    Run-time error '1004': Select method of Range class failed.

    Hello,

    I have a button in one of my sheets that calls on a Sub in Module1 and the following is the code. I am using variables to set ranges, but I am getting this error. Please assist.

    Which worksheet are DataRangeA and DataRangeB meant to be on?
    If posting code please use code tags, see here.

    They are meant to be on any of the sheets that the variable "SheetName" dictates.

    As it is they'll be on whatever sheet is active when the code is run.

    If that's not the sheet named whatever is in SheetName then the code will error.

    Range("DataA").Value = B7
    I don't understand why I am still getting the error. I'm sure these sheets have a range "B7"....

    What sheet is DataA on?

    What sheet is active when the code runs?

    It is on a completely different sheet, but it is hidden. Could this be the problem?

    Nevermind. Problem persists even with the worksheet not hidden.

    Can you attach a sample workbook?

    I tried running the same code several times and it works half the time and gets the error the half of the time.

    Re: Run-time error '1004': Select method of Range class failed.

    The problem is because the ranges in the code have no worksheet references so they will
    always refer to the active sheet.

    When you run this code DataARange and DataBRange will be referring to ranges on whatever the active sheet is.

    The easiest way to fix the problem is to add worksheet references and remove all the unneeded Selects.

    Fixed! As you said, I think it was all the unnecessary selects...

    Instead of:
    Range.Select
    Selection.Paste

    I did:
    Range.Paste

    So cleaning up the code helped a lot. Thanks a lot!
