It's exactly what I wanted.

Thanks everyone.

Hi,

thanks very much for your help.
It's doing what I want except for one thing.
This procedure is summing the correct rows but leaves the resulting
calculation as values, and I need to have the actual sum function in those
cells (the built in sum worksheet function), as if I typed directly in
the
cells "=Sum(b3:b15)"

For i = 1 To 7

Next i

sr = mr + 1

Hi,

Can someone please help me how to write this procedure.
I'm just beginning to learn vba so I don't know which methods and
properties to use.
What I want to do is this:
Go through every row (3 until 150) on column A and if the character "*"
(asterisk) is found in each of these rows then write the following
formulas
on each column. ex: sum(b3:b15),sum(c3:c15)....sum(h3:h15) assuming
that
the
asterisk is found on row 15.
Then start looking for an asterisk again and when it is found write the
same
formulas , but this time the sum will only include the rows that were
not
included previoulsy.ex: sum(b16:b28),sum(c16:c28)....sum(h16:h28) (I'm
assuming the asterisk is found on row 28).
The sum has to be written in every row which has an asterisk, the
formula
is
repeated in every column from B to H.
thanks
