VBA Excel 2010 - Paste directly from clipboard

Question

I am trying to paste directly from the clipboard into an excel document and have it so it is transposed

Dim DataObj As MSForms.DataObject
 Set DataObj = New          


        

Answer 1

I think you need to specify target where to paste and on it call PasteSpecial method. You cant call pasteSpecial method of string as you trying. (because of that error with object required)

Take a look at this

Sub testPaste()

    Dim DataObj As MSForms.DataObject
    Set DataObj = New MSForms.DataObject
    DataObj.GetFromClipboard

    strPaste = DataObj.GetText(1)

    Sheets("Sheet2").Rows(1).PasteSpecial Transpose:=True

End Sub
