Question

So here is what I want to do in VBA:
Find the value in E10, copy the row it is in, paste the row somewhere else (doesn’t matter as long as I can find it) then finding the next row with the value E10 and doing the same thing, etc, until I reach the end of the spreadsheet

I’m really new to VBA and macros in general, so any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Generally speaking you’ll find that asking questions without explaining “what have you tried” tends to be frowned upon in these parts.

I suggest that you take a look at this somewhat similar question that I answered just earlier today:

Copy & Paste row of data in Excel 2003 to different sheet by Email search

The principal differences between that one and your need are:

• Instead of an InputBox, you’ll use the value in E10 to run the .Find method; and
• You need to create a loop. You still run the .Find method as shown in my example but you do it in a loop until you’ve looped through every instance of the value in E10 in the sheet. (Get the address of the first range that you find, and keep running the .Find method until you get back to that address.) Look up the While statement and the For statement in VBA help for examples on how to create a loop.

To get the value of an individual cell one way is just to create a reference to the cell range, then query the .Value property. For example a fully qualified reference could be:

Thisworkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("E10").value

There are other syntaxes which will yield the same result, but you can learn about those in time. Recording your actions using the Macro Recorder is a good way to learn about properties and methods. The problem is that in yet another part of the Excel 2010 interface that I detest, Microsoft has decided to hide the thing. To get to the Macro editor, go to File -> Options -> Customise Ribbon and turn on the Developer tab.

Give all of that a try and if you get stuck with something specific, post again with the details.
