moving a row of cells within a range (drag n drop type thing)

[RobbieC]

Hi there, I have been puzzling over this for a while, but I cannot come up with any form of solution.

I have a series of rows in a range - they are all grouped in a series of 2 rows containing data

I have a maximum of 40 rows, so I can have 20 'double line' entries on my sheet - the rest of the sheet is full of data, so I am only looking at Range E10:K49

Each of these 'double rows' I have assigned a name range dataRow1, dataRow2, dataRow3... dataRow20

I can get 2 rows to swap positions by using:

Dim Range1 As Variant, Range2 As Variant
      Range1 = Worksheets("DataSheet").Range("dataRow" & Row)
      Range2 = Worksheets("DataSheet").Range("dataRow" & OtherRow)
      Worksheets("DataSheet").Range("dataRow" & Row) = Range2
      Worksheets("DataSheet").Range("dataRow" & OtherRow) = Range1

but what I'm really looking to do is find a simple way for a user to potentially reposition any row anywhere within the range. I was thinking perhaps employing a userform to display all the rows and somehow re-arrange them there as a visual aid and then the sheet would update accordingly...

I know this is a big ask, but I have searched everywhere for something which will allow me to do this...

If you can perhaps point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful

Thanks

Try this:-
This code works in range "E10:K49"
Paste code into worksheet module, Make sure its at the Top of the module!!!!
When you have the code loaded in the active sheet.
Double click any cell in any of the range Pairs (DataRow1 to DataRow20), then double click in any of the other pairs.
The two ranges should then be swapped.
