Question

I’m building a macro to split a long table into multiple smalls tables, and I’d like to have the header saved in a variable to be able to quickly paste it on top of the smalls table.

I made a macro to do the first one (quite simple)

Sheets("Feuil1").Select
Rows("2:2").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("PageImpression").Select
Rows("2:2").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

How can I keep my Selection.Copy in a variable and how do I paste it when I need to?

Answer 1

The answer is to store the row into a variable. Then call that variable when you need it. Also, no need for copy / paste and select and all that 🙂

Option Explicit

Dim myHeader as Variant

myHeader = Sheets("Feuil1").Rows(2)

Sheets("PageImpression").Rows(2) = myHeader

Update

To use with a Range Object, do the following:

Dim myHeader As Range

Set myHeader = Sheets(1).Rows(2)

Sheets(2).Rows(2).Value = myHeader.Value

Update 2

The even cleaner (memory + time saving) way to do this would be:

Option Explicit

Dim myHeader as Variant (or Range)

With Sheets("Feuil1")

    myHeader = .Range(.Range("A1"),.Range("A" & .Columns.Count).End(xltoLeft).Column))
    'for variable type Range, add "Set =" in front of line above

End With

Sheets("PageImpression").Range("A2") = myHeader
'For Range Sheets("PageImpression").Range("A2").Value = myHeader.Value
