Bit of a newbie with Excel I'm afraid, and need some help with this
one.

What I need to do is this (by way of example):

Scan column A in a worksheet and for each cell in that column that
contains "Y", move (not copy) the contents of the cell in that row but
in column B to the cell in column C AND then delete the old contents of
the B cell.

ie if An="Y" then Cn=Bn AND Bn="" where "n" is any number.

Any ideas on this welcome ! No doubt there's a fairly easy way to do
it.

Hi morph000

Try the following code. Press <Alt<F11, select Insert|Module and paste

Option Explicit

Dim iLastRow As Long
Dim iText As Variant
Dim iRow As Long

Sub Testing()
iLastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
iRow = 1
iText = InputBox("What criteria do you want to use", "Enter Criteria",
vbOKCancel)
For iRow = iRow To iLastRow
If Range("A" & iRow).Value = iText Then
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
.Range("B" & iRow).Copy
.Range("C" & iRow).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
.Range("B" & iRow).ClearContents
End With
End If
Next iRow

End Sub

Hi morph

Did you copy and paste my code, or did you type it in?

On my side it works perfectly. If you typed it, I suggest you copy my code,
and paste it into your module?

Let me know!

Nope. No go, tried 2 P4 3GHz pc's with the same result. Both using Win
XP SP2 and Office XP Pro. Cut and pasted as I normally would. :(

Type of PC doesn't matter, most likely you have line wrapping, for instance

vbOKCancel)

should be on the same line as "Enter Criteria"

SkipBlanks _

should be on the same line as xlNone,
