InputBox for column letter problem

The second InputBox is to get the column letter of the last column to include in the code as the range to transfer a long column/s into several shorter column/s to the next sheet.

I want to be able to change nCols in this line to the column of my choice.

wks1.Range("A" & i & ":nCols" & i + nnCols).Copy wks2.Cells(1, j)...

I can hard code it to C, D or whatever and it works fine.

Thanks.

Option Explicit

Sub AcolumToNcolumns()

Dim wks1 As Worksheet, wks2 As Worksheet
Dim iColumn As Integer
Dim lLast As Long
Dim i As Long, j As Integer, y As Integer
Dim nRows As String
Dim nnCols As String
Dim nCols As String

nRows = InputBox("Colum No. of Rows.", "Enter value")
If nRows = vbNullString Then Exit Sub

nCols = InputBox("Colum A to Column ?", "Enter Column Letter")
If nCols = vbNullString Then Exit Sub

nnCols = nRows - 1

Set wks1 = Worksheets("One Column")
Set wks2 = Worksheets("N Columns")

lLast = wks1.Cells(wks1.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

j = wks2.Cells(1, wks2.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column

For iColumn = 1 To nRows
lLast = Application.Max(lLast, wks1.Cells(wks1.Rows.Count, _
iColumn).End(xlUp).Row)
Next iColumn

If lLast < nRows Then
MsgBox "Less than nnCols rows", vbOKOnly
Exit Sub
End If

For i = 1 To lLast Step nRows

wks1.Range("A" & i & ":nCols" & i + nnCols).Copy wks2.Cells(1, j)
j = wks2.Cells(1, wks2.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column + 1

' To cut data to sheet 2
'wks1.Range("A" & i & ":nCols" & i + nnCols).Cut wks2.Cells(1, j)
'j = wks2.Cells(1, wks2.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column + 1

Next

wks2.Activate
Columns("A:Z").HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
Application.Columns("A:Z").AutoFit

wks1.Activate
Set wks1 = Nothing
Set wks2 = Nothing

End Sub

change the line above to:
wks1.Range("A" & i & ":" & nCols & i + nnCols).Copy wks2.Cells(1, j)

Right on!! I was thinking the problem was with the InputBox not the syntax of the code line.

Works great!

Thanks Claus.
