VBA-Excel: Select and Activate Cells - Select
Select:
You can Select a cells or cells for performing many activities like putting some value in cell or doing formatting or copy-paste the data. You can put or enter values in cells with/without selecting the cells. Select is used mostly in the cases of copy-paste operation where you have to tell the compiler specifically that from which cell it has to copy the data and in which cell it needs to be pasted.
Note:
Select works only with actives worksheets, if you use Select on cells before activating the respective sheet, the select method will fail and you will get “Run-time error ‘1004’: Application defined or object defined error”
Example:
Sub CopyPasteData() Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Copy Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("A1").Select Worksheets("Sheet3").Paste End Sub
If you run this procedure, you will, get “Run-time error ‘1004’: Application defined or object defined error”
All you need to do is, just activate the sheet3 before selecting the cell from it and pasting the data
Sub CopyPasteData() Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Copy Worksheets("Sheet3").Select ' Activate the sheet3 Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("A1").Select Worksheets("Sheet3").Paste End Sub
Now this code will run fine and paste the A1 cell data from sheet1 to sheet3.
