Hi folks,

Today I found a bug in my workbooks that only causes a problem sometimes.

I have a source worksheet that has stock index close price data on it. In the past I used a macro to retrieve that data by selecting the range/copy to a different worksheet.
Today I noticed that since I used dates to retrieve the original data, and those dates relate to actual days whether the stock index trades or not, sometimes my retrieval gets a day or two more or less than other days.

I've been trying some different ideas to get the result I want, but it's not quite working so I'm sure someone here has an idea that will work better.

Here is a synopsis of the data. Source data (sometimes longer/shorter number of "trading" days in the same time period) and my desired result.
In my VBA , how can I only .Select and copy the last 20 entries from the last date (1/3/2022 shown) to copy over to the desired results sheet?

Thanks for your help! -Will

Modifying your script to look like this:
VBA Code:
Sub My_Script()
'Modified  1/4/2022  11:35:46 PM  EST
Dim lRow As Long
 lRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    
    Select Case lRow
    
        Case 1259
            Range("A2:AY1259").Copy
            Windows("Destination.xlsb").Sheets("Data").Range("B16").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues

        Case 1260
            Range("A3:AY1260").Copy
            Windows("Destination.xlsb").Sheets("Data").Range("B16").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
    
        Case 1261
            Range("A4:AY1261").Copy
            Windows("Destination.xlsb").Sheets("Data").Range("B16").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
    
    End Select
End Sub

If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
Hey Will,
I think My Aswer Is This was pretty close with the Offset and Resize; just need to add the columns out to AY (ie, Column 51)...

VBA Code:
Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(-1257).Resize(1258, 51).Copy _
    Destination:=Workbooks("Destination.xlsb").Sheets("Data").Range("B16")

Cheers,

Tony
Thanks Tony and My Answer is This. Both solutions provide me with examples that will work in different situations.
For this particular case, the 1-2 line solution works well and will allow me to set variables the user can change for how much offset gets applied.
Thanks for your help!
