Good morning all,

I've hit a bit of a road block with some reporting and database automation and I was hoping one of you could help! I have a databse of product that I'm using to call certain data. For ease of reading the report I'd like to insert rows that have the summary of the product, then move on to the next product. Right now it's all manual, inserting rows, summing the cells above. For example:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 1162"]

I'm thinking it might be easiest to just have a set number of rows, regardless of the number of products, there might be empty rows, but it'd be easy to just "copy the SKUs here, every 15 ros, insert name, sum rows here". Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but the extra text (size,color) that is included in the product name column throws me off with a search and copy.

I appreciate any insight you guys might have!

Thanks for your response mumps! I'll give this a try

mumps, I'm running into an error "Unable to get the Find property of the WorksheetFunction class", debug sends me to the line I highlighted in red above. Any thoughts?

Are there any product names that do not contain round brackets, for example: Aloha T-Shirt (small, red)

Nope, everything has round brackets at the end, though some have more than one set. For example, Aloha T-Shirt (small, black (8100)), not sure if that makes a difference though? I really appreciate your help with this!

When I tested the macro on the data you posted, it worked without any errors. I think that it would be easier to help and test possible solutions if I could work with your actual file which includes any macros you are currently using. Perhaps you could upload a copy of your file to a free site such as www.box.com or www.dropbox.com. Once you do that, mark it for 'Sharing' and you will be given a link to the file that you can post here. If the workbook contains confidential information, you could replace it with generic data.

Yea, I'm not sure why it isn't working, I am testing it in a fresh file with limited data as to not create any issues with the main report I'm putting together. Here is the test file that I'm using, it has limited data but once I get this macro working, scaling it up shouldn't be a problem.

Replace this line of code:
Code: 
Set rng = Range("B2:B" & LastRow)
with this line:
Code: 
Set rng = Range("B3:B" & LastRow)

Oooof. SMH - I skimmed right over that line last night, thanks! This is very close to what I'm looking for! Is there any way to add a check, (maybe with InStr?) so that the products are grouped together if they have the same base name? So all the Mats would be together, Climbing Mats, etc. I've updated the test file in Dropbox so you can see what I mean
