change firstrow variable to be the 2nd row value instead of the fi
 

I think the only reason this macro doesn't work is because the first row is
a header row.
It took me awhile to figure it out. It compares, cells (irow, 16) =
(irow,16 -1) to see if it is a new deparment. If it doesn't match it is a
new department. It works on every row except the last one, the top row.
Since the first row is a header not a real line the first row count should
start on row 2. Can you help me fix this. I think after that it should
create a header row on every new department even the last one (2nd row).
THANKS,

hey all, I found the problem on my own, sorry for the posts. The whole
problem I didn't see was the firstrow = 2 line.
I changed it to the
firstroww = 1 line and it works no, hacks.
Thanks,
