Hi All,

I am getting a PasteSpecial method of Range class failed" error
Please help code is below

C#

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application ExcelObj = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
                    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook theWorkbook = ExcelObj.Workbooks.Open(path, 0, true, 1, "", "", false, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlPlatform.xlWindows, "", true, false, 0, true, false, false);

                    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Sheets sheets = theWorkbook.Worksheets;
                    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet workSheet = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet)sheets.get_Item(1);
                    Range last = workSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(XlCellType.xlCellTypeLastCell,Type.Missing);
                    //Range wrange = workSheet.get_Range("A1",last);
                    Range r1 = ((Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range)workSheet.Cells[1, 1]).EntireColumn;
                    r1.Insert(XlInsertShiftDirection.xlShiftToRight,XlInsertFormatOrigin.xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove);
                    Range r2 = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range)workSheet.Cells[1, 1];
                    r2.Select();
                    r2.FormulaR1C1 = "=LEFT(RC[1],100)";
                    r2.Select();
                    Range r3 = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range)workSheet.get_Range("A1","A160237");
                    r2.AutoFill(r3,XlAutoFillType.xlFillCopy);
                    r3.Copy(r3);
                    sheets.Add(Type.Missing, workSheet, 1, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlSheetType.xlWorksheet);
                    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet workSheetA = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet)sheets.get_Item(2);
                    Range r4 = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range)workSheetA.Cells[1, 1];
                    r4.Select();
                    r4.PasteSpecial(XlPasteType.xlPasteValues, XlPasteSpecialOperation.xlPasteSpecialOperationNone,false,false);

Paste special is working fine in my VBA code

VBA code is as follow

Selection.Copy
    Sheets("Sheet3").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False

This thread is on the same issue :

The marked answer uses VB code but you should be able to get that converted to C#.

The core idea there is to use a fixed column width of 8. For more info on why that's needed, see:
