So I am trying to use this macro. Basically I want to sort column W ascending, then use the formula "=W2*-1" in column X, delete all values in column X that equal zero and W is blank, then copy and paste the values from column X to column I. When I do this it seems to work but it is changing the column header instead of starting in W2, X2, and I2... Can anyone help?

' Sort column W from smallest to largest
Range("$W$1:$W$" & Range("W" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Sort Key1:=Range("$W$2"), Order1:=xlAscending

' Add the formula "=W2*-1" to column X
Range("X2").Formula = "=W2*-1"
Range("X2").AutoFill Destination:=Range("X2:X" & Range("W" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)

' Delete values in column X where column Y is blank and X = 0
For a1 = 2 To Range("W" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
If IsEmpty(Range("W2")) And Range("X2") = 0 Then
Range("X" & a1).ClearContents
End If
Next a1

' Copy and paste values from column X to column I starting with X2
Range("X2:X" & Range("W" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Copy
Range("I2").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Hi,

To follow your thought process ... you can test following
VBA Code:
Sub TestNerdy()
Dim i As Long

' Sort column W from smallest to largest
Range("$W$2:$W$" & Range("W" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Sort Key1:=Range("$W$2"), Order1:=xlAscending

' Add the formula "=W2*-1" to column X
Range("X2").Formula = "=W2*-1"
Range("X2").AutoFill Destination:=Range("X2:X" & Range("W" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)

' Your Sorting has placed all Blanks at the bottom
' and these cells are no longer taken into account

' Copy and paste values from column X to column I starting with X2
Range("I2:I" & Range("W" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Value = Range("X2:X" & Range("W" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Value

End Sub
