Copy current row to clipboard and delete row

G

GKW in GA

I would like to create a macro that will copy the row of the cell that the
cursor is currently in and delete that row.

How to do?

Hi,

The 2 lines below will do what you require but you need to do something in
between because when you delete the row you lose the copied data.

ActiveCell.EntireRow.Copy
'Do something with the copied data i.e paste it somewhere else
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Delete

The number of modifications that are available in VBA for
ActiveCell is amazing to me. Can you (or anyone else) suggest a
good book with a reasonably complete list of functions,
prefererably one that also teaches VBA for Excel?

Thanks, that looks like a good bet. I've used his "Excel 2002
formulas" for a long time; so much so that I have the PDF
version on disk.
