Copy & Paste multiple cells & rows in VBA excel

I have to copy multiple rows in VBA excel repeatedly.

Does anyone knows some shorter solution how to make this?

My current solution looks like this:

'Select row with sun altitude values
Range("A11:A277").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("EE11:EE277").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
'Select row 11
Range("B11:EB11").Copy
Range("EF11").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF37").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF41").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF71").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF101").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF131").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF161").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF191").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF221").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF251").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
'Select column B and paste in every next columns
Range("B11:B277").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("EF11").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("FU11").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("FX11").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("HM11").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("HQ11").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("JF11").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

In general I have to copy 10 the same rows and at least 6 the same columns. The exact distance between every row is 30 interspersed in every 26, as per above and in the picture attached. I have seen previous solution for copy multiple cells in VBA provided, however it refers more for issues with external workbooks.

Thanks & regards,enter image description here

Solution

  • By combining the Areas into one Range with Commas. So this:

    'Select row 11
Range("B11:EB11").Copy
Range("EF11").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF37").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF41").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF71").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF101").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF131").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF161").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF191").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF221").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("EF251").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

    becomes

    'Select row 11
Range("B11:EB11").Copy
Range("EF11,EF37,EF41,EF71,EF101,EF131,EF161,EF191,EF221,EF251").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

    If the Rows are pasted at a regular interval, you could use a Loop, either to pate, or to build a Range

    For i = 1 to 17 Step 4 'Paste every 4 rows
    Cells(136,i).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues 'Paste in column EF, a.k.a. column 136
Next i

    or

    Set RngTmp = Cells(136,1)
For i = 5 to 17 Step 4 'Paste every 4 rows
    Set RngTmp = Union(RngTmp, Cells(136,i)) 'Add the next cell to the range
Next i
RngTmp.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues 'Paste to all cells in the range
