Copy cells in column M that start with “xx” and paste them into another sheet

Question

I am trying to make a button that will find all cells in column H starting with rm and copy them from one sheet to another.

sheet2 column M would go to sheet 1 column A

Dim i As Variant
Dim rng As Range

Set x = Range("m" & i)

If Left(rng.Value, 2) = "rm" Then
For Each i In x
Worksheets("scope sheet").Range("A5").Value = Range(i)
Next i
End If

this gives an error "method 'range' of Object '_global' failed."

if i add a With statement i get "subscript out of range."

does anyone know a work around.

Answer 1

You need to use Left(Range, 2) and make some changes to your loop structure. The code is currently looping from the second row down to the last used row ( lr )

Option Explicit

Sub test()

Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2") '<-- UPDATE SHEET
Dim i As Long, LR As Long

LR = ws.Range("M" & ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

For i = 2 To LR
    If Left(ws.Range("M" & i), 2) = "rm" Then
        ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & i).Value = ws.Range("M" & i).Value
    End If
Next i

End Sub
