Hello Gary,

is this what you are looking for


Sub adapt()
Dim rng As Range
Dim lLastRow As Integer
Dim lLastCol As Integer
Dim i As Integer
'Now we get the dimensions of the data
Set rng =
Worksheets("sheet2").Range("a1").SpecialCells(xlCe llTypeLastCell)
lLastRow = rng.Row
lLastCol = rng.Column
'Now for the loop
For i = 2 To lLastRow
'find cell wit less than 7 positions in col a and copy to col b
If Len(Cells(i, "a").Value) < 7 Then
Range("A" & i).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Range("b" & i).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
'find cell wit less than 7 positions in col a
'when content col a = col b
'copy content col a one row less to actual row col a
If Len(Cells(i, "a").Value) < 7 And Range("A" & i).Value = Range("b" &
i).Value Then
Range("A" & i - 1).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Range("a" & i).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
Next i
'adapt format cells in col b
Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "0000000"
End Sub
