Code:
Dim LastRow As LongDim erow As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim strComp


LastRow = Sheet2.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Sheet2.Select
Range("A1").Select


For i = 2 To LastRow


    
    strComp = Cells(i, 3)
    If InStr(1,strComp,"Fuel Consumed")= 1 Then
    erow = Sheet4.Cells(Rows.Count, 9).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
    Range(Cells(i, 1), Cells(i, 4)).Copy Destination:=Sheet4.Range("I" & erow)
    End If



Im trying to search a column for a rows with the phrase "Fuel Consumed" in it then paste the rows with matching criteria in it into another sheet. I have a version of this that uses a date range and works.

Im getting an Sytax error at the "If" line.

Copy PDF to Excel
Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
I unfortunately cant do it that way. Im actually going to be combining it with other code to make it a nested loop with data being distributed throughout the workbook. Im just trying to get the syntax of the InStr Function correct.

StrComp is a function, which is why you are getting the problem.
Change the name of your variable
