» Copy Selection to a Database sheet using VBA in Microsoft Excel

VBA macro tip contributed by Ron de Bruin, Microsoft MVP - Excel

• The example codes will copy to a database sheet with the name Sheet2.
• Every time you run one of the subs the cells will be placed below the last row with data or after the last Column with data in sheet2.
• For each example there is a macro that does a normal copy and one that is only Copy the Values.
• The Example subs use the functions below (the macros won’t work without the functions).

You can use this also in a selection with one Area

Sub CopySelection()
    Dim destrange As Range
    Dim smallrng As Range
    For Each smallrng In Selection.Areas
        Set destrange = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A" & _
        LastRow(Sheets("Sheet2")) + 1)
        smallrng.Copy destrange
    Next smallrng
End Sub

Sub CopySelectionValues()
    Dim destrange As Range
    Dim smallrng As Range
    For Each smallrng In Selection.Areas
        With smallrng
            Set destrange = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A" & _
            LastRow(Sheets("Sheet2")) + 1). _
            Resize(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count)
        End With
        destrange.Value = smallrng.Value
    Next smallrng
End Sub
