    Apply Border based on change in cell value?

    I currently have 200 Rows of data with Column H being a value of 1-12. I would like sort by this Column and have an outside border applied to the entire Row when there is change in value in Column H. Problem is, I'm frequenlty adding additional Rows of data so when I re-sort the data by Column H, the border doesn't move. For example, I have a border between Rows 25 and 26 because the value in H has gone from 3 to 4. However, if I add a new Row with a value of 3 in Column H and re-sort, the border stays where it is and now I have a Row with a value of 3 in the "section" of Rows with 4 in Column H (for illustration purposes, the underlined text below represents a border).

    I'm using conditional formatting for another reason already. Attached is an example of the sheet...

    I use conditional formatting to give me the color change, but I'm not seeing how to have the entire row formatted with a border at a change in value (sorry for my ignorance).

    The code in the earlier post needs adapting for your use. It detects a change so all you need is to add code to border the cells instead of adding the date

    Hello efab,

    It seems a working example of the code is what you want. I have added a button to the worksheet to run the macro. The data will be sorted by Team, School, and Gender in ascending order. Separating borders will then be added where the numbers change. Here is the macro code...
