Hello I have a code which copies and pastes several columns into a new workbook starting on column B.
I now want column A to be a concatenation of column B and column C, I am getting an object defined error with the code I'm trying to use, any help?
Here is my code (The concatenation part is at the end, I converted part of the code into notes just so I can test it quicker) :

Code: 
Private Sub CustomerServiceButton_Click()


'Variables'
Dim wbI As Workbook, wbII As Workbook
Dim wsI As Worksheet, wsII As Worksheet


'Current Workbook variables'
Set wbI = ThisWorkbook
Set wsI = wbI.Sheets("Intercias")


'Output workbook variables
Set wbII = Workbooks.Add
wbII.ActiveSheet.Name = "Analysis"


With wbII


Set wsII = wbII.Sheets("Analysis")


'WorkwsII.Range("B1:AZ20000").Delete Shift:=xlUp


'FIND LAST ROW '


copyLastrow = wsI.Cells.Find("*", searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row


pasteLastrowB = wsII.Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
pasteLastrowC = wsII.Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
pasteLastrowD = wsII.Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
pasteLastrowE = wsII.Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

With wsII


Dim nextrow As Integer

wsII.Range("A2:A" & nextrow).Formula = "=CONCATENATE(B2,C2)"


        End With
    End With
End Sub

Thanks!

where is your code bugging out? My guess is it is to do with the number of times you're using copy and paste. My suggestion would be to pick the row with the longest set of data and use that to define your last row for the other columns, and then copy and past the entire range into the new sheet.
I'm not a VBA expert but I ran into a similar issue and it was caused by how my code was structured rather than what it was trying to accomplish if that makes sense.

Hello RMKBrit,

Thanks for your response, actually all of that is working.
The code opens a new workbook, renames the spreadsheet, and pastes all the columns I need.
It bugs out at the
Code: 
Dim nextrow As Integer

[COLOR=#333333]nextrow = WorksheetFunction.CountA(ActiveSheet.Range("B2:B"))[/COLOR]

part (Object defined error).

Not sure why as I've used a similar dynamic range before and it worked fine, I think it has to do with the fact that this is a new workbook but not sure where the error is or if the concatenation code will work.

Honestly I think the best way is to just insert the formula via vba into the first cell of the range and then have it copy and pasted to the end of the range, let me know if it doesn't make sense, I have some code I can post up when I am in the office
