Hello, I am looking for some assistance on trying to come up with some VBA code to check that an ID number isn't repeated for a particular block of data. The data block sizes can change though.

Here is a sample of the data.
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]

I want to make sure that any row that has a "3000" in it has a unique value. But the 3000 records are driven by and linked to the preceding 2100 record. And, as it shows in the data, a 2100 record does NOT have to have a 3000 record to go with it.

So if I find a 2100 record followed by a 3000 record I then need to look at column-E and make sure that the sequence starts with 1 and does not repeat for any 3000 record under that 2100 record. If it does, I want to highlight the cell red and turn the font a bold yellow color.

The data size can vary and it needs to be able to account for the data in column-E being consecutive, no skips or jumps in that sequence.

Thanks for any assistance.

Ok figured out the Resize, I just changed it to Offset.

I have to do a few more tests ,but I think it is working, I'll follow-up once I have time to go through it though.

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
Ok, I updated the code slightly as it didn't have my error counter in it (other code I use). But when I put in a few lines it only seems to be counting everything one time, not multiple as I would expect.

Here is my updated code, my additions in red:

Code: 
Sub MG20Sep05()' Data starts "B23", Rng reference starts "D23"
Dim Rng As Range, Dn As Range, n As Long, Num As Long, R1 As Range, R2 As Range, Q As Variant
Set Rng = Range("D23", Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
ErrorCount = 0
With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
.CompareMode = vbTextCompare
For Each Dn In Rng
   If Dn.Offset(, -2).Value = 2100 Or Dn.Offset(, -2).Value = 3000 Then
        Num = IIf(Dn.Offset(, -2).Value = 2100, 0, 1)
        If Not .Exists(Dn.Value) Then
            
            If Dn.Offset(, -2).Value = 2100 Then
                    Set R1 = Dn.Offset(, -2)
            ElseIf Dn.Offset(, -2).Value = 3000 Then
                    Set R2 = Dn.Offset(, -2)
            End If
            .Add Dn.Value, Array(R1, R2)
        Else
            Q = .Item(Dn.Value)
                If Q(Num) Is Nothing Then
                    Set Q(Num) = Dn.Offset(, -2)
                Else
                    Set Q(Num) = Union(Q(Num), Dn.Offset(, -2))
                End If
            .Item(Dn.Value) = Q
        End If
    End If
Set R1 = Nothing: Set R2 = Nothing
Next
Dim K As Variant, c As Long, p As Range, A As Long, t, tt
    For Each K In .keys
        c = 0: A = 0
        If Not .Item(K)(0) Is Nothing Then
            A = .Item(K)(0).Count 'IIf(.Item(K)(0) Is Nothing, 0, .Item(K)(0).Count)
        Else
            A = 0
        End If
            If Not .Item(K)(1) Is Nothing Then
                If .Item(K)(0) Is Nothing Or Not .Item(K)(1)(1).Offset(, 3).Value = 1 Then
[COLOR=#ff0000]                    ErrorCount = ErrorCount + 1[/COLOR]
                    .Item(K)(1).Offset(, 3).Interior.Color = vbRed
                    .Item(K)(1).Offset(, 3).Font.Color = vbYellow
                    .Item(K)(1).Offset(, 3).Font.Bold = True
[COLOR=#ff0000]                    .Item(K)(1).Offset(, -1).Interior.Color = vbRed[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff0000]                    .Item(K)(1).Offset(, -1).Font.Color = vbYellow[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff0000]                    .Item(K)(1).Offset(, -1).Font.Bold = True[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff0000]                    .Item(K)(1).Offset(, -1).Value = "Errors in this Row"[/COLOR]
            Else
                    For Each Dn In .Item(K)(1)
                        c = c + 1
                        If Not Dn.Offset(, 3).Value = c Then
[COLOR=#ff0000]                            ErrorCount = ErrorCount + 1[/COLOR]
                            Dn.Offset(, 3).Interior.Color = vbRed
                            Dn.Offset(, 3).Font.Color = vbYellow
                            Dn.Offset(, 3).Font.Bold = True
[COLOR=#ff0000]                            .Item(K)(1).Offset(, -1).Interior.Color = vbRed[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff0000]                            .Item(K)(1).Offset(, -1).Font.Color = vbYellow[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff0000]                            .Item(K)(1).Offset(, -1).Font.Bold = True[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff0000]                            .Item(K)(1).Offset(, -1).Value = "Errors in this Row"[/COLOR]
                        End If
                    Next Dn
            End If
        End If
Next K
End With
[COLOR=#ff0000]MsgBox "Total Number of Potential Errors Found = " & ErrorCount & Chr(10) & Chr(10) & "Also,check the 'Raw Data' tab for potential comma counts issues.", vbInformation[/COLOR]
End Sub

At the end I only get 2 errors on one test I am doing, but I would expect it to show 4, here is the data set for that. The one's in red are what get highlighted, but the ErrorCount only shows as "2", I would expect it to be 4, but maybe I'm not thinking about it correctly.

Mick, thanks for your patients and all the assistance, this appears to be working as I had hoped for. I certainly would never have gotten to this point on my own.
