Insert Blank Line and Sort

S

Saxman

Within a worksheet I have an example of data below consisting of four
columns.

I need to put a blank line in between the Racecourse (where they change)
and after do a sort on Rating (high to low).

Is it possible?

I could do it with a macro, but am unable to fathom out how to deal with a
differing number of horses at each racecourse.

I found this bit of code from the OzGrid site which inserts a blank row
where there is a change of data.

Sub InsertDividers()
'
' on active sheet, move down thru column A
' If current cell Is Not the same As previous
' insert a row.
' stop when current testing cell In A:A Is empty
'
Dim lngRow As Long

lngRow = 3
Do While Cells(lngRow, 1) <> ""
If Cells(lngRow, 1) <> Cells(lngRow - 1, 1) Then
' change In NAME value so insert row
Rows(lngRow).Insert
lngRow = lngRow + 1
End If
lngRow = lngRow + 1
Loop

End Sub

All I need is to sort each group of data in column 4 high to low.

hi,

Sub Macro1()
rws = Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Row
For i = Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
If Range("B" & i - 1) <> Range("B" & i) Then
Rows(i & ":" & rws).Sort Key1:=Range("D" & i), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlNo
Rows(i).Insert Shift:=xlDown
rws = i - 1
End If
Next
End Sub

Thanks isabelle. Had a quick go at this and it certainly sorts. I just
need to amend the ranges to 'D' I think? Off to a beer festival now.
Will have another go Saturday.
