    Copy dynamically changing column and Paste using VBA Loop (Loop within Loop)

    Hello,

    After spending too much time on this problem, I am hoping to find some help here - seems like the right place. This is the last bit of code out of a larger macro - which (except for this bit) works fine. I am attaching all of the code nevertheless. Briefly, this is what is going on:

    1) My sheet gets data from another sheet repeatedly (Loop 1)
    2) Then I run a Solver model iteratively to solve a bond math problem (Loop 2)
    3) Finally, each vector (column) of Solver solutions needs to be value-pasted in its own column (Loop 3). And this is the step where grief catches up with me.

    Both t and j need to loop around 300 times; whereas i is fine as it is.

    Any and all help welcome!!

    Not sure I understand your Solver loop. As far as I see i goes from 34 to 52 and you run Solver for every increase of i but then you seem to throw away the result because after the line

    you just calls for the next i value.

    If this part is supposed to capture the Solver result

    Alf, the trick is that the whole column - O34 to O52 - is ONE set of results. And that needs to be copied over to its own column before looping to the next t. Right now, the trouble is that it only captures the last iteration of t, and keeps overwriting the new column (i.e. where the Solver results are being copied). Hopefully this will now make sense.

    No I'm not really sure I understand it. Is it possible to upload the file?

    Alf

    Ps Just make sure that there is no "sensitive" information in the file if you upload.

    Looks like your reply got duplicated several times
    so it did. I do wonder me or Forum hickups?

    The final result is the WHOLE column, and that needs to be copied over to S10:S28. This is what the j index is attempting to do, but apparently it fails.
    I don't think so. To me it does what it's told to do but that may not be what you want. At the moment j loops from 1 to 3 and copies the solver
    result with a row offset of -24 and a column offset of j + 3 so result is copied to column 4, 5, and 6 from the Q column i.e. S, T and U column.

    Then j is reset to 1 and told to loop to 3 again. So if you wish to loop Solver 3 times keep the j loop but add anothe counter say k to be dim'ed as Integre and add a line after
