Halo

Ik heb een zoek programma gemaakt met VBA die de cel van het gezocht item groen maakt
Bijv. saldo 1 euro komt 3x voor in een blad ( B2 t/m F16 )
Dan maakt hij 3x de cel Saldo 1 euro groen
Nou zou ik graag willen dat hij deze 3 items kopieert op hetzelfde blad in kolom H
Wie weet hoe je dit moet schrijven in een Macro

B.v.d. Michel

Bonjour,
J'ai pu tester ce code (celui en haut du post) pour dupliquer plusieurs lignes autant de fois que le nombre présent dans la dernière colonne. Cela fonctionne très bien, Merci.
Par contre, dans une des colonnes, il y a une date de début. Je voudrais que cette date s'incrémente automatiquement lors de la duplication.
Pouvez vous m'aider s'il vous plait, je ne trouve pas la réponse sur internet ?
Merci par avance.

This code works great. I have a situation where I am using Excel as a quote form. Worksheet one is the actual bid, and worksheet two is our cost page. When I insert the copied rows, I need it to do so on both pages. I have tried adding some code to select both pages, but it does not seem to work. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello, is it possible to use different sizes(values) for each row? I am trying using vector, but it is not working.
For instance :
Rows(I).Resize(xCount(y) ).Insert

Where the values saved in xCount(y) are read from a table.

hi everyone.. Thank you in advance for you help!!

The VBA code to duplicate one specific row multiple times work perfectly until you use a filter. I wonder if someone can help me to solve this issue. I need a code that work even if you have some values filtered. I am using a large amount of data that is sort by locations. The code partially work, it pastes the number of row desire but no data or format when I have applied a filter.
