Sending Email Based on Cell Value within a Loop - excel

Question

I have a sample sheet
I have a module that runs through the list in a loop within another loop, checking for duplicate names and then grouping the names together to send an email with an attachment based on Column D (Division).
Sample 4 would get one email with 3 attachments.
I have been asked to build in the ability to exclude people based on a value (I chose yes or no, column C) before running the module.
Reason being that if the list is long (over 1000 names) to set it before generating the emails. I would build in a trigger to set that value, but it is apparently an arbitrary decision made by the senders in a dept.
I have tried to build an IF statement into the loop as shown below but it is as if the If statement is coming out as not being true (I stepped through).
Which means all the With Outmail objects will not work.
I was able to get it to work by using the if statement with a for/next setup on its own (no loops), but cannot get it to work with the loop, which is the more important piece.
Here is the main piece of code. The main loop and then the if statement to account for the yes or no values:
Do While r <= rng.Rows.Count
If rng.Cells(r, 3).Value Like "?*#?*.?*" And LCase(rng.Cells(r, 3)) = "yes" Then
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
End If
And here is the full sub:
Sub EmailDivisions()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim cell, lookrng As Range
Dim strDir As String
Dim strFilename As String
Dim sigString As String
Dim strBody As String
Dim strName As Variant
Dim strName1 As Variant
Dim strDept As Variant
Dim strName2 As String
Dim strName3 As Variant
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
sigString = Environ("appdata") & _
"\Microsoft\Signatures\Divisions.htm"
If Dir(sigString) <> "" Then
signature = GetBoiler(sigString)
Else
signature = ""
End If
Set rng = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
r = 2
Do While r <= rng.Rows.Count
If rng.Cells(r, 3).Value Like "?*#?*.?*" And LCase(rng.Cells(r, 3)) = "yes" Then
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
End If
Set strName = rng.Cells(r, 1)
Set strDept = rng.Cells(r, 4)
strName2 = Left(strName, InStr(strName & " ", " ") - 1)
With OutMail
strFilename = Dir("\\Divisons\1a*" & strDept & "*")
.SentOnBehalfOfName = "divisionalsend#xyz.org"
.To = rng.Cells(r, 2).Value
.Subject = "Monthly Divisional Report for " & strDept
.HTMLBody = "<Font Face=calibri>" & "Dear " & strName2 & ",<br><br>" & signature
.Attachments.Add strDir & strFilename
'See if the next row is for the same sender. If so, process that
'row as well. And then keep doing it until no more rows match
Do While rng.Cells(r, 2).Value = rng.Cells(r + 1, 2)
r = r + 1
Set strDept = rng.Cells(r, 4)
strfilename1 = Dir("\\Divisions\1a*" & strDept & "*")
.Subject = "Monthly Divisional Report for Your Departments"
.Attachments.Add strDir & strfilename1
Loop
.Display
End With
Set OutMail = Nothing
r = r + 1
Loop
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
Function GetBoiler(ByVal sFile As String) As String
Dim FSO As Object
Dim ts As Object
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ts = FSO.GetFile(sFile).OpenAsTextStream(1, -2)
GetBoiler = ts.ReadAll
ts.Close
End Function

Figured it out, here is the final sub:
Sub EmailDivisions()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim cell, lookrng As Range
Dim strDir As String
Dim strFilename As String
Dim sigString As String
Dim strBody As String
Dim strName As Variant
Dim strName1 As Variant
Dim strDept As Variant
Dim strName2 As String
Dim strName3 As Variant
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
sigString = Environ("appdata") & _
"\Microsoft\Signatures\Divisions.htm"
If Dir(sigString) <> "" Then
signature = GetBoiler(sigString)
Else
signature = ""
End If
Set rng = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
r = 2
Do While r <= rng.Rows.Count
Debug.Print LCase(rng.Cells(r, 2))
If Cells(r, 2).Value Like "?*#?*.?*" And LCase(Cells(r, 3)) = "yes" Then
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
ElseIf Cells(r, 2).Value Like "?*#?*.?*" And LCase(Cells(r, 3)) = "no" Then GoTo ContinueLoop
End If
Set strName = Cells(r, 1)
Set strDept = Cells(r, 4)
strName2 = Left(strName, InStr(strName & " ", " ") - 1)
With OutMail
strFilename = Dir("\\Divisons\1a*" & strDept & "*")
.SentOnBehalfOfName = "divisionalsend#xyz.org"
.To = Cells(r, 2).Value
.Subject = "Monthly Divisional Report for " & strDept
.HTMLBody = "<Font Face=calibri>" & "Dear " & strName2 & ",<br><br>" & signature
.Attachments.Add strDir & strFilename
.display
'See if the next row is for the same sender. If so, process that
'row as well. And then keep doing it until no more rows match
Do While rng.Cells(r, 2).Value = rng.Cells(r + 1, 2)
r = r + 1
Set strDept = Cells(r, 4)
strfilename1 = Dir("\\Divisions\1a*" & strDept & "*")
.Subject = "Monthly Divisional Report for Your Departments"
.Attachments.Add strDir & strfilename1
.Display
ContinueLoop:

End With
Set OutMail = Nothing
r = r + 1

Set OutApp = Nothing
