What I would like:
I need to be able to copy only certain columns from another instance (Application) of excel that will be open, depending on the header.
What I have so far:
Sub Import_Data()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim c As Range
Dim headrng As Range
Dim lasthead As Range
Dim headrng1 As Range
Dim lasthead1 As Range
Dim LogDate As Range
Dim LastRow As Range
Dim BottomCell As Range
Dim MONTHrng As Range
Dim Lastrng As Range
Dim PRIhead As Range
Dim LOGhead As Range
Dim TYPEhead As Range
Dim CALLhead As Range
Dim DEShead As Range
Dim IPKhead As Range
Dim COPYrng As Range
Dim MONTHhead As Range
Dim YEARhead As Range
With ActiveWorkbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
End With

For Each c In headrng1
If Left(c, 1) = "-" Then c = Mid(c, 2, Len(c) - 1)

ErrorHandle:

What doesn't work:
The issue appears to be with the past function.
The error code:
PasteSpecial method of Range class failed
when debugging it highlights any of the following example of code:
.Range("F1").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
My Findings:
At the moment I am having issues pinning this down to an exact point of failure. It seems to be random as to which paste fails. Sometimes the function completes without issue at all. The only thing that I can think off that appears to get it to work each time is to have the worksheet I am pasting on to active BEFORE I run the macro. The reason for thinking this is because when I select to debug it, the worksheet makes the "RAW Data" sheet active and then when I press either F8 or F5 to debug or run the code. It works without making any other changes.
Other Notes:
- The workbook I am copying from is data exported from another application and I am wanting to fully automate a process. Therefore, this workbook has not been selected before the macro run. I am not sure if that would have any bearing on this issue?
