I have the following text and values in E1 to F3

MRTB Bal owing -209562
CMTRQ Bal owing -368012
SRQE Bal owing -30171.3




Where the text to the left in E1 to E3 is the same as Col E from row 8 onwards and col D contains Bal B/FWD, then copy the value in Col F where the text to the left is the same as the text in Col E from row 8 onwards and paste as special values in Col G with the minus sign to removed in the same row as the criteria appears

For eg if BRTB and Bal B/FWD are in row 8 , then paste the value with the minus sign removed in G8


I have tried to write code to do this but only zeroes are being pasted

Code:
 Sub CopyBalances_YearEnd()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim LastRow As Long
    Dim i As Long
    
    ' Set the worksheet you want to work with (Change "Details" to your sheet's name)
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Details")
    
    ' Find the last row in the worksheet
    LastRow = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row
    
    ' Loop through each row in the worksheet
    For i = 8 To LastRow ' Assuming data starts from row 8, change if needed
        If InStr(1, ws.Cells(i, "E").Value, "MRTB") > 0 Then
            If InStr(1, ws.Cells(i, "D").Value, "Bal B/FWD") > 0 Then
                ' Copy balance from column F, remove '-' if present, and paste as a value
                ws.Cells(i, "F").Value = Abs(ws.Cells(i, "F").Value)
                ws.Cells(i, "F").Copy
                ws.Cells(i, "G").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
            End If
        ElseIf InStr(1, ws.Cells(i, "E").Value, "CMTRQ") > 0 Then
            If InStr(1, ws.Cells(i, "D").Value, "Bal B/FWD") > 0 Then
                ' Copy balance from column F, remove '-' if present, and paste as a value
                ws.Cells(i, "F").Value = Abs(ws.Cells(i, "F").Value)
                ws.Cells(i, "F").Copy
                ws.Cells(i, "G").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
            End If
        ElseIf InStr(1, ws.Cells(i, "E").Value, "SRQE") > 0 Then
            If InStr(1, ws.Cells(i, "D").Value, "Bal B/FWD") > 0 Then
                ' Copy balance from column F, remove '-' if present, and paste as a value
                ws.Cells(i, "F").Value = Abs(ws.Cells(i, "F").Value)
                ws.Cells(i, "F").Copy
                ws.Cells(i, "G").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub


Your assistance in this regard is most appreciated

Below code does exactly as per sheet After.
(Though I do not understand why the new output value of columm G are exact old balance in F1:F3! )
VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Sub CopyBalance_YearEnd()
Dim lr&, i&, j&, Data, Amount, list, id As String
With Sheets("Details")
    list = .Range("E1:F5").Value  ' criteria range
    lr = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row ' last used row
    Data = .Range("D8:E" & lr).Value ' range with criteria data
    Amount = .Range("F8:G" & lr).Value ' range with amount data, need to be changed
    For i = 1 To UBound(Data)
        id = Data(i, 2) & " " & Left(Data(i, 1), 3) & " owing" ' generate string, i.e, "MRTB Bal owing" or "MRTB 100 owing"
        For j = 1 To UBound(list)
            If list(j, 1) = id Then ' if id string exists in criteria range, i.e, "MRTB Bal owing":
                Amount(i, 2) = -list(j, 2) ' replace column G with - F1:F3
                Amount(i, 1) = 0 ' column F = 0
            End If
        Next
    Next
    .Range("F8").Resize(UBound(Amount), 2).Value = Amount
End With
End Sub

Solution
Many thanks for the help. The balance of the rows where Bal B/FWD is in Col D is deleted when starting the new financial year
