Using EXCEL VBA, I want to copy a row of cells of variable length and paste into a column at the first blank row in the column

In trying to modify code from previous expert help, I am trying to use the following line to copy a row of length NrOpns from "Sheet 1" and paste into "Sheet 2" in the first non-blank cell.

See attached spreadsheet for illustration.

'Copy row of value of length NrOpns from "Sheet1" into "Sheet2"
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("C" & firstRow, "C" & firstRow + NrOpns - 1).String = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range(Cells(2, 9), Cells(2, 9 + NrOpns)).String

As is, it causes VB to choke. If I change .string to .value, it only copies the first cell (2,9) into NrOpns number of rows in Sheet2.

Sorry not clear what you want to copy.

Best way is you to fill Sheet2 with the results then will built the VBA accordingly.

goflow, did you see the attached spreadsheet for illustration? Just using a Macro recording to build the VB won't work because I am using a variable number for the number of columns in Sheet1.

I didn't say use a macro recording.

I said fill the sheet2 with the result to see an example of how you want the data transferred as your notes and explanation got me now where in understanding what you want.

I have updated the code from my last example to include this functionality

Sub CopyPart()
    Dim firstRow As Long, stepCount As Long, i As Long
    
    firstRow = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
    stepCount = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("H3").Value
    
    Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A" & firstRow, "A" & firstRow + stepCount - 1).Value = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A3").Value
    
    For i = 0 To stepCount - 1
        Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("C" & firstRow + i).Value = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(2, i + 9)
    Next
    
End Sub
