vba, how to go to Col B in whatever row is active

[Harold Good]

Hi,

I'm new to VBA but didn't find the help I need online. I'd like some simple code to enable a client to add a new row to a budget cost center. There may be 20 cost centers, each with 4 rows for entering budget information in the budget form I give them. But some cost centers will need more detailed descriptions, thus another row or two may need to be added by the client.

I would like for them to be able to click once in any of the 4 rows (to make it the active cell) in a given cost center (the fifth row is a summary row), then either click a button or a execute key combination to add a new row within that cost center.

1. So the first thing the code needs to do is go to Column B while staying in the current row. I don't know how to do the code for this.

In Column B every cell has a Cost Center number. B5:B10 might be 64400; B11:B15 might be 63300.

2. So after the code arrives in Col B, I'd like it to move down until it finds the first cell which is not equal to the cell above it. That is where I'll insert the new row, keeping it within the same cost center rows.

If anyone can help with some code to do these two steps, I'd really appreciate it!

Thank you,
Harold

Wouldn't it be simpler to tell them to click the cell in that 4 cell
range that isn't equal to the one above and get them to hold Alt then
whilst holding it press I then R?, there is no way of determining which
cell has the mismatched value i.e should the code look up 3 cells from
where they clicked or down 3 cells?, would that be too far? perhaps in
to the next cost centre?, maybe a rethink on what you really want to
achieve, that said here's some code that will insert a row wherever you
click in column B, it goes in the worksheet code module that you are
working on

Code:
--------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column <> 2 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
Selection.EntireRow.Insert
End Sub
--------------------

I prefer to do it with VBA so I can also have it copy cost center number to
the new row, and all formating as well, including merged cells. Ctrl I,R
won't do all that.

I assumed it would be quite easy with VBA code to go to column B from
wherever the Activecell was, and then loop down checking to find the first
unequal cost center number. But maybe it isn't that simple.

Hey, thanks very much, that got me down the right road!

If its always check each cell downwards from the activecell how would
you know when to stop checking, as i can't see your workbook i can't
give an accurate answer, are you checking for an inequality to
distinguish the summary row from your data?

Most things are possible in VBA it's just we need more information and
a clearer picture in order to give you what you need, for further help
with it why not join our forums (shown in the link below) it's
completely free, if you do join you will have the opportunity to add
attachments to your posts so you can add workbooks to better illustrate
your problems and get help directly with them. Also if you do join
please post in this thread (link found below) so that people who have
