Formatting in VBA

[dunk]

In an excel spreadsheet I'm looking to find a way to search the entire spreadsheet, find the "Dept Total" cells, go to the cell to the right of it(this contains a currency value)and put a top border line above this cells contents. This will make a visible split between lots of Dept Totals.

Any help would be very welcome

Hi Dunk

here is one way to do this;

Sub finder()
Dim SearchString As String
Dim Sh, F, Location As String, Flag, Found1st

SearchString = "Dept Total"
Set Sh = Sheets.Application

For Each Sh In Application.Sheets
Flag = 0
With Sh.Range("A1:IV65536")
Do
Set F = .Find(SearchString, lookat:=xlWhole, after:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not F Is Nothing Then
If Flag = 0 Then Found1st = F.Offset(0, 1).Address(external:=True)
Location = F.Address
Sh.Select
Range(Location).Offset(0, 1).Select
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlMedium
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
Flag = Flag + 1
End If
Loop Until Found1st = ActiveCell.Address(external:=True) And Flag > 2 Or F Is Nothing
End With
Next Sh

End Sub

thanks very much

I'm now looking to modify the above code so that it formats the next nine cells in the same row, and not just the next cell.

Any help appreciated
