I need to copy a range of cells from my local Excel file to a shared OneDrive file. I have not been able to find a method that works. Any ideas?

PS. There is one exception to the Clipboard being erased.
The action
….AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CriteriaRange:=…, Unique:=False, CopyToRange:=
does not affect whatever is in the clipboard at the time.
It also copies formats, so a very good option instead of Copy Paste so as not to disturb the user’s own clipboard.

Just a note to add that the Copy Destination method must be using the clipboard transitively, because whatever you had in clipboard beforehand is erased afterwards.
What an excellent page BTW!

Hi,

Thanks for the detailed description.

But mine is a different case.. Hope you can help.

In a spreadsheet I have various embedded objects(mostly word documents) in two columns at several rows. I need to access those objects at one row in two columns at a time compare them and need to paste the differences in other objects file present at same row next column(third column).

Firstly I cant find a way to paste data into an object file itself. I have tried worksheet.paste method and a few more but none of them did workout.

Any idea how can I achieve this?

Hi Jorge,
Great job but I think I confused you. I am uploading a photo to help me illustrate.

I have two separate files. The Active worksheet has names address and a Domain and the other is a list with two columns. Domain in column A and text in column B.

I need the active sheet to check the database file to see if there is a matching Domain. If there is a match then copy and past the corresponding data in Column B.

By there way, there will always be a match in the domain.

HA!, no need to be sorry, your macro was awesome.

I did it this way. Thanks for showing me another way to look at it.

If Not IsEmpty(.Cells(iCounter, 1)) = True Then .Paste

Hi Great site,
I need to copy B1:E1 and paste it to any row with data in the A column.

Steps:
Copy B2:E2
Look in A2
If there is date in A2 paste B1:E1
Look in A3
If there is date in A3 paste B1:E1

Simply put, I want to past B1:E1 into any row with data in it.

Thoughts?
