I am starting a new post for this question as I believe it is a separate question.

Someone on this forum was very generous to give me the following code but my problem with it is I do not know how to modify it to select specific columns and group them.

For example. How would I modify this to copy the data from the "Data" sheet for columns A1:C1 AND F and paste them into the form on the "Central Form" sheet

Note: The code also has a problem with clearing the data on rows when pasting it onto the forms (rows 18, 19 20, 36, 37 and 38 to be exact) that I do not know how to fix - I asked this on my previous post if others need to reference this.

VBA Code:
Sub PasteToCentralForm3()
    Dim tableRange As Range, destSheet As Worksheet
    Dim tableArray() As Variant, Result() As Variant
    Dim numRows As Long, numCols As Long
    Dim i As Long, j As Long, loopCount As Long
    Dim chunkSize As Long
    CustCol = "A1:C1, F1:F1" 'adjust columns to grab **IT IS NOT GRABBING F!**
   
    Set tableRange = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data").ListObjects("Order_Data").DataBodyRange 'Change table name as needed
    Set destSheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Central Form")
    chunkSize = 15 'adjust chunk size as needed.
   
   
    numRows = tableRange.Rows.Count
    numCols = tableRange.Range(CustCol).Columns.Count
    p = 1
    ' Read data into array
    tableArray = tableRange.Value
    ReDim Result(1 To numRows, 1 To numCols)
    For m = 1 To numRows
        If tableArray(m, 2) = "Central" Then
            For n = 1 To numCols
                Result(p, n) = tableArray(m, n)
            Next n
             p = p + 1
        End If
    Next m
   
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    loopCount = WorksheetFunction.RoundUp(UBound(Result, 1) / chunkSize, 0)
   
    ' Collect all data into one large array
    Dim outputData() As Variant
    ReDim outputData(1 To loopCount * (chunkSize + 2) - 2, 1 To numCols)
   
    Dim outputIndex As Long
    outputIndex = 1
   
    For i = 1 To loopCount
        Dim outputRowCount As Long
        outputRowCount = WorksheetFunction.Min(chunkSize, numRows - (i - 1) * chunkSize)
        For j = 1 To outputRowCount
            For k = 1 To numCols
                outputData(outputIndex, k) = Result((i - 1) * chunkSize + j, k)
            Next k
            outputIndex = outputIndex + 1
        Next j
        outputIndex = outputIndex + 3 ' Skip three rows for each chunk
    Next i
   
    ' Output all data to destination sheet at once
    destSheet.Cells(3, 1).Resize(UBound(outputData, 1), UBound(outputData, 2)).Value = outputData
   
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Excel Facts

Save Often
If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
Do you have "Option Explicit" in your module where the code is?
You might have to adjust for tables.
Code:
Sub Test()
Dim CustCol As Range
Set CustCol = Range("A1:C1, F1").EntireColumn
CustCol.Select
End Sub
 
Upvote 0
Rather than using Entire Columns, just the Range needed would be better.
Code:
Sub AAAAA()
Dim CustCol As Range, lr As Long
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Set CustCol = Range("A1:C" & lr & ", " & "F1:F" & lr)
CustCol.Select
End Sub

                outputData(j, k) = Result((i - 1) * chunkSize + j, k)
            Next k

    Next i
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

This works great! Thank you so much!
Is there a way to define one more thing? Where to start pasting the data?
For example, if the form starts at cell C13 and that is where I wanted to start pasting the chunks.
Can we make the starting point adjustable?

Thank you again for all of your help!


For example, I changed a few things to apply to another spreadsheet and added in sr for starting row. I just do not know how to do starting column, say column C (3)


VBA Code:
Sub PasteToCentralForm5()
    Dim tableRange As Range, destSheet As Worksheet
    Dim tableArray() As Variant, Result() As Variant
    Dim numRows As Long, numCols As Long
    Dim i As Long, j As Long, loopCount As Long
    Dim chunkSize As Long
    Set tableRange = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data").ListObjects("Data").DataBodyRange 'Change table name as needed
    Set destSheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Part Request Form")
    chunkSize = 20 'adjust chunk size as needed.
    numRows = tableRange.Rows.Count
    numCols = 7 ' Columns A, B, D, F, G, H and I

    p = 1
    ' Read data into array
    tableArray = tableRange.Value
    ReDim Result(1 To numRows, 1 To numCols)
    For m = 1 To numRows
        If tableArray(m, 9) = "S" Then
            Result(p, 1) = tableArray(m, 1) ' Column A
            Result(p, 2) = tableArray(m, 4) ' Column D
            Result(p, 3) = tableArray(m, 2) ' Column B
            Result(p, 4) = tableArray(m, 8) ' Column H
            Result(p, 5) = tableArray(m, 6) ' Column F
            Result(p, 6) = tableArray(m, 7) ' Column G
            Result(p, 7) = tableArray(m, 9) ' Column I

            p = p + 1
        End If
    Next m
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    loopCount = WorksheetFunction.RoundUp(UBound(Result, 1) / chunkSize, 0)
    Dim outputIndex As Long
    Dim rowSkip As Long
    rowSkip = 12 'change # of rows to skip
    sr = 12 'Starting row '***added starting row
    outputIndex = 1
    ' Output each chunk of data
    For i = 1 To loopCount
        Dim outputRowCount As Long
        outputRowCount = WorksheetFunction.Min(chunkSize, numRows - (i - 1) * chunkSize)
        Dim outputData() As Variant
        ReDim outputData(1 To outputRowCount, 1 To numCols)
        For j = 1 To outputRowCount
            For k = 1 To numCols
                outputData(j, k) = Result((i - 1) * chunkSize + j, k)
            Next k
        Next j
        ' Output the chunk to destination sheet
        destSheet.Cells(outputIndex + sr, 1).Resize(outputRowCount, numCols).Value = outputData '***added starting row
        outputIndex = outputIndex + outputRowCount + rowSkip ' Move to next chunk
    Next i
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

The 1 is column A. Change to 3 for C.
VBA Code:
destSheet.Cells(outputIndex + sr, 1).Resize(outputRowCount, numCols).Value = outputData '***added starting row

I thought I tried that but guess I made an error because it works now.

Thank you so very much! This is perfect!
