Seach, Copy, select paste location, paste using macros
I am a novice user that can do basic macro recording and modifications of macros to streamline simple macros. I have a more complex need and don't know how to accomplish the following tasks using excel macros is 2007 excel.
Let's see if I can clearly explain what I want to do.
1. I want to enter a value and search for the value in column H.
2. Once the value is found I want to select the row where the value is found along with 1 row above and 5 rows below the selected row.
3. Once selected, I want to copy the selected rows.
4. I want to then select a cell in column H where I want the copied information to be inserted and then I want to insert the copied rows 2 rows above the selected cell.
To complicate this more, the worksheet must remain protected after the search, copy, and paste function is complete. Ideally, I would like to have all these steps happen with one macro and 2 user inputs, but if it is not possible, then there could be 1 copy macro and 1 paste macro.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.
If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.
Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!
