I have two Total columns. Because this is moving data, I never know which two columns the total columns are in. I need to group the data between the columns. The first column heading is "YTD" and the second column heading is "Monthly". The column headings begin in row 10.

Hi david,

You mentioned that the column headings "start in row 10", implying that they might end in a different row. Assuming that you meant "are in row 10" and you want the YTD and Monthly columns to be included in the group, the following code should do it:

Code:
Sub GroupTotalColumns()
   'Groups columns starting with YTD and ending with Monthly in row 10
   Dim iCol    As Integer
   Dim iCol1   As Integer
   Dim iCol2   As Integer
   iCol1 = 0
   
   For iCol = 1 To Cells(10, 256).End(xlToLeft).Column
      If iCol1 = 0 Then
         If Cells(10, iCol).Value = "YTD" Then iCol1 = iCol
      Else
         If Cells(10, iCol).Value = "Monthly" Then
            iCol2 = iCol
            GoTo FoundGroup
         End If
      End If
   Next iCol
   MsgBox IIf(iCol1 = 0, "YTD", "monthly") & " header not found.", vbExclamation, "Can't group columns"
   Exit Sub
   
FoundGroup:
   Range(Columns(iCol1), Columns(iCol2)).Group
   
End Sub

Keep Excelling.
