I have a spread sheet logging production on 3 shifts. I need to
automatically draw a line in the sheet every time the shift changes
like this

A B C D
Shift Part No Qty shift total
0
a ive 0533 23
a ive 9080 45
a ive 4838 13 81
b ive 4838 45
b ive 9937 23 68
c ive 9937 47
c ive 9937 23
c rvi 1715 23
c rvi 1715 25 118
a rvi 1715 13
a rvi 1715 15 28
b rvi 0444 35
b ive 7661 23
b ive 7661 14 72

A line under all 4 columns everytime the entry in col A differs from
the previous one i.e. when the shift changes

Thanks
