loop for-next with variable end
Dear experts,
I need to perform a long loop with many actions on a numer of rows; these actions may result in incrementing the # of rows, and I had used a for - next loop but it does not work, as the end value always stays the same as in the beginning, even if the corresponding variable gets changed during the loop. To give you an example a=1 b=10 For i = a to b 'ACTIONS b=b+5 Next i This does not change b, it will always stay 10, but in my case I need it to get changed... Can somebody please help me? Thanks! Kind regards Valeria |

Hi,
I suppose you are adding rows after the current row being processed which pushes the upper boundary each time. Instead, start by the bottom row and process going up. a=1 b=10 For i = b to a Step -1 'ACTIONS Next i -- Regards, Sébastien <http://www.ondemandanalysis.com "Valeria" wrote: Dear experts, I need to perform a long loop with many actions on a numer of rows; these actions may result in incrementing the # of rows, and I had used a for - next loop but it does not work, as the end value always stays the same as in the beginning, even if the corresponding variable gets changed during the loop.

You can not change the boundries of a loop within the loop itself and it is
considered to be VERY bad practice to change the counter (i in your case) within the loop itself. Either determine the size of the loop ahead of time or use a do while or do until loop... -- HTH...

Valeria,
It sounds like you are inserting rows - in which case, it is better to step upwards: a = 1 b = 10 for i = b to a step -1 'Actions that insert rows?
