Hi

Here's my current code;
Code:
    Dim ws As Worksheet
        
    For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
    
        If ws.Name Like "*3CT" Then
            ws.Range("A29,C29,E29,G29,J29,N29,A34,C34,A36,C36,A38,C38").Copy
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
            ws.Range("A67,C67,E67,G67,J67,N67,A72,C72,A74,C74,A76,C76").Copy
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
            ws.Range("A105,C105,E105,G105,J105,N105,A110,C110,A112,C112,A114,C114").Copy
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
            ws.Range("A143,C143,E143,G143,J143,N143,A148,C148,A150,C150,A152,C152").Copy
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
            ws.Range("A181,C181,E181,G181,J181,N181,A186,C186,A188,C188,A190,C190").Copy
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
            ws.Range("A219,C219,E219,G219,J219,N219,A224,C224,A226,C226,A228,C228").Copy
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
        End If
        
    Next
    
Exit Sub

What I'm trying to do is go through each sheet name ending with "3CT" and copy the non-adjacent ranges defined above and paste into the next blank row within Worksheet "3CT Objective". But, It won't let me copy multiple selections.

I've tried looking around but anything I try doesn't seem to work!


This is my manual code which does work (but given I'd have to write / adapt 30+ times is something like 2400+ different lines so trying to shorten it). The "Name" also varies by sheet but the 3CT is always present in the sheet name;
Code:
    ActiveSheet.Range("A5") = "Name"
    ActiveSheet.Range("B5") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("A29")
    ActiveSheet.Range("C5") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("C29")
    ActiveSheet.Range("D5") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("E29")
    ActiveSheet.Range("E5") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("G29")
    ActiveSheet.Range("F5") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("J29")
    ActiveSheet.Range("G5") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("N29")
    ActiveSheet.Range("H5") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("A34")
    ActiveSheet.Range("I5") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("C34")
    ActiveSheet.Range("J5") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("A36")
    ActiveSheet.Range("K5") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("C36")
    ActiveSheet.Range("L5") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("A38")
    ActiveSheet.Range("M5") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("C38")
    
    ActiveSheet.Range("A6") = "Name"
    ActiveSheet.Range("B6") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("A67")
    ActiveSheet.Range("C6") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("C67")
    ActiveSheet.Range("D6") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("E67")
    ActiveSheet.Range("E6") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("G67")
    ActiveSheet.Range("F6") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("J67")
    ActiveSheet.Range("G6") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("N67")
    ActiveSheet.Range("H6") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("A72")

    ActiveSheet.Range("L6") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("A76")
    ActiveSheet.Range("M6") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("C76")
    
    ActiveSheet.Range("A7") = "Name"
    ActiveSheet.Range("B7") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("A105")

    ActiveSheet.Range("G7") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("N105")
    ActiveSheet.Range("H7") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("A110")
    ActiveSheet.Range("I7") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("C110")
    ActiveSheet.Range("J7") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("A112")

    ActiveSheet.Range("E10") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("G219")
    ActiveSheet.Range("F10") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("J219")
    ActiveSheet.Range("G10") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("N219")
    ActiveSheet.Range("H10") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("A224")
    ActiveSheet.Range("I10") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("C224")
    ActiveSheet.Range("J10") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("A226")
    ActiveSheet.Range("K10") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("C226")
    ActiveSheet.Range("L10") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("A228")
    ActiveSheet.Range("M10") = Worksheets("Name 3CT").Range("C228")

Any help would be appreciated!

How about this: I did not do your entire code (lazy today), but if you follow and extend the method that I highlighted in red, it should work.

Code:
Sub CopyNonCon()


    Dim ws As Worksheet
[COLOR=#ff0000]    Dim rng As Range[/COLOR]
    
    For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
        If ws.Name Like "*3CT" Then
            With ws
[COLOR=#ff0000]                Set rng = Application.Union(.Range("A29"), .Range("C29"), .Range("E29"))    'etc.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff0000]                rng.Copy[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff0000]                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues[/COLOR]

                ws.Range("A67,C67,E67,G67,J67,N67,A72,C72,A74,C74,A76,C76").Copy
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
                ws.Range("A105,C105,E105,G105,J105,N105,A110,C110,A112,C112,A114,C114").Copy
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
                ws.Range("A143,C143,E143,G143,J143,N143,A148,C148,A150,C150,A152,C152").Copy
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
                ws.Range("A181,C181,E181,G181,J181,N181,A186,C186,A188,C188,A190,C190").Copy

                ws.Range("A219,C219,E219,G219,J219,N219,A224,C224,A226,C226,A228,C228").Copy
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
            End With
        End If
    Next
    
End Sub

I hope this helps.

Thank you for replying igold, appreciate the help!

So I've done the first few lines and tested. Code is;
Code:
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim rng As Range
    
    For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
        If ws.Name Like "*3CT" Then
            With ws
                Set rng = Application.Union(.Range("A29"), .Range("C29"), .Range("E29"), .Range("G29"), .Range("J29"), .Range("N29"), .Range("A34"), .Range("C34"), .Range("A36"), .Range("C36"), .Range("A38"), .Range("C38"))
                [COLOR=#FF0000]rng.Copy[/COLOR]
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
                Set rng = Application.Union(.Range("A67"), .Range("C67"), .Range("E67"), .Range("G67"), .Range("J67"), .Range("N67"), .Range("A72"), .Range("C72"), .Range("A74"), .Range("C74"), .Range("A76"), .Range("C76"))
                rng.Copy
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
            End With
        End If
    Next

However an error comes up saying that my command cannot be used on multiple selections (in red above). Have I missed something?

Untested:
Code:
Sub CopyData()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim x As Long: x = 2
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
        If ws.Name Like "*3CT" Then
            For Each rng In ws.Range("A29,C29,E29,G29,J29,N29,A34,C34,A36,C36,A38,C38")
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, x).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) = rng
                x = x + 1
            Next rng
            x = 2
            For Each rng In ws.Range("A67,C67,E67,G67,J67,N67,A72,C72,A74,C74,A76,C76")
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, x).End(xlUp).Offset(1) = rng
                x = x + 1
            Next rng
            x = 2
            For Each rng In ws.Range("A105,C105,E105,G105,J105,N105,A110,C110,A112,C112,A114,C114")
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, x).End(xlUp).Offset(1) = rng
                x = x + 1
            Next rng
            x = 2
            For Each rng In ws.Range("A143,C143,E143,G143,J143,N143,A148,C148,A150,C150,A152,C152").Copy
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, x).End(xlUp).Offset(1) = rng
                x = x + 1
            Next rng
            x = 2
            For Each rng In ws.Range("A181,C181,E181,G181,J181,N181,A186,C186,A188,C188,A190,C190").Copy
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, x).End(xlUp).Offset(1) = rng
                x = x + 1
            Next rng
            x = 2
            For Each rng In ws.Range("A219,C219,E219,G219,J219,N219,A224,C224,A226,C226,A228,C228").Copy
                Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, x).End(xlUp).Offset(1) = rng
                x = x + 1
            Next rng
            x = 2
        End If
    Next ws
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I am finding a little bizarre behavior as well.

These three lines definitely work, I stepped through using F8:

Code:
Set rng = Application.Union(.Range("A29"), .Range("C29"), .Range("E29"), .Range("G29"), .Range("J29"), .Range("N29"))
rng.Copy
Sheets("3CT Objectives").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

However once I added .Range("A34") it failed, my first thought was that Excel did not like the non-contiguous rows so when we added Row 34 it was the problem. However the following also works, so that can't be the issue because we are using both non-contiguous Columns and Rows.

Code:
Set rng = Application.Union(.Range("A34"), .Range("C34"), .Range("A36"), .Range("C36"), .Range("A38"), .Range("C38"))
rng.Copy

If I were you I would either try a different method or break your lines down into segments (so to speak) that do work, which can easily be done by stepping through the code with every new cell you add to the range.
