Appending specific text at the end of every row depending on occurrence of a number

[manvit]

Hi,
I m new to VBA and my problem is explained below with example
i need to go from this :

rank	name
1	jon
2	alex
3	william
4	josh
5	jamies
1	sarah
2	angela
3	haley
4	julie
5	sofia

<tbody>
</tbody>

In this table , i need to append a text which has no column name. 'A' has to be appended the end of every row until the next occurrence of 1 in column rank . from the second occurrence of 1 in rank column i need 'B' to be append at the end of every row.
after applying the code, it should look like this.

rank	name
1	jon	A
2	alex	A
3	william	A
4	josh	A
5	jamies	A
1	sarah	B
2	angela	B
3	haley	B
4	julie	B
5	sofia	B

<tbody>
</tbody>

Any help on writing this code will be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Manvit

Try this for results in column "C"

[COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR] MG01Nov12
[COLOR="Navy"]Dim[/COLOR] Rng [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Range, Dn [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Range, c [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Long,[/COLOR] Temp [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]String[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Navy"]Set[/COLOR] Rng = Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
c = 64
[COLOR="Navy"]For[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Each[/COLOR] Dn [COLOR="Navy"]In[/COLOR] Rng
    [COLOR="Navy"]If[/COLOR] Dn.Value = 1 [COLOR="Navy"]Then[/COLOR]
        c = c + 1
        Temp = Chr(c)
    [COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] If
    Dn.Offset(, 2).Value = Temp
[COLOR="Navy"]Next[/COLOR] Dn
[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR]

No problem , Have a look at the below:-

[COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR] MG01Nov40
'[COLOR="Green"][B]Variables Declared[/B][/COLOR]
[COLOR="Navy"]Dim[/COLOR] Rng [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Range, Dn [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Range, c [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Long,[/COLOR] Temp [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]String[/COLOR]

'[COLOR="Green"][B]"Rng", Sets the range of data in column "A" to be looped through[/B][/COLOR]
[COLOR="Navy"]Set[/COLOR] Rng = Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))

'[COLOR="Green"][B]NB:- The Ascii codes from "65 to 90", give[/B][/COLOR]
'[COLOR="Green"][B]you a list of 'Characters "A to Z", so Chr(65") = "A"[/B][/COLOR]
c = 64

'[COLOR="Green"][B]Loop through column "A"[/B][/COLOR]
[COLOR="Navy"]For[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Each[/COLOR] Dn [COLOR="Navy"]In[/COLOR] Rng
  
  '[COLOR="Green"][B]When dn.value = 1 then c = 65 and Chr(65)= "A"[/B][/COLOR]
    [COLOR="Navy"]If[/COLOR] Dn.Value = 1 [COLOR="Navy"]Then[/COLOR]
        c = c + 1
        
        '[COLOR="Green"][B]So on first loop when "1" is found temp (string Variable) = "A", then[/B][/COLOR]
        '[COLOR="Green"][B]Next time Dn.value = "1" , c = 66 and Temp = "B" ect[/B][/COLOR]
        Temp = Chr(c)
    [COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] If
    
    '[COLOR="Green"][B]Column "C" value = Temp[/B][/COLOR]
    Dn.Offset(, 2).Value = Temp
[COLOR="Navy"]Next[/COLOR] Dn
[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR]

Try this:-
Change array "Subjects" as shown in Code !!

[COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR] MG01Nov42
[COLOR="Navy"]Dim[/COLOR] Rng [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Range, Dn [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Range, c [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Long,[/COLOR] Temp [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]String,[/COLOR] ray [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Variant
[COLOR="Navy"]Set[/COLOR] Rng = Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))

'[COLOR="Green"][B]Change the array below to Your specific subject[/B][/COLOR]
ray = Array("Physics", "Chem", "Maths", "English")


[COLOR="Navy"]For[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Each[/COLOR] Dn [COLOR="Navy"]In[/COLOR] Rng
    [COLOR="Navy"]If[/COLOR] Dn.Value = 1 [COLOR="Navy"]Then[/COLOR]
        c = c + 1
        Temp = ray(c - 1)
    [COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] If
    Dn.Offset(, 2).Value = Temp
[COLOR="Navy"]Next[/COLOR] Dn

[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR]

Thanks Mick ,
But it wouldn't work if i need to append words like 'Physics' and 'chemistry'. So do you have any idea about this ?
