VBA: add border line below when value changes

Sub AddBorderLineWhenValueChanges()
'UpdatebyExtendoffice20160918
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim LastRow As Long
    Dim xrg As Range
    LastRow = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    For Each xrg In Range("A2:A" & LastRow)
        If xrg <> xrg.Offset(1, 0) Then
            Range("A" & xrg.Row & ":K" & xrg.Row).Borders(xlEdgeBottom).LineStyle = xlContinuous
        End If
    Next xrg
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

3. Press F5 key to execute the code. Then the border lines have been added below when value changes in the selection A2:A.
