    script to find a line in excel

    Hello,

    I am new to VB and am struggling with an issue.

    I have a spreadsheet that has many rows that are related to a specific row above them.

    ie

    top row has a summary, following rows have details related to the row above (different number of lines each time).

    I want to take two cells (E & F) out of the summary row and attach them to all of the detail rows below until it hits another summary row and then delete the summary line.

    the end result should be no summary lines only detail lines with columns (E & F) populated with the data from the Summary (E & F) row.

    The summary line is designated in column A as "HDR".

    I have been looking at the find function as well as the if statement but cannot seem to tie them together in a satisfactory way

    I hope I have included enough detail and that more importantly there is someone out there who can point me in the right direction.

    Thanks in advance

    If you could give us a visual example of the data that would be very helpful!

    I have included a sample above. The real spreadsheet has many lines in between and multiple occurrences. I tried attaching the file but it would not take xls or csv

    Thank you so much for taking the time to look at it.
