Hello
I want to be able to choose any cell in column A (A9) on active sheet "CE" and have a macro button then copy ranges "B8:B33,B39:B64,B70:B95,B101:B126" from sheet "YPF" and paste them into active sheet active cell plus 27(?) columns to the right (AA9) on sheet ("CE")

If you want to copy everything:

VBA Code:
Sub Copy_and_paste_into_active_cell()
  If ActiveCell.Column <> 1 Then
    MsgBox "Select a cell in column A"
    Exit Sub
  End If
  Sheets("YPF").Range("B8:AC33,B39:AC64,B70:AC95,B101:AC126").Copy ActiveCell
End Sub

Or simply values:

VBA Code:
Sub Copy_and_paste_into_active_cell_V2()
  If ActiveCell.Column <> 1 Then
    MsgBox "Select a cell in column A"
    Exit Sub
  End If
  Sheets("YPF").Range("B8:AC33,B39:AC64,B70:AC95,B101:AC126").Copy
  ActiveCell.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End Sub

Hello Dante, the message box prompt is awesome but I need the copy range to stay B8:B33,B39:B64,B70:B95,B101:B126 from "YFP" (this wont ever change) and the paste to be in "CE" sheet using the row of the selected cell but over in AA column because I have some hidden formulas out there. So if I select A12 I want it to paste into AA12, if I chose A47 I want it to paste into AA47, etc. I hope that explanation is easier.

    MsgBox "Select a cell in column A"
    Exit Sub
  End If
  Sheets("YPF").Range("B8:B33,B39:B64,B70:B95,B101:B126").Copy Range("AA" & ActiveCell.Row)
End Sub

Check that you have copied the macro correctly:


VBA Code:
Sub Copy_and_paste_into_active_cell()
  If ActiveCell.Column <> 1 Then
    MsgBox "Select a cell in column A"
    Exit Sub
  End If
  Sheets("YPF").Range("B8:B33,B39:B64,B70:B95,B101:B126").Copy Range("AA" & ActiveCell.Row)
End Sub


and the name of the sheet

You cannot paste a range of cells into a merged cell.
Remove the merged cells and try again.

It is not recommended to use combined cells in data management. You can use them in titles or something like that.

If you don't remove them, you will have problems with any macro.
