I want to copy the values from column E from Workbook IID.xlsm until an empty cell is found. And paste them into Placeholder.xlsm column A.

I have the following code but I get an error on the third line

Code:
<code style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, "Lucida Console", "Liberation Mono", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier New", monospace, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: inherit; white-space: inherit;">[COLOR=#101094][FONT=inherit]Dim[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#303336][FONT=inherit] cnt [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#101094][FONT=inherit]As[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#101094][FONT=inherit]Long[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#858C93][FONT=inherit]'add this to your declarations area[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#303336][FONT=inherit]

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
Why do you have .Cells(Rows.Count, 2) here?
Code:
cnt =.Range("A5",.Cells(Rows.Count,2).End(xlUp)).Rows.Count
That would mean that your count of cells would cover 2 columns.

I changed it to 1 but I'm still getting the same error.

What's the value of cnt when you get the error?

PS Did you also change the 2 later in the code here?
Rich (BB code):
    Workbooks("Placeholder.xlsm").Sheets("Sheet1").Range("E5").Resize(cnt).Value = _
    .Range("A5", .Cells(Rows.Count,2).End(xlUp)).Value

Is .xls the correct file type?
