    pastespecial method of worksheet class failed

    Hi
    I am actually trying to copy named ranges (have 10 different named range sections) to a new csv file for each of the named range.

    Instead of copying the formula forma, I want to copy just the values of the named range.

    So here is my macro in MODULE :-

    Re: pastespecial method of worksheet class failed

    Pasting bunch of data on a limited range (Named Range) may be the root cause for this issue

    Just select the first cell of that named range and paste so that the data get pasted easily

    Try like this...

    Re: pastespecial method of worksheet class failed

    ACtually, it works if put in the actual range and not mention the DEFINE NAME, as follows :-

    I can live with the above approach by defining the range values and not names,

    However whenever I try to hit SAVE button > it runs the macro successfully but also crashes the EXCEL (giving me option to restart Excel)...

    whats causing this ?

    $B$39:$O$74 refers to a named range? What is the name of that named range?

    And also after implementing the changes you mentioned

    It is now not copying the data in the whole range but jst the first cell.

    will I need to define the range instead of using .Cells(1) place ?

    Re: pastespecial method of worksheet class failed

    Can you tell me the difference in using complete Range in the syntax v/s using Range.Cells(1) approach ?

    What does or will this code "range.cells(1)" do ?

    Assume that you selected 15 cells A1:C5 and done the copy and you write code and ask excel to paste the data in C2:C3.

    In A1:C5 there is 15 cells with three columns and 5 rows each
    In C2:C3 which possess only 2 cells with two columns.

    So in that case both the ranges are not similar in size so excel cannot paste that data.

    Using range(C2:C3).cells(1) is like placing the cursor in C2 cell and doing the paste process in this case excel will auto determine the paste ranges.

    range(C2:C3).cells(1) refers to first cell of that range so ultimately it will be C2

    Re: pastespecial method of worksheet class failed

    That makes sense... but in my case I am defining a range from it needs to copy the values and paste it in a new file so in effective it is pasting from A1 location onwards.
    Hence it wont apply to this situation right ?

    Also can I ask you, If I want to run the same code 9 times for each range then I will copy the code one below the other 9 times and jst change the filename / Define Range / Actual Range for each one of them.
    And when I hit the save button it will create 9 different files for each range defined.

    I tried doing this, initially for 2 more range but it came with an error of Ambiguous name detected SUB sheetToCsv()

    What do I need to do over here ?

    Refer Post #2 to know about the Pasting method. Pasting on a sheet requires just .paste but on the range it differs as .pastespecial.

    At the same time keep in mind that pasting on the sheet will paste the data on the activecell on which the cursor is present.

    If I want to run the same code 9 times for each range
    Use looping (For Loop / Do Loop) system in this case

    Re: pastespecial method of worksheet class failed

    one uses loop to rerun the same code again and again..till a condition is met,

    but over here I do need to run the same code again but I have to change the file name for each range and a different range_name and Range of data for 9 different Ranges.
    How would 1 do this activity ?

    Enter the named ranges on a range of cells with desired file names and use a loop on it

    They do not; but, some members belong to both. That means you have people duplicating the work of others without knowing about it.
