Grouping Rows in VBA

Question

I have the code below that doesn\'t seem to be working. Essentially, rngList refers to a defined name range in Excel that is about 500 rows long and every

Answer 1

I have used Sam's code to group without using column A. Thought others could find it useful.

Sub Group_Jobs()

Dim myRange As Range
Dim rowCount As Integer, currentRow As Integer
Dim firstBlankRow As Integer, lastBlankRow As Integer
Dim currentRowValue As String
Dim nextRowValue As String

Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'Stop screen updating while grouping

'select range based on given named range
Set myRange = Range("A1:A1000")
rowCount = Cells(Rows.Count, myRange.Column).End(xlUp).Row

firstBlankRow = 0
lastBlankRow = 0

'for every row in the range
For currentRow = 1 To rowCount
    currentRowValue = Cells(currentRow, myRange.Column).Value
    nextRowValue = Cells(currentRow + 1, myRange.Column).Value

'Assign firstBlankRow & lastBlankRow
    'if currentRowValue = NotBlank(Job#) And nextRowValue = NotBlank(Job#) Then Skip
    'if currentRowValue = Blank          And nextRowValue = Blank          Then Skip
    'if currentRowValue = NotBlank(Job#) And nextRowValue = Blank          Then is firstBlankRow
    'if currentRowValue = Blank          And nextRowValue = NotBlank(Job#) Then is lastBlankRow
    If Not (currentRowValue = "" Or currentRowValue = "") Then
        If (IsEmpty(nextRowValue) Or nextRowValue = "") Then
            firstBlankRow = currentRow + 1
        End If
    ElseIf (IsEmpty(currentRowValue) Or currentRowValue = "") Then
        If Not (IsEmpty(nextRowValue) Or nextRowValue = "") Then
            If firstBlankRow <> 0 Then
                lastBlankRow = currentRow
            End If
        End If
    End If
    Debug.Print "Row " & currentRow; ": firstBlankRow: " & firstBlankRow; ", lastBlankRow: " & lastBlankRow

'Group firstBlankRow & lastBlankRow
    'if first & last blank rows have been assigned, create a group
    If firstBlankRow <> 0 And lastBlankRow <> 0 Then
        'Debug.Print "Row: " & currentRow; ", Outline Level: " & ActiveSheet.Rows(currentRow).OutlineLevel
        If Not ActiveSheet.Rows(currentRow).OutlineLevel > 1 Then 'Ignore if last row is already grouped
            Range(Cells(firstBlankRow, myRange.Column), Cells(lastBlankRow, myRange.Column)).EntireRow.Select
            Selection.Group
        End If
        firstBlankRow = 0: lastBlankRow = 0 'reset the first/lastBlankRow values to 0
    End If
Next

Application.ScreenUpdating = True 'Start screen updating as macro is complete
End Sub
