Search for subtotals

[Teak]

I wld like to start at cell D3. Then search for any subtotals downwards.
If found, say cell D15, outline the upper border (ie btw D14 & D15),
and insert a line below D15 (I find this difficult becos inserted line is
always above, not below)

This should continue until end of data rows.

Thanks.

Hi
try the following macro. It tests column A and inserts a blank row if
the word 'subtotal' is found
Sub insert_rows()
Dim lastrow As Long
Dim row_index As Long

lastrow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.count, "A").End(xlUp).row
For row_index = lastrow - 1 To 1 Step -1
If InStr(Cells(row_index, "A").Value,"Subtotal")>0 then
Cells(row_index + 1, "A").EntireRow.Insert (xlShiftDown)
End If
Next
End Sub
