I run two reports then combine them together. I then run consecutive macros to format. Today, I get this error message which is mind boggling to me as I have run these macros for a couple of years (and use 2-3 times per week. Our IT department, mentioned it could be a memory issue. They cleared out all my history, cache, and downloads. It seems to get caught on the copy/paste instruction. Any idea what caused this to happen and how to fix? I appreciate your help!!!

Excel Facts

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
You have a lot of "junk" in your code that can be removed, such as all the ScrollColumn statements (obviously, recorded with Macro Recorder), and most of the Select statements (toy typically do not need to select ranges in order to work with them).

I think you can simplify your code down to this:
VBA Code:
Sub phocasicscicswi()
' phocasicscicswi Macro
' combine icsc icsw phocas
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+b
'

With Cells.Font
    .Name = "Calibri"
    .Size = 10
    .Strikethrough = False
    .Superscript = False
    .Subscript = False
    .OutlineFont = False
    .Shadow = False
    .Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone
    .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
    .TintAndShade = 0
    .ThemeFont = xlThemeFontMinor
End With

Range("D2:D200000").FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-3],icsw!C[-3],1,FALSE)"
Range("D2:D200000").Value = Range("D2:D200000").Value

Sheets("icsw").Select
Range("D2:D200000").FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-3],icsc!C[-3],1,FALSE)"

Sheets("icsc").Select
Columns("D:D").Value = Columns("D:D").Value
Application.CutCopyMode = False

Sheets("icsc").Name = "icsc icsw"
Range("A1").Select

End Sub
Also, we may be able to make it more efficient still. Do you really need to go down to row 200000 one very sheet?
You may be able to dynamically find the last row with data, and only go down that far, if you let us know which column we can look at to find the last row (i.e. maybe column C?).
And what sheet are you on when you kick off the code?

Why of course it's by recorder :), it's the only way I know! Self-teaching takes time that I don't have. :) I figured when I sent this in, you'd laugh at the length....
I only need to go to the last blank row, which I have discovered the correct code but never took the time to fix. If you can add it, that would be awesome!!!! Anywhere I have 200000, the code needs run to the last blank row. I believe I am on the icsc sheet when I start it, but never thought about it.

Any idea why this won't run today? I just ran this on Tuesday. Is it truly the length and using up memory?

Try this:
VBA Code:
Sub phocasicscicswi()
' phocasicscicswi Macro
' combine icsc icsw phocas
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+b
'

Dim lr As Long

With Cells.Font
    .Name = "Calibri"
    .Size = 10
    .Strikethrough = False
    .Superscript = False
    .Subscript = False
    .OutlineFont = False
    .Shadow = False
    .Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone
    .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
    .TintAndShade = 0
    .ThemeFont = xlThemeFontMinor
End With

lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row

Range("D2:D" & lr).FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-3],icsw!C[-3],1,FALSE)"
Range("D2:D" & lr).Value = Range("D2:D" & lr).Value

Sheets("icsw").Select
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row

Range("D2:D" & lr).FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-3],icsc!C[-3],1,FALSE)"
Range("D2:D" & lr).Value = Range("D2:D" & lr).Value

Sheets("icsc").Name = "icsc icsw"
Range("A1").Select

End Sub

No idea why you got that error. But see if these updates prevent that. Maybe removing all the scrolling and not populating extra formulas will use less memory.

Solution
I did copy/paste your code and it worked, but I have four other macros I run after this one. They all say the following and each time I run the macro, I get an error. Why would this error happen?

Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _

:=False, Transpose:=False

Sorry, I didn't see your response. I will just move on. Thanks for your help. I may send you the other macros for you to fix - you are so fast!

You are welcome.
Glad I was able to help.

Please note, when posting code in the future, please use the Code tags as directed here: How to Post Your VBA Code
The way you posted your code makes it very hard to work with.
If you post it with the Code Tags, it will look like the code I posted, where indenting is maintained and the text is not all spread out.
