How to Copy and Paste Rows in Excel VBA Starting from a Predefined Location

If you're delving into the world of Excel VBA, you might encounter scenarios that require you to automate the process of copying and pasting data. A common task for beginners is to copy data from one range and paste it into a new location in a worksheet. However, you might find yourself wanting to start your pasting at a specific row rather than the next available one. This guide addresses that scenario and provides a clear solution to achieve this goal.

The Problem: Pasting Data at the Correct Location

Let's say you have a setup in Excel where certain information is continuously being added and you need to maintain proper data structure. In your case, you want to copy values from the range B2:D2 (which contains DATE, TIME, and FREETEXT data) and paste them starting at row 10 instead of row 3 or 4, where the next available space may fall.

Originally, your code effectively copies data as desired, but it pastes it directly underneath the previous entries. What you want is a way to start pasting data from B10, ensuring that your existing data remains organized.

The Solution: Modifying Your VBA Code

To resolve the issue efficiently, you can modify your VBA code slightly. Let's break down the solution into manageable steps.

Step 1: Understand the Existing Code

The existing code to determine the next available cell is as follows:

This line finds the last occupied cell in column B and then offsets it by one row downward to select the next empty cell.

Step 2: Implement a New Logic

Instead of pasting directly below the last entry, you'll want to check if cell B10 is empty. If it is, that cell will be your target for pasting. If B10 is occupied, you can proceed to find the next free cell.

Here’s the modified code that you should implement:

Step 3: Explanation of the Modified Code

With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Log"): This line indicates that you're working within the "Log" worksheet throughout the block.

If IsEmpty(.Range("B10").Value) Then: This checks if cell B10 is empty.

If B10 is empty: The NextFreeCell variable is set to B10, allowing you to paste there first.

If B10 is occupied: The code falls to the next step, finding the last occupied cell in column B and offsetting one row down to assign to NextFreeCell.

Step 4: Copying and Pasting the Data

With the determination of NextFreeCell in place, you can proceed to copy your source range and paste it there just like you previously did:

Conclusion

By implementing this solution, you've ensured that your data will start populating from cell B10 the first time it runs. On subsequent entries, it will continue to populate underneath the existing data, maintaining the integrity of your layout. This technique is not only useful for beginners but also beneficial for anyone looking to automate data entry processes in Excel VBA while keeping rows organized.
