5 rows by 2000 columns is completely the wrong approach to using spreadsheets.

Please think about having 2000 rows of 5 columns, it is more sensible that way.

Solution 1

It is actually very easy, and I will give you the code.
However, before I do I just need to know if the columns are fixed, ie you want columns D, H, L, etc?

If so, something like this...

Range("F:F,H:H,J:J,L:L").Select

Should do the trick.

Here is the code that does the trick,

Sub test1()<br />
<br />
Dim i As Integer<br />
Dim j As Integer<br />
Dim a As Double<br />
<br />
<br />
For i = 1 To 10000        ' counter, from 1 to 672<br />
j = 4 * i - 3             ' steps<br />
Sheets("sheet1").Select 'Sheet you get the data from<br />
Cells(1, j).Select<br />
a = Selection<br />
<br />
Sheets("sheet2").Select 'Sheet you want to copy the date to<br />
Cells(1, i).Value = a<br />
<br />
Next i<br />
<br />
<br />
End Sub
