how to run a macro only if a cell contains a certain value
 

I have written a macro to divide a large spreadsheet into 5 smaller ones based on single character in one of the columns. One of the letters only appears on every other report which causes the macro to crash if it doesn't find the letter.
Is there any way to have Macro5 run only if the letter K is found in a cell in a specified column? I have tried and tried but cannot figure out how to get the macro to read a character in the cell - only a number.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Testing a letter is simple, something like

If Range("A1").Value = "K" Then
...

What code are you trying?

One way

Place this code at the start of the Macro


Sub MyMacro()
'dim Statements

If LCase(Range("a1").Value) < "K" Then
Exit Sub
End If

'your code here

End Sub

Shouldn't it be UCase instead of LCase? otherwise the macro never continues.
