I'd appreciate some help with this problem, I'm brand new to Macros, but pretty godd with formulas, however this thing has got me flummoxed!

Here's a sample my data:

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 480pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=640><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" span=10 width=64><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8;

Individual customer sales for the year are presented in an Excel spreadsheet in blocks like this, delimited by asterisks. Immediatley after the bottom asterisk is another block of data for the next customer, and so on down the sheet. It's not real clear but the column of Items ranges from blank up. I need to review each block separately, determine if any of the Item entries are >1 and indicate that in the SaleMade column to the right of items. In the >3 sold column next to that one, I need to indicate if there is at least a single instance in the Items >=4. Blocks can have blank rows within them, and can vary in the number of rows they contain. I pretty much need a plug-and-play Macro, if anybody can help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
I don't see where the Blocks come in.
A formula could easily return a value depending on whether that row's column H (Items) is blank or is >3.

Try putting the formula =IF(H1>0,"sale Made","") in I1 and =IF(H1>3, "gt 3", "") in J1 and dragging down.

Thanks, that works and is the way I was approaching it, but we need a single result for each customer for each criteria, not for each row. A "Yes/No". Yes this customer has sales >0, and Yes this customer has sales >3.

So you want the sum of those values and the sums are delimited by the * rows?

Right now, I need to do gainful employment, but will look back later.

No sums are involved. We want to first count the number of customers who had a volume >0 and then count the number of those who had a volume >3. Since each block starts and ends with an asterisk, it boils down to two questions: does this block have any instance of items that is >0? Does this block have any instance of items >3? Then we'll cound the number of blocks with yes to each qeustion.

Put this CSE formula in I4
=SIGN(COUNTIF(INDEX($H$1:$H4,MAX(($A$1:$A4="*")*ROW($A$1:$A4)),1):INDEX($H5:$H9998,MATCH("~*",$A5:$A$9999,0),1),">0"))

Copied to any other cell in I, it will return 1/0 of the question "Is there any sale in this block"

Similarly =COUNTIF(INDEX($H$1:$H3,MAX(($A$1:$A3="*")*ROW($A$1:$A3)),1):INDEX($H5:$H9998,MATCH("~*",$A5:$A$9999,0),1),">3") will tell how many sales were of >3 items.

These formulas would be easier to edit if the blocks could be characterized by "all sales by Dennis Ray" rather than "those sales between asterisks."

This macro might help

Code:
Sub test()
    With Sheet1

Is this what you want? If your data goes more (or less) than row 1000, then adjust the 1000 numbers in all my formulas. That number just needs to be greater than or equal to the the last row your data is ever likely to use. After any such row adjustment, the formulas in I3 and J3 are copied down to the end of your data.

For another macro approach (not greatly tested) you could try this.

Mike and Peter, thanks for your help. After reviewing with the end user, they'd like to pursue the formulas you provided, Peter, versus the macros. The macros won't go to waste though, I'll be reveiwing them. However, when I plug in the I3 formula, I find it only evaluates the first cell in the range, not the entire range of the customer. I'm attempting to tweak it, but so far am unsuccessful. Peter, if you have a moment could you review it? The problem appears to be that at this point - (I7:INDEX(I7:I$1000,MATCH - the index is not being associated as part of the range starting with I7 and is instead being associated with the (). Thanks.
