Macro to Copy & Paste in backgorund

Alarmbloke · 01-05-2006, 12:10 PM

Hello again,

I currently have a few macros which copy and paste data from one sheet to
another.

When the run you see the sheets flicking between each other as the macro
selects the active sheet, copies the selected range, then selects the
destination sheet pastes etc etc.

This all works as it should but is there a way of doing it in the background
whilst the user just sees the main input sheet and not flicking pages.

This would seriously help with saving my eye sight

Messy(Macro) as below

Sub transfer()
'
' transfer Macro
'
'

'
Range("H11").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Quote").Select
Range("B48:M48").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("H12").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Quote").Select
Range("B50:M50").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("H13").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Quote").Select
Range("B51:M51").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("H14").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Quote").Select
Range("B52:M52").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Sheets("Sheet1").Select

Range("B56").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Sheets("Quote").Select
Range("N47:U47").Select

End Sub

hi,

could you copy the range H12:H18 and paste it into your other cells on the
Quote sheet in one job lot? are the cells on quote book B**:M** merged cells?

regs,

Hi,

Yes B**:M** are merged cells

Does that complicate matters??

Should also add that the data that is being copied doesnt stay the same all
the time, this is to say I only need a snapshot of the data rather than using
=Sheet1!H12 for example which I assume would alter the data automatically if
it changes.
Sorry to complicate matters

To avoid flickering:

Application.Screenupdating = False
Your code
Application.Screenupdating = True

Hi,

You could use this:

Sub Transfer()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Sheets("Quote").Select

Range("H11").Select
Ranger1 = ActiveCell.Value
Range("H12").Select
Ranger2 = ActiveCell.Value
Range("H13").Select
Ranger3 = ActiveCell.Value
Range("H14").Select
Ranger4 = ActiveCell.Value
Range("H15").Select
Ranger5 = ActiveCell.Value
Range("H16").Select
Ranger6 = ActiveCell.Value
Range("H17").Select
Ranger7 = ActiveCell.Value
Range("H18").Select
Ranger8 = ActiveCell.Value

Range("Sheet1!B48").Value = Ranger1
Range("Sheet1!B50").Value = Ranger2
Range("Sheet1!B51").Value = Ranger3
Range("Sheet1!B52").Value = Ranger4
Range("Sheet1!B53").Value = Ranger5
Range("Sheet1!B54").Value = Ranger6
Range("Sheet1!B55").Value = Ranger7
Range("Sheet1!B56").Value = Ranger8

Sheets("Quote").Select
Range("N47:U47").Select

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

This nests all of the required information from "Quote" and places it into
"Sheet1".
there is no need for pastespecials as it is placing the data Value only and
not a path.

the screen does not change so the info is transfers quickly in the
background in 1 movement rather than 9.

Hope it helps.
