Good day,

I need a Private sub when double clicked on a cell it must do the same as putting the cell to edit mode F2 and highlighting/selecting all text and copying it to clipboard. Currently it copies the text but when pasting in another program it pastes with multiple line breaks and i have to go and edit the whole document again. The code i have now is below.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)On Error Resume Next
If Target.Value <> "" Then
Target.Copy
End If
Cancel = True
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
Seems to be working with this code.

Code:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
On Error Resume Next


Dim MyDataObj As New DataObject
Dim myStr As String


myStr = ActiveCell.Text
If Right(myStr, 1) = vbLf Then
myStr = Left(myStr, Len(myStr) - 1)
End If


MyDataObj.SetText myStr
MyDataObj.PutInClipboard
End Sub
