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

[Janis]

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,

'first if block creates the Item Name headers


If .Cells(iRow, 16).Value = .Cells(iRow - 1, 16).Value Then

' if the department is the same as previous
'create the status headers


Else
'if the department is a new department add the row header

.Rows(iRow).Insert
.Range(.Cells(iRow, 1), .Cells(iRow, 26)).Interior.ColorIndex = 15

.Cells(iRow, 3).Font.Bold = True

.Cells(iRow, 3).RowHeight = 18

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,
