VBA Simple Copying one Range to Another Range

This is a reall开发者_开发百科y simple VBA formula but it's failing. It's only pasting into cell A6 onwards. Is it just me? Excel 2011 by the way.

Range("A4:A5").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("A6:A1000").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

I think the issue is that you have two different values in A4 and A5 and so excel can only repeat those values in the paste range if the paste range is an even number of cells.

This works for me:

Range("A4:A5").Copy Destination:=Range("A6:A1001")

Note that A6:1001 is 996 cells (an even number). Using A6:A1000 is 995 and is an odd number so excel cannot work out how to repeat your values from A4 to A5.

I think this is the issue...but happy to be educated otherwise...
