty error dialog box that made no sense to me (pictured above).So why was this happening? Well, I figured out that when you access the Macro Dialog Box (through the Developer tab or hitting Alt +F8) Excel decides to clear the clipboard. In fact, it appears if you access any dialog box in Excel, the marching ants will disappear! This was in turn confusing my ma

In your code, you have x1PasteValues and x1None ... The value after x should be an "L" not a "1" ... xlPasteValues, xlNone –John Bustos Jul 25

The error occurs when I try to do a pastespecial (formulas or values). I am curious if there is an alternative way to paste values or formulas in VBA given that the number of rows in the array is variable (1 to ~100). I have attached the snippet of code below. 'both length and selectionarea are defined error 1004 paste as strings Range("P1").Select 'length is a formula in a cell that counts the length of the table length = ActiveCell.Value selectionarea = "B3:CM" + length Range("B2:CM2").Select Selection.Copy Range(selectionarea).Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormulas, Operation:=xlNone, _ SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False selectionarea = "C2:O" + length Range(selectionarea).Select Selection.Copy Range("BL3").Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False excel vba paste share|improve this question asked Apr 9 '13 at 21:10 user2263642 3628 what is the value of length when you get the error? You should be using & to concatenate strings in VBA. + is not recommended. On what line does it fail? –Brad Apr 9 '13 at 21:18 When it fails (which is not every time), it fails on the pastespecial (either values or formulas). –user2263642 Apr 9 '13 at 21:26 and what is the vaule of length when it fails? –Brad Apr 9 '13 at 21:28 It also is doing the entire copy and paste within the same worksheet and workbook. I will change the + length to & length...I do not think that is the cause of the error though. –user2263642 Apr 9 '13 at 21:28 The paste area must be compatible with the copyed area. That means, if you are copying from B2 to CM
