.Text .Formula .Value to replace copy_paste values?

[Rikkart]

Hi,

I'm trying to copy values from an original set of columns into a new set of
columns, where the column order is different.
Can I replicate copy_paste values functionality with something as below?

mystartcellnewset.cells(i,j).formula = mystartcelloldset.cells(i,k).value

I've tried different combinations of .formula, .text, .value, and the above
gives the best results, but I still get things like number of employees ("5 -
10") converted to date, and phonenumber text converted to a number without
leading 0 etc.

copy_paste values in a double loop (column, row) seems very inefficient, so
I'd like to do this in a single simple statement...

thanks beforehand,
Rikkart

Did you read all the posts at your other thread?

Hi Dave,
thanks for the reply. (I couldn't find my previous post, so couldn't check -
even now, searching for "copy_paste" doesn't give me this post in the
results. Pagebrowsing still works...)

Anyway, thanks, I tried NumberFormat but that didn't help, but I'll try
including Value2.
(Meanwhile, I actually tested the copy-paste option, and processed 1062
lines in 5 minutes instead of in 12 seconds (with errors))

any further clues?

I use google to search groups.

Give it enough information (you as the author, maybe a keyword or date) and
you'll find it.

You could always force it to be Text:

with somecell
.numberformat = "@"
.value = someothercell.text
end with
