Copy Paste Down Macro

M

MCheru

I am trying to create a macro that will search A3:G100 for blank rows. When
a blank row is found, I want the macro to copy the contents in the cell above
it A(blank):G (blank) and paste those contents in each blank row going down
((A(blank):G (blank)) until the next row with contents is reached. Is that
possible?

This should do it:

Sub FillBlankRows()
Dim BlankCell As Integer
Dim r As Long
Dim col As Long

For r = 3 To 100
For col = 1 To 7
If Cells(r, col).Value = "" Then
BlankCell = BlankCell + 1
End If
Next
If BlankCell = 7 Then
Range("A" & r - 1 & ":G" & r - 1).Copy Range("A" & r)
End If
BlankCell = 0
Next
End Sub

Hopes it helps

Hi there,
i have a similar request so you might able to help...

i have a spread sheet where i have to record some events.
the first row is already formatted and the first cell has a number 1.
i would like a macro to automatically create another line each time I press
a button and that would increase the number of the first cell from the
previous line.

i have found this one:

Lastrow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Rows(Lastrow).Copy
Rows(Lastrow).Insert
Rows(Lastrow + 1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).ClearContents

but it only add the row without increasing the cell in column a

hope you can help.
thanks

Hello

Try this:

LastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Rows(LastRow).Copy
Rows(LastRow).Insert
Rows(LastRow + 1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).ClearContents
Cells(LastRow + 1, 1) = Cells(LastRow, 1) + 1

here i am again..

there was something i haven't thought; the sheet will be protected and when
running the macro an error appears (run-time error'1004')

is there a way to make the macro work even if te heet is protected?

thanks

Hi again

You have to unprotect the sheet by macro the do your stuff and protect the
sheet again:

Sheets("Sheet1").UnProtect Password:="JustMe"
'Your code
Sheets("Sheet1").Protect Password:="JustMe"

Hopest this helps.

Hello

Post your entire code, state the the error message and let me know which
line is highlighted when you click debug.

Sheets("ShutdownEvents").Unprotect Password:="qaz"
LastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Rows(LastRow).Copy
Rows(LastRow).Insert
Rows(LastRow + 1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).ClearContents
Cells(LastRow + 1, 1) = Cells(LastRow, 1) + 1
Sheets("ShutdownEvents").Protect Password:="qaz"
End Sub

and the error msg is:
Run time error 1004
insert method of range class failed

and it doesn't give me the option to debug but only to end

Hello,
Insert a breakpoint after the line LastRow = ...., and run the macro. What
is the value of LastRow (place the mousepointer over the variable to see it)
?

Then try to qualify the sheet as you calculate LastRow:

LastRow = Sheets("ShutdownEvents").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

Does it make any difference?

Hopes this helps.
