  Asked By: Almas    Date: Oct 02    Category: MS Office    Views: 624
  

I have an excel sheet which looks like this
A b
1 Projects Cost
2 Project1 $40
3 Project2 $50
4 Project3 $30
5 Total Projects $100
I want to to take every cell in Column A that is between the titles
Projects and Total Projects an perform an add $10 for each cell in
column B.
The titles never change but the position of item in rows
change evry
month , because I might have anoth row called project$, that why i can not ust the row number.
Any help is appreciated, i just do not know the exact code in vb

I'm sorry but I don't see why the row  is important. Assuming you are
sorting your data ... Would a formula do the job or do you really want
to use VBA?
The formula could do an INSTR or FIND for Project and then add  $10 to
the value of Col B if found to another column.
You could even reference another cell  for the 10$ in vase that chnged.

If it's only a once a month operation, a manual intervention might be
easiest. Using a cut/paste-special-operation-add combination would do this
quickly and efficiently. Excel help  has a good explanation of this.

My only concern using the
formulas is that I have another category which has the same projects
name , so I want only the projects  that are between the titles i
mentionned:
A b
1 Opeartion Projects Cost
2 Project1 $40
3 Project2 $50
4 Project3 $30
5 Total operation  Projects $100

6 Capital Projects
2 Project1 $40
3 Project2 $50
4 Project3 $30
5 Total Capital Projects $100


So Like I said i only want to perform  an operation on the projects
that are between the titles Operation Projects and Total Operation
Projects and not the ones that are between Capital
I can not change  the title of thes projects.
