Thank you MSweetG222 for your suggestion. I will work with your idea this

In Col K, title it "Related Records" and insert the following formula =IF(RIGHT(A2,4)="Root",A2,K3) for all record rows. I think you will get the general idea of the formula. Modify it as needed to fit your case. This will give your records a key that ties them together. Copy & paste col K as values. 2. determine all the unique keys in the Related Records column 3. create a loop using the Related Records column 4. Autofilter the Related Records column for the 1st value (ex. 4 Root) 5. Copy & paste visible cells to desired location 6. Delete Column K 7. Save w/b or any other steps you need to perform 8. Continue until completed The key is to create a relationship between the various rows. Hope this gives you a starting point. Column A contains the text "Root" and then rows of data before the next "Root" in column A. I need to find the first instance of "Root" copy that [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] Mark. -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |
