I am looking for an excel macro code to do the following:

If the name "Jane Doe" is in column H then I need the name "John Doe" dropped into column I.


Thank you in advance for any help provided.
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Where would Excel find John Doe to know that it should go into column I. Is it shown somewhere else in a relationship to Jane Doe? Give us some more details on worksheet/workbook layout and arrangement.

Jane Doe is find in column H and name repeats multiple times in column H, if the name Jane Doe is found in column H then I would like to drop the name John Doe into column I. John Doe is currently not on worksheet.

Thanks,
Tara

I suspect that there is more to this than a simple insertion of a name, but I will give you a simple code for this specific request. Keep in mind that this is specific to Jane Doe and will not work for any other names.

Code:
Sub JaneDoe
Dim i as long, lr as long
lr = range("A" & rows.count).end(xlup).row
For i = 1 to lr
If instr(Range("H" & i),"Jane Doe")>0 then
Range("I" & i)= "John Doe"
End if
Next i
End Sub
