Copy and Paste Column including formulas.

I am trying to copy the column with the "x" in row 9, then insert it to the right.

I have the below so far - which can copy the 1st column and past to to the next, just not sure how to get the reference in row 9

Sub LastColumn()
Dim LastCol As Long

With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Capital Accounts")
LastCol = Cells(1, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
Columns(LastCol).Copy Destination:=Cells(1, LastCol + 1)

End With

End Sub

RE: Copy and Paste Column including formulas.

Hi Nick,

Thank you for the forum question.

I hope I understand you right. The code below will find x in row 9. Copy the whole column and paste the column to the right of the column with the x.


Sub LastColumn()
Dim ColCell As Range
Dim ColNumber As Integer


Set ColCell = Rows(9).Find("X")

ColNumber = ColCell.Column


Rows(9).Find("X").EntireColumn.Copy Destination:=Cells(1, ColNumber + 1)

End Sub



Kind regards

RE: Copy and Paste Column including formulas.

Hi Jens,

This definitely looks like it would work, however, I am running into the below error on the "Rows(9).Find("X").EntireColumn.Copy Destination:=Cells(1, ColNumber + 1)"

Compile error: Expected: expression

and the := is highlighted.

Then I got the compile error to clear, but then receieved an error message on the "ColNumber = ColCell.Column" stating Run-time error '91': Object wariable or with block variable not set

I also believe I would need to change the "Destination:=Cells(1,ColNumber +1) so not have Cells(1.. as i need it to paste to the right of the copied column not the first column

I would also definitely be interested in your trainings!
