使用不在第一行中的单个单元格作为目标粘贴整个列

Question

Is it really impossible to paste an entire column of data if the cells selected are not in the first row ?

I always get the error below if I try it

The information cannot be pasted because the Copy area and the paste area are not the same size and shape...

Any form of help is deeply appreciated.

Answer 1

It is actually impossible, either in VBA or directly. And it would not make any sense.

You could select an entire column less the last cell (last row), eg, A1:A[last row - 1] . Copy that range, and paste into, eg, B2 . That would work.

As a generalization, you could select A1:A[last row - n] . Copy that range, and paste into B[n+1] .

This will probably perform the action you mean, and you could easily write code for that.

Answer 2

For copy choose a cell and End key then Shift + Down key to select a contigous column.

Then to paste choose a single cell.

You can record this with Macro Recorder (Alt + T, M, R).
