Help on writing a code to copy and amend lines
 

I have a document which shows project spend and cost of work done.

The rates are split into weekday, weekday overtime, weekend and weeken
overtime. Overtime is charged when one person works for over 7.5 hour
each day on the same project.

The data that is imported into the document only differentiates betwee
weekday and weekend work.

These show as rate 1 for weekday and rate 2 for weekend work.

Can anyone help me with a code which would take the number of hour
above 7.5 and put them into a new line which was then charged at th
overtime rate?

ie in the sample document attached line 18 shows as 8.5 hours worked o
saturday at rate 2. I would like this to show 7.5 hours on saturday a
rate 2 and then, on the line below, 1 hour at rate 4.

line 25 shows 10 hours on Monday at rate 1 which should split into 7.
hours at rate 1 and 2.5 hours at rate 3.

I am quite experienced at formulas, but new to VBA and macros, so an
help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Help on writing a code to copy and amend lines
 

Hi Karen

This is quite easy to achieve, and as most problems there are a couple of ways of doing this. The bellow code would be my favourate way of achieving this. (Please note in excel anything contained in "" will be assumed as a string)

If reference to first cell 7.5 the
reference to second cell = reference to first cell - 7.
reference to first cell = 7.
end i

If you are new to VBA then the references will still be quite difficult. The best way is to define your worksheets like variables

Dim varname1 as workshee
Set varname1 = Workbook("Workbook.xls").worksheets("sheet1"

You can then use the variable name you have used to reference the worksheet. calling cells is now very easy

Varname1.range("A1").valu

Simply change the range to whichever cell you wish. Welcome to the world of object oriented programming

Hope this has been helpful

Regards

Russell
