Excel Macro should be simple

**Robphillips18** · 08-10-2011, 05:25 AM

I want to write a macro which searchs in column A for 'Client', and each time it finds it inputs 'N/a - Client' into Column C. seems like it should be easy but my VBA knowledge is very poor. perform this manually every day and will really would save me lots of time

Thanks in advance
Rob
