Hello,

I've seen many posts regarding the subjects but do not feel that I
know how to clear programatically the Office/Excel clipboard

I'm looking for a code that will do a similar operation as clearing
manually from the clipboard window in Excel 2010

Has the issue a known and robust solution?

Best regards
Avi

Are you saying that...

Application.CutCopyMode = False

...does not clear the clipboard in XL2010?

Would you consider avoiding the use of the clipboard? Would this work
for your needs?

Bypassing Clipboard while copying values or formula in Excel

Submitted by Vishesh on 9 January, 2010 - 18:04

In VBA, to Copy Values from range A1:A5 to B1 you will generally write

Sheet1.Range("A1:A5").Copy
Sheet1.Range("B1").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

Another method: write the following function in the code window

Sub CopyValues(rngSource As Range, rngTarget As Range)
rngTarget.Resize(rngSource.Rows.Count, rngSource.Columns.Count).Value
= rngSource.Value
End Sub

and call the above function using the following line of code wherever
you need to paste values

Call CopyValues(Sheet1.Range("A1:A5"), Sheet1.Range("B1"))

The source or target can be anywhere on any sheet or any workbook Copy
Formula You can use the similar approach like following:

Sheet1.Range("A3:A5").Formula = Sheet1.Range("A2").FormulaR1C1

Advantage of using this method of Copying Value and Formula

1. No use of Clipboard - just assigning values/formula; hence it is faster.

2. You must have observed screen flickering in some of the Excel Tools
which at times is there even after using screenupdating - but using this
there is no screen flicker.

3. Less use of memory.
