if c1="INDIANAPOLIS" and c2="Indianapolis" why is the statement after the if
statement never executed?
If c1.Value = c2.Value then
c1.Offset(0, 6) = c1.Offset(0, 6) + c2.Offset(0, 3)

It is never evaluated because the evaluation of text strings is case
sensitive. The easiest way to get around that would be:

If lcase(c1.Value) = lcase(c2.Value) then

One way

If UCase(Range("c1")) = UCase(Range("c2")) Then MsgBox "ok"

You could put

Option Compare Text

at the top of the code module to make ALL text comparisons case
insensitive ("A" = "a"). This setting applies to the entire module.

For a specific comparison, use

If StrComp(C1.Value, C2.Value, vbTextCompare) = 0 Then
' strings match
Else
' string don't match.
End If

The third parameter to StrComp can be vbTextCompare to ignore case,
vbBinaryCompare to use case, to use the database comparison settings,
or omitted. If omitted, the Option Compare Text is present in the
module, case is ignored. If omitted and Option Compare Text is not
present in the module, case matters.

Thanks Chip, once again you made my day.
