Don Guillett originally helped with the following macro to insert lines
It worked perfectly...until today. I went in to the spreadsheet an
tried to use it and I got a runtime error '13' on the line beginnin
mynum=

I have attached the code that is giving the error, and another on
which is identical. The second one works without any problem. Wh
would the first one not work anymore, when it once had?


Code
-------------------

Sub addtasks()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
myrow = Cells.Find("Total P&C Estimate").Row - 3
mycell = Cells(myrow, 2)
mynum = Right(mycell, Len(mycell) - InStr(mycell, "#")) + 1

With Range(Cells(myrow, 2), Cells(myrow + 2, 2))
.EntireRow.Copy
.EntireRow.insert Shift:=xlDown
End With

Application.CutCopyMode = False
Cells(myrow + 3, 2) = "Task#" & mynum
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

End Sub

Code
-------------------

Sub addtask()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
myrow = Cells.Find("Total Central Maintenance Shops Estimate").Row - 12
mycell = Cells(myrow, 2)
mynum = Right(mycell, Len(mycell) - InStr(mycell, "#")) + 1

With Range(Cells(myrow, 2), Cells(myrow + 11, 2))

Hi tanyhart,

myrow = Cells.Find("Total P&C Estimate").Row - 3

This line of code will fail if the text "Total P&C Estimate" is not found on
the active worksheet. What do you want to happen if that text is not found?
Or is it possible that the code is running when a different sheet is active?

sounds like the data you are processing is causing the error.

do you have any error values in that data?

Sorry - misread your question and looked at the wrong line. Please
disregard.

Just an added thought for the benefit of the OP.

that's true, but I wouldn't see that causing a type mismatch error (error
13) two lines later.
