Paste in reverse

[BORUCH]

HI

can someone please provide me with a VBA that pastes backwards

for example
if i select cell A1 TO A5 and click copy and the try to paste it in Another column it would first paste A1 then A2 etc..
i'm looking for a VBA that would reverse the order it should first paste A5 then A4 then A3 etc..

Thanks

I'm unsure what you mean exactly, but this small set of statements would take the contents of A1 and place then in B5. Therefore whilst the A range is selected in descent, the B range is filled in the reverse order:

b = 5
For a = 1 To 5
Range("B" & b).Value = Range("A" & a).Value
b = b - 1
Next

hi

two things

if possible to provide the whole code
and also its not always from column A to column B i would need a input box to select the destination to paste the data.
if you can add that extra code i would appreciate it
also its not always five cells its what i select before i hit the macro
thanks

Bourch,

With the input box which allows you to select the destination, how do you want the paste to behave? Do you want it to start from that box you select and paste going up the column? Or do you want it to use that box as the top of the paste range?

For example, say you want to copy A1:A5. Do you want to select B5 to have it paste to B5, B4, B3, B2, B1? Or do you want to select B1 and have it paste to B5, B4, B3, B2, B1?

Select the range to copy then run this

Sub RevPast()

    Dim Rws As Long
    Dim Dest As Range
    Dim SRng As Range
    Dim i As Long
    Dim r As Long
    
    r = 1
    Rws = Selection.Rows.Count
    Set SRng = Selection
    Set Dest = Application.InputBox("Select start point of paste range", Type:=8)
    For i = Rws To 1 Step -1
        Dest(r) = SRng(i)
        r = r + 1
    Next i
    
End Sub

@BORUCH
You might want to add a check to the code to ensure the range selected is contiguous and in one column only.

HI
OK his works PERFECT

if possible to add to this code, that if I select a range for ex. if I select a range from A1 to F10, and then I select in the input box let’s say A1, it should paste everything in reverse just like the standard copy paste in excel
is that possible?

try

Sub RevPast()

    Dim Rws As Long
    Dim cols As Long
    Dim Dest As Range
    Dim SRng As Range
    Dim i As Long
    Dim r As Long
    
    r = 1
    Rws = Selection.Rows.Count
    cols = Selection.Columns.Count
    Set SRng = Selection
    Set Dest = Application.InputBox("Select start point of paste range", Type:=8)
    
    For i = Rws To 1 Step -1
        SRng.Rows(i).Copy Dest(r)
        r = r + 1
    Next i
    
End Sub
