I have written the following sub which loops to test
whether a cell is in bold font. If this is true then I've
said insert a row. My code is below and I have three
questions.
Sub format_InsertRows()

Dim lngLastRow As Long
Dim i As Long

Worksheets("data").Select

With ActiveSheet
lngLastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 6).End(xlUp).Row

For i = 2 To lngLastRow
If .Cells(i, 6).Font.Bold = True Then .Cells(i,
6).EntireRow.Insert
Next

End With

End Sub

(1) My if statement inserts a row in the wrong place. I'd
like a row inserted AFTER the row in bold. How do I do
that without messing up my i counter? Do I use offset?

(2) Because my if statement inserts a row before the cell
in bold the same cell is then tested again and another row
inserted. I've tried working backwards using the step -1
but this wasn't very successful. I guess this can be
resolved as part of question 1.

(3) My data in the test cell is shown in three styles
not bold (do not insert row)
bold (insert row)
bold + italic (do not insert row)

how do I ensure that a row is inserted for the bold font
cells only, ie not the ones it finds in a bold + italic
font.

Does this make sense? Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi jacqui,

(1) You can simply add 1 to your variable i when referring to the range:

If .Cells(i, 6).Font.Bold = True Then .Cells(i + 1, 6).EntireRow.Insert

However, this will screw things up because you're stepping foward through
the rows.

(2,3) Stepping backward should work:

Sub format_InsertRows()
Dim lngLastRow As Long
Dim i As Long

With Worksheets("data")
lngLastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 6).End(xlUp).Row

For i = lngLastRow To 2 Step -1
If .Cells(i, 6).Font.Bold And _
Not .Cells(i, 6).Font.Italic Then
.Cells(i + 1, 6).EntireRow.Insert
End If
Next

End With
End Sub

Jacqui,
Try this
Sub format_InsertRows()

Dim lngLastRow As Long
Dim i As Long

Worksheets("data").Select

With ActiveSheet
lngLastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 6).End(xlUp).Row

For i = lngLastRow To 2 Step -1
If .Cells(i, 6).Font.Bold _
And Not (.Cells(i, 6).Font.Italic) Then
.Cells(i + 1, 6).EntireRow.Insert
End If
Next

End With

Hi Jake

Thank you for your reply, the code worked a treat. I'd
overlooked the Not statement.
Thanks again.

Jacqui,

No problem - glad to help. You can also use "variable < True" or "variable
= False", but I find "Not variable" to be quicker to type.
