I was wondering if it is possible to insert a line without a direct cell
reference.
This is exactly what I am trying to do...

I have import files that have many different lines...(each one is unique).
I wrote a macro to go thru the many tedious steps, except I am stuck on the
line insertion part....I do a data sort for column "C", and then I do a find
for "X" (which is a separation point). What I want to happen is for the
macro to find "X" and insert a line above it, regardless of which row "X" is
on. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!!!

Frantic,

Columns("C:C").Find(What:="X", _
LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole).EntireRow.Insert

One more Q - I played with this and got it to work before I got your reply,
but I did nt add the "look in" string...is that important since I want to
find an X within an account number????

Frantic,

The lookin isn't really that important unless you want to ignore values (the
results of formulas) and look at formulas themselves. Just don't use the
LookAt:=xlWhole - change that to xlPart instead.

I know this is an old thread, but maybe you can assisst.

I have a list of data and I would like to insert a row after a change in
data in column A.

Sample data

A B

State Code State


1 Alabama Total


Hence, I would like to create a macro insert a row when "xx state" changes!


Thanks,
