Excel – How to copy cells to last row and paste to another sheet

excelvba

I have an ActiveSheet script, in where I take raw data move the data to rows Q:V. I have a VBA script that runs and shows where the last row is, in this case the last row is 77.

lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "Q").End(xlUp).Row

I want to have it where it takes from Q to V last row, copy, and paste it into sheet 1…

I am guessing it will look like this, but I want to verify here first… since my normal sites I go to are down for maintenance for some reason.

Sub test()
         Dim wsPOD As Worksheet
    Dim wsPOT As Worksheet
    Dim wsPOA As Worksheet
    Dim cel As Range
    Dim lastrow As Long, i As Long, Er As Long

    Set wsPOD = Sheets("PO Data")
    Set wsPOT = Sheets("PO Tracking")
    Set wsPOA = Sheets("PO Archive")

        With ActiveSheet
            .AutoFilterMode = False
            Intersect(.UsedRange, .Columns("A")).Cut .Range("Q1")
            Intersect(.UsedRange, .Columns("D")).Cut .Range("R1")
            Intersect(.UsedRange, .Columns("C")).Cut .Range("S1")
            Intersect(.UsedRange, .Columns("B")).Cut .Range("T1")
            Intersect(.UsedRange, .Columns("G")).Cut .Range("U1")
            Intersect(.UsedRange, .Columns("F")).Cut .Range("V1")
            lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "N").End(xlUp).Row
            Intersect (.UsedRange.Range("Q:V" & lastrow).Copy)
            Intersect (wsPOT.Range("B3:H" & lastrow).PasteSpecialxlPasteFormats)
         End With
End Sub

This obviously doesn't work, if someone can help me it be appreciated.

Best Answer

Is this what you are trying>

 With ActiveSheet
    .AutoFilterMode = False
    '
    '~~> Rest of the code
    '
    lastRow = .Range("N" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    .Range("Q1:V" & lastRow).Copy
    wsPOT.Range("B3").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
    SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
 End With

xlPasteFormats will only paste the formats and not the value. If you want to paste value then change xlPasteFormats to xlPasteValues

C# – How to create an Excel (.XLS and .XLSX) file in C# without installing Microsoft Office

You can use a library called ExcelLibrary. It's a free, open source library posted on Google Code:

This looks to be a port of the PHP ExcelWriter that you mentioned above. It will not write to the new .xlsx format yet, but they are working on adding that functionality in.

It's very simple, small and easy to use. Plus it has a DataSetHelper that lets you use DataSets and DataTables to easily work with Excel data.

ExcelLibrary seems to still only work for the older Excel format (.xls files), but may be adding support in the future for newer 2007/2010 formats.

You can also use EPPlus, which works only for Excel 2007/2010 format files (.xlsx files). There's also NPOI which works with both.

There are a few known bugs with each library as noted in the comments. In all, EPPlus seems to be the best choice as time goes on. It seems to be more actively updated and documented as well.

Also, as noted by @АртёмЦарионов below, EPPlus has support for Pivot Tables and ExcelLibrary may have some support (Pivot table issue in ExcelLibrary)

Here are a couple links for quick reference:
ExcelLibrary - GNU Lesser GPL
EPPlus - GNU (LGPL) - No longer maintained
EPPlus 5 - Polyform Noncommercial - Starting May 2020
NPOI - Apache License

Here some example code for ExcelLibrary:

Here is an example taking data from a database and creating a workbook from it. Note that the ExcelLibrary code is the single line at the bottom:

//Create the data set and table
DataSet ds = new DataSet("New_DataSet");
DataTable dt = new DataTable("New_DataTable");

//Set the locale for each
ds.Locale = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
dt.Locale = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;

//Open a DB connection (in this example with OleDB)
OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(dbConnectionString);
con.Open();

//Create a query and fill the data table with the data from the DB
string sql = "SELECT Whatever FROM MyDBTable;";
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(sql, con);
OleDbDataAdapter adptr = new OleDbDataAdapter();

adptr.SelectCommand = cmd;
adptr.Fill(dt);
con.Close();

//Add the table to the data set
ds.Tables.Add(dt);

//Here's the easy part. Create the Excel worksheet from the data set
ExcelLibrary.DataSetHelper.CreateWorkbook("MyExcelFile.xls", ds);

Creating the Excel file is as easy as that. You can also manually create Excel files, but the above functionality is what really impressed me.
