While, Wends, Ifs and Ors with unexpected behaviors

Hi

I have some data in one sheet. I have some code that examines a specific column for specific strings; if the string is found then the data is cut to a new sheet. I have been testing this and it has been fine - or at least i thought it had.

A user has come back and explained that only 'some' of the matches strings are being cut to the relevant sheet - and sure enough they are right.

I have no idea why! Can anyone help?

Hard to know exactly without having a copy of the workbook but my guess would be that you cut the row if you find the data and then still incrememnt the counter, so if you had 3 rows:
1 Warr016
2 Warr02
3 Warr016
When Row 1 is cut, it would become
1 Warr02
2 Warr016
And your counter would be at row 2, so the Warr02 term would be skipped

Thanks to all for suggestions.

TM Shucks - i think that is the problem (yudlugar said similar) but alas I am not sure how to modify the code to start from the bottom up?

snb - alas I tried your code and was presented with a 'Run Time Error 1004' - AutoFilter method of range class failed - any ides why?

yudlugar - i tried your code too - but it seemed to stop after only checking one row - and i don't know why it did that either! (Can you tell i don't know very much?!)

I attach the sheet in the hope that it makes things easier to debug.

I want to look at column B and extract WARR16 and WARR02 to the Ford sheet, WARR01 to Iveco Warranty, WARR11 to Isuzu Truck, and Warr13 to Isuzu 4WD.

Thanks to everyone for help so far.

Hi snb - thanks for the reply. This macro is number 7 in a series of 15 that run to achieve a bigger goal - the first 2 rows need to be left as they are at this stage. Thanks

Yeah I'm not sure that is the problem anymore, when I tried it on your worksheet the cut command left the row blank so you still needed to increment the counter. This seems to work on your worksheet:

Yudlugar - that worked a treat! Star already clicked!

Thanks SO much for your (and everyones!) help.

Norrie - the bigger goal has been the stuff of my nightmares! All of the macros are sound, except this one - All sorted now though - thanks.
