Hi Can anyone please help - I have to place a thick border in the entire row based on values in Column "A" until two or more cells contains the same value. if cell A2 & A3 have the same value so i have to place a thick border which will show that these rows have same values.

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
@aayaanmayank,

Is there any reason it needs to be a think border around the entire row?
If not, then you could use the "duplicate values" conditional formatting rule on column A...
Then perhaps go Conditional Formatting --> Manage Rules to edit the formatting style if you want.

Otherwise, gimme a sec and I will see if I can figure this one out real quick for ya.

Hey aayaanmayank,


You can try the below macro

Code:
Sub ThickBoarder()

Dim lRow As Long, txt As String

lRow = ActiveSheet.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

For x = lRow To 2 Step -1
    txt = Cells(x, 1).Offset(-1, 0)
    If Cells(x, 1) <> txt Then
        Rows(x).Borders(xlEdgeTop).Weight = xlThick
    End If
Next

End Sub

Ok, I have changed the order now, try the updated code below

Code:
Sub ThickBorder()

Dim lRow As Long, txt As String
lRow = ActiveSheet.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

For x = 2 To lRow
    txt = Cells(x, 1).Offset(1, 0)
    If Cells(x, 1) <> txt Then Rows(x).Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Weight = xlThick
Next

End Sub

Got most of it working pretty easy by following the instructions on the other website.

Unfortunately, you cannot use Conditional Formatting to do a thick border: www.excelforum.com/excel-formulas-and-functions/543056-conditional-formatting-thick-border.html
This means the only possible way to do a thick border would be to put the thick borders on every row, then use conditional formatting to replace it with no borders.
Unfortunately, I'm not certain that it can be done the way I believe you were requesting it.
This is about the closest I got:

Possible exception: I know practically NOTHING about VBA code, so it may be doable that way and I just do not know how to do it.

Hope the highlighting or thin bordering works well enough for ya. If not, definitely post a reply here and I'm sure someone else will try to chime in for ya.
