    spreadsheet formatting

    I'm sure there's a lot of smart people who watch these forums so I'm hoping that someone can help me out.

    I have a recurring need to format a spreadsheet in a certain fashion. The spreadsheet is generated by exporting some info form an online database (Zoho). I'm sure if I understood VBA better or could find the time to learn it more so, I could solve this problem myself, but I've been unsuccessful so far in finding some good learning material (specifically an API or object model reference document).

    Regardless, what I'm hoping is that someone out there (who already has the know how) would be willing to help me out by providing some code that will get me going in the right direction. I really feel like this would be less than a couple hours of work for someone who knows what they're doing. Another thing that would certainly help me get started as well would be some direction as to where to look for API/object model documentation.

    I could provide details of my specific formatting needs in a follow-up post as well as examples of the unformatted spreadsheet and formatted spreadsheet.

    One other thing worth mentioning is that this work is for a non-profit organization located in SLC, UT. If you'd like to know specifically what organization, here's a link to our site (www.engagedencounterutah.org).

    Re: macro programming request

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.
    Hope that helps.

    re: spreadsheet formatting

    In an attempt to be more specific, one of the first things I need the macro to do is to insert a new blank row above every existing row in the sheet.

    Re: spreadsheet formatting

    The best way to get started is to record your actions whilst formatting the sheet using the macro recorder - see

    http://www.excel-it.com/record_macro.htm

    Remember the recorder will copy all your actions so the code will need editing, post back with the generated code for help with the editing.
