i am trying to add two columns to an existing template and adding some formatting.
i am inserting a new column after A (so a new B) and a new column after M (so a new column N)
So the report initially ranged from A:N and once the new columns are inserted it should range from A:P

Well, once i run the macro, the entire report moves from A:N over to P:AC and the formatting that i did to the new B and N stay in B and N, but starting at B7 and N7 respectively (which is expected)

i jsut dont get what part of it is telling the macro to move over 15 columns

Here is the full code for it
Code:
Columns("B:B").Select
    Range("B3").Activate
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Range("A3:A4").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Range("B3:B4").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
        SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Range("A2:C2").Select
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .ColorIndex = 0
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = xlMedium
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .ColorIndex = 0
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = xlMedium
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .ColorIndex = 0
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = xlMedium
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .ColorIndex = 0
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = xlMedium
    End With
    Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal).LineStyle = xlNone
    Range("B6").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Date In Jeopardy?"
    Range("B6").Select
    With Selection
        .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Do you run this macro after the code I am helping you with in your other thread?

I don't follow what you're trying to do, but...

I'd suggest you split your screen, half with the sheet in one window and the other half with the macro in another window.
If you don't already know how to do that... bring the sheet up on the screen then hit the Window key and Left arrow key together, then bring the vba up on the screen and hit the Window key and Right arrow.
Now if you place the cursor within the macro and use the F8 key to step through the macro a line at a time and you will see in the sheet window what is happening with the execution of each line and can perhaps figure out where whatever it is you're looking for is happening.

Might also be a bit quicker....UNTESTED....in the car

Code:
Sub MM1()
Columns("B:B").Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Range("A3:A4").Copy
    Range("B3:B4").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
    Range("A2:C2").Select
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
    With Selection.Borders
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .ColorIndex = 0
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = xlMedium
    End With
    Range("B6").Value = "Date In Jeopardy?"
    With Range("B6")
        .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
        .VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
        .WrapText = True
    End With
    Range("B7:B16").Formula = "=IF(A7<=C7,""YES"",""NO"")"
    Columns("B:B").HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
    Columns("N:N").Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    Range("N6").Value = "Delivery Late?"
    Columns("N:N").ColumnWidth = 16.29
    Range("N7:N16").Formula = "=IF(M7<=TODAY(),""YES"",""NO"")"
   Columns("N:N").HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
    ActiveWindow.Zoom = 80
    Range("N:N,B:B").FormatConditions.Delete
    Range("N:N,B:B").FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlTextString, String:="YES", _
        TextOperator:=xlContains
    Range("N:N,B:B").FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).SetFirstPriority
    With Range("N:N,B:B").FormatConditions(1).Font
        .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark1
        .TintAndShade = 0
    End With
    With Range("N:N,B:B").FormatConditions(1).Interior
        .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
        .Color = 255
        .TintAndShade = 0
    End With
    Range("N:N,B:B").FormatConditions(1).StopIfTrue = False
