Find and Move a specific cell

Posted by Sebastien on September 28, 2001 6:11 AM

Hello,
I'm importing data from a text file, with no way to filter it correctly.
I need to find a specific word and then to move the corresponding cell upper...
I'm able to do this action for the first occurence, I need that the VBA macro do all the sheet ! Please Help Me !!!
I've tried a lot of way (to filter, data sort), but no way.

Here is my code :
For i = 1 To 145
Cells.Find(what:="*ms", lookat:=xlPart, searchorder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False).Activate
Selection.Cut
ActiveCell.Offset(-4, 1).Activate
ActiveSheet.Paste
Next i
When macro tries to find the next occurence, it find the same cell, and so on...

Thanks in advance for your help
Best Regards
Sebastien

I haven't tested this, but i think it'll work for you.

Sub copypaste()
Dim F as Long

For F = 1 to 145 'I assumed this are Rows, right ?
If Cells(F,5) like "*ms" then 'Assumed checking Column E, if not, change 5 to corresponding number A=1, B=2, etc.
Cells(F-4,5+1) = Cells(F,5) 'Offset(-4,1)
Cells(F,5) = ""
End If
Next F

End Sub
