I am trying to copy some values from a column in one workbook to another:
Workbook 1
Column A
10/02/1990
41
11/01/2017
52
Workbook 2
Column I
10/02/1990
41
11/01/2017
52
If I simply copy my values from column 1 in workbook A and paste them to column I in workbook 2 I get results like so:
Column I
34331
41
121092
52
The formatting is lost/confused by Excel.
So I created a button where users can paste this data using VBA like so:
Sub Paste3()
Dim lastRow As Long
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
lastRow = ActiveSheet.Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
ActiveSheet.Range("H10").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAllUsingSourceTheme, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox "Please Copy Values First."
End Sub
The values keep their formatting. However, the cell format also changes.
What I mean is, the cells on workbook 1 have a black border, and the font is also black and bold.
I want to preserve workbook 2's font and cell border. This is:
Grey border, RGB(191, 191, 191)
Grey Font (RGB 128, 128, 128)
Font Size: 11
Font: Calibri
Essentially it needs to look like the column to the right.
I tried this, but it adds borders to ranges in my spreadsheet it isn't supposed to.
Sub Paste3()
Dim lastRow As Long
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
lastRow = ActiveSheet.Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
ActiveSheet.Range("H10").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAllUsingSourceTheme, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Range("H10:H" & lastRow)
With rng.Borders
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Color = RGB(191, 191, 191)
.Weight = xlThin
.Font
End With
With rng.Font
.TextColor = RGB(128, 128, 128)
.Font.Name = "Calibri"
.Size = 11
.Bold = False
End With
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox "Please Copy Values First."
End Sub
I would rather find an easier way of pasting these values and keeping their format without changing the cell format and font colour etc.
There's a PasteSpecial option for this:
ActiveSheet.Range("H10").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats, _
Operation:= xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
