Don, Oh, I agree completely! However, depending on the experience level of the person asking the question, it may not be enough to know that you CAN'T do it. Personally, I'd need to know WHY. There's been far too many times that someone has said (to me or others) that something can't be done simply because they haven't been able to do it.
In fact, I'm a firm believer that ANYTHING can be done. All it takes is time and money. If I were told that something cannot be done, then I'd simply keep looking for another way to do the same thing. If I were told WHY it cannot be done, then I may decide that the time (and money) required to do it isn't worth the effort. For example: If it were REALLY important that I be able to do what he's asking, then I'd build my own "undo stack". Either virtually, or within the application. For instance, in his macro I'd use a hidden sheet to store the Range's current formulas, then do the PasteSpecial. If I needed to "undo" it, then I'd use a macro to restore the formulas. This would be a single-step undo, I wouldn't be able to go back several steps. To do multi-levels, I'd have to either use multiple sheets, or look into virtual multi-dimensional arrays. But then again, I'd REALLY have to want to do it (or someone pay me enough to REALLY want to do it) Paul ----------------------------------------- “Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.” - John Wesley ----------------------------------------- ________________________________ From: dguillett1 <dguille...@gmail.com> To: excel-macros@googlegroups.com Sent: Wed, March 7, 2012 9:48:44 AM Subject: Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Re: modification in paste special macro.

First of all, you should NOT simply change the topic of somone else's discussion thread and ask your own question. That's called "hijacking a thread", and is extremely bad form. Secondly... When you select a range of cells and copy/paste special -Values, Excel does a bunch of stuff behind-the-scenes. One thing it does is that it takes the current values and copies them to the "undo stack". This stack list is displayed whenever you use the undo "pull-down". You'll also notice that it operates in a last-in-first-out sequence. (the last thing you did is the first thing that can be reversed) (in other programming environments, putting something on the stack is called a "push" to the stack, and retrieving from the stack is called a "pop" from the stack) When you created your macro, you effectively bypass making the entry into the "undo stack". I haven't done much stack programming in a number of years (and never in Excel) I'm not sure if you can manually push anything to the stack. So.. Don's answer may be much more concise, as well as serving two purposes: "No", you cannot push the pastespecial to the undo stack, and "No", you should not use someone else's discussion thread for your own unrelated question.
