Inserting a blank row after a string in Excel - excel

Question

I am trying to create a macro in excel 2010 that finds every cell in a sheet with a value of "All Customers." Every time that value is found I need a blank row inserted below it. Thought it would be pretty simple but I have searched I many forums and tried to use some sample code and I can't get it to work properly. I am a complete newb when it comes to VBA stuff. Thought I would post here and go do some light reading on basics of VBA.
If anyone has any good training resources, please post those as well.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: In my OP, I neglected to mention that any row that contains a value of "All Customers" would ideally be highlighted and put in bold, increased size font.
These actions are something that an old Crystal Report viewing/formatting program used to handle automatically when pulling the report. After we upgraded the program I learned that this type of formatting ability had been removed with the release of the newer version of the program, according to the software manufacturer's tech support. Had this been defined in the release notes I would have not performed the upgrade. Regardless, that is how I found myself in this macro disaster.

Answer 1

Something like this code adpated from an article of mine here is efficient and avoids looping
It bolds and increase the font size where the text is found (in the entire row, as Tim points out you should specify whether you meant by cell only)
It adds a blank row below the matches
code
Option Explicit
Const strText As String = "All Customers"
Sub ColSearch_DelRows()
Dim rng1 As Range
Dim rng2 As Range
Dim rng3 As Range
Dim cel1 As Range
Dim cel2 As Range
Dim strFirstAddress As String
Dim lAppCalc As Long
Dim bParseString As Boolean
'Get working range from user
On Error Resume Next
Set rng1 = Application.InputBox("Please select range to search for " & strText, "User range selection", ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Address(0, 0), , , , , 8)
On Error GoTo 0
If rng1 Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
'Further processing of matches
bParseString = True
With Application
lAppCalc = .Calculation
.ScreenUpdating = False
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
End With
'a) match string to entire cell, case insensitive
'Set cel1 = rng1.Find(strText, , xlValues, xlWhole, xlByRows, , False)
'b) match string to entire cell, case sensitive
'Set cel1 = rng1.Find(strText, , xlValues, xlWhole, xlByRows, , True)
'c)match string to part of cell, case insensititive
Set cel1 = rng1.Find(strText, , xlValues, xlPart, xlByRows, , False)
'd)match string to part of cell, case sensititive
' Set cel1 = rng1.Find(strText, , xlValues, xlPart, xlByRows, , True)
'A range variable - rng2 - is used to store the range of cells that contain the string being searched for
If Not cel1 Is Nothing Then
Set rng2 = cel1
strFirstAddress = cel1.Address
Do
Set cel1 = rng1.FindNext(cel1)
Set rng2 = Union(rng2.EntireRow, cel1)
Loop While strFirstAddress <> cel1.Address
End If
'Further processing of found range if required
If bParseString Then
If Not rng2 Is Nothing Then
With rng2
.Font.Bold = True
.Font.Size = 20
.Offset(1, 0).EntireRow.Insert
End With
End If
End If
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.Calculation = lAppCalc
End With
End Sub

Answer 2

Public Sub InsertRowAfterCellFound()
Dim foundRange As Range
Set foundRange = Cells.Find(What:="yourStringOrVariant", After:=ActiveCell) 'Find the range with the occurance of the required variant
Rows(foundRange.Row + 1 & ":" & foundRange.Row + 1).Insert 'Insert a new row below the row of the foundRange row
foundRange.Activate 'Set the found range to be the ActiveCell, this is a quick and easy way of ensuring you aren't repeating find from the top
End Sub
You may need to add error handling to the code as you will get an error if no cell with the specified value is found.

Answer 3

Assuming this is on the first sheet ("sheet 1"), here is a slow answer:
Sub InsertRowsBelowAllCustomers()
'Set your worksheet to a variable
Dim sheetOne as Worksheet
Set sheetOne = Worksheets("Sheet1")
'Find the total number of used rows and columns in the sheet (where "All Customers" could be)
Dim totalRows, totalCols as Integer
totalRows = sheetOne.UsedRange.Rows.Count
totalCols = sheetOne.UsedRange.Columns.Count
'Loop through all used rows/columns and find your desired "All Customers"
Dim row, col as Integer
For row = 1 to totalRows
For col = 1 to totalCols
If sheetOne.Cells(row,col).Value = "All Customers" Then
Range(sheetOne.Cells(row,col)).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1).EntireRow.Insert
totalRows = totalRows + 1 'increment totalRows because you added a new row
Exit For
End If
Next col
Next row
End Sub

Answer 4

This function starts from the last row and goes back up to the first row, inserting an empty row after each cell containing "All Customers" on column A:
Sub InsertRowsBelowAllCustomers()
Dim R As Integer
For R = UsedRange.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
If Cells(R, 1) = "All Customers" Then Rows(R + 1).Insert
Next R
End Sub

Answer 5

The error is because the worksheet was not specified in used range.
I have slightly altered the code with my text being in column AJ and inserting a row above the cell.
Dim R As Integer
For R = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
If Range("AJ" & R) = "Combo" Then Rows(R).Insert
Next R
