Hello folks;

My very first post here...Using Excel 2016 with VBA.
I have created some code that will copy specific data based upon certain criteria. I'm not very good at VBA so it may not be the most efficient but I'm 98% there...the criteria works great!

I cannot for the life of me paste the data where I want. It is pasting to Column A - I would like it to paste into Column H. I am sure it's the last line...but when I enter Range or even just PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, I get the Run-Time error 1004 "Application-defined or Object-defined error".

Here's what I've come up with so far....

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
a = Worksheets("Deal Information").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 8 To a
If Worksheets("Deal Information").Cells(i, "J").Value = "New Brunswick" _
Or Worksheets("Deal Information").Cells(i, "J").Value = "NB" _
Or Worksheets("Deal Information").Cells(i, "J").Value = "Nova Scotia" _
Or Worksheets("Deal Information").Cells(i, "J").Value = "NS" _
Or Worksheets("Deal Information").Cells(i, "J").Value = "Prince Edward Island" _
Or Worksheets("Deal Information").Cells(i, "J").Value = "PEI" _
Or Worksheets("Deal Information").Cells(i, "J").Value = "Newfoundland" _
Or Worksheets("Deal Information").Cells(i, "J").Value = "Newfoundland and Labrador" _
Or Worksheets("Deal Information").Cells(i, "J").Value = "NL" _
Then
Worksheets("Deal Information").Cells(i, "C").Copy
Worksheets("Province").Activate
b = Worksheets("Access AR").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Worksheets("Province").Cells(b + 1, 1).Select
Worksheets("Province").Paste
End If
Next
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

Thanks folks - sincerely...I've worked on this for hours so decided to reach-out.

Sorry everyone - made a typo....

the line that starts with "b=" should say Province (Not Access AR)....sorry for the confusion...

Hi, welcome to the forum

It can be simplified in this way.

Code: 
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Dim sh1 As Worksheet, i As Long
    Set sh1 = Sheets("Deal Information")
    For i = 8 To sh1.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
        Select Case sh1.Cells(i, "J").Value
            Case "New Brunswick", "NB", "Nova Scotia", "NS", "Prince Edward Island", _
                 "PEI", "Newfoundland", "Newfoundland and Labrador", "NL"
                Sheets("Province").Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)(2).Value = sh1.Cells(i, "C").Value
        End Select
    Next
    MsgBox "Done"
End Sub

Let me know if you have any questions.

Code: 
[COLOR=#333333]Worksheets("Province").Cells(b + 1, [/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]"H"[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]).Select[/COLOR]

But to paste in column H, you must also count the last row of column H, if there are blank cells in A, in that case:

Code: 
    Then
        Worksheets("Deal Information").Cells(i, "C").Copy
        Worksheets("Province").Activate
        b = Worksheets("Province").Cells(Rows.Count, [COLOR=#0000ff]"H"[/COLOR]).End(xlUp).Row
        Worksheets("Province").Cells(b + 1, [COLOR=#0000ff]"H"[/COLOR]).[COLOR=#0000ff]PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues[/COLOR]
       
    End If

Not necessarily. There might be blank cells in column H (but never in column A), so column A is used to find the next blank row.

Forget that. Cannot be the case because of the loop

Hello DanteAmor;

I love this code! It is simple and fast! But I have a problem. I am copying more than 1 column - Some of the values in these other columns are blank. I hope I can illustrate my problem....First is what I need to see, second is what your code is doing....

Apparently, the code is ignoring the blank cells and populates it with the next non-blank cell...so as you can see in my second table, the zip codes in red are now misaligned and have basically moved up to fill that first blank cell. Is there some way to evaluate these blank cells and copy/paste them even if blank?
