I want to write a macro where I go to a webpage, copy two rows of six values, return to my worksheet and paste those values into and area where I make several calculations. I then want to copy and paste the results of the calculations into a cell adjacent to an item in one of three lists on the worksheet. My macro will paste the data but then halt with an error saying the paste special failed. I appreciate any help you can offer... I'm a novice at this but can see the power.
Tks

use the macro recorder - then edit your code heavily.
test your code regularly and back-track if it breaks.
then search on the code you don't understand and you'll find lots of commentary on how to improve the recorded code.
Please post the code you have so far.

Sub PasteHeatmap()
' PasteHeatmap Macro
On Error GoTo ErrorTrap
With ActiveSheet
.AutoFilterMode = False
.Cells(1, 1).Activate
.Cells.ClearContents
.Cells(1, 1).Select
.PasteSpecial Format:="Text", Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False
.UsedRange
End With
Exit Sub
ErrorTrap:
MsgBox "Did you remember to hit 'copy'?"
End Sub
Activesheet is important here - I never use it willingly

activesheet.usedrange is a handy trick to reset the used range property
