Looping problem

Hi,
I have a rather long section of code that I have been told could be made much simpler by creating a loop routine. I am not very good at VBA and I mostly "cobble together" bits of code I find on here to suit my needs.

A pivot table is sent to me each week which I copy into the workbook with the code.
The code I have at present copies the values of the pivot table into a new workbook and does a lot of other stuff not relevant here. The code works well, but if the standard list gets added to, then the code has to be adjusted to accomodate the change. I am trying to loop through a named range of products so that if the product list grows or shrinks then it wont matter.

I basically want to look down column A on sheet1 to see if any items are missing compared to the standard list in a named range called "ProdPnum".
If an item is missing I want to insert the "ProdPnum" value in column A at the correct row and also the value of (ProdPnum offset one cell right) into column B. I then want to continue this process for as long as there is a value in the named range "ProdPnum".
As I said, I'm not great at VBA and the loops I have tried to adjust to suit, either don't loop or loop forever or just throw up errors.
I have trimmed down the workbook to the bare essentials and commented out some code in the attached workbook for easier reading. The section of code in question is below, and I have attached the workbook.
As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

You should use a sub routine and call it into your code like 
Sub FindDataAndReplaceIt(FindData As String, Replace1 As String, Replace2 As String)
'check to see if the LGB data is missing and insert it after the "I" if it is
Set fndData = Worksheets("Tabelle1").Columns("B:B").Find(What:=Replace1, lookat:=xlWhole)
If fndData Is Nothing Then
       Set fndData = Worksheets("Tabelle1").Columns("B:B").Find(What:=FindData, lookat:=xlWhole)
       If Not fndData Is Nothing Then
            fndData.Offset(1).EntireRow.Insert
            fndData.Offset(1).Value = Replace1
            fndData.Offset(1, -1).Value = Replace2
        End If
End If
End Sub

Sub CopyCalloff()
' your code
Call FindDataAndReplaceIt("I", "LGB", "653801A")
Call FindDataAndReplaceIt("K", "RGB", "652301A")
'Your code
End Sub

Open in new window


and if you want then create an array to loop through your information

Sub ReadArray()
Dim myArray As Variant
myArray = [{"I","LGB","653801A";"K","RGB","652301A"}]

For Idx = 1 To UBound(myArray)
    MsgBox myArray(Idx, 1) & myArray(Idx, 2) & myArray(Idx, 3)
    Next
End Sub

Open in new window

Thanks for the comment Rgonzo, but if I understand you correctly the "myArray" (line 3 of ReadArray) looks like I have to name all the variables in the list.
Or am I missing something?
I probably have the wrong end of the stick but I was hoping that the loop would scroll down the list in "ProdPnum" and populate itself without having to hard code the myArray part.

Hi,

Of course it is possible, but in your code,  you don't use all product numbers, so I didn't know which condition applies to trying to complete the data.

Thanks again for sticking with this.
The product part numbers and product codes are listed on the "CodeSheet" in the attachment.
I am still trying to get a way of looping through the part numbers to see if any of them are missing from the new schedule. If they are missing I wanted a new row to be inserted in the correct place according the the "CodeSheet" sequence and the missing item values added to cell a? and b? of that new row.

Hi,

you could replace your subsequent finds and inserts with this loop.

    Worksheets("CodeSheet").Activate ' when you are still in the original wbk
    Set rng = Range(Range("A2"), Range("B2").End(xlDown))
    Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
' rest of the code then


For Each myRow In rng.Rows
   Set isect = Application.Intersect(myRow.Offset(-1, 0), rng)

   If Not (isect Is Nothing) Then ' if not first in range
      Set fndData = Worksheets("Sheet1").Columns("B:B").Find(What:=myRow.Cells(1, 2).Value, lookat:=xlWhole)
      If fndData Is Nothing Then
          Set fndData = Worksheets("Sheet1").Columns("B:B").Find(What:=myRow.Cells(1, 2).Offset(-1, 0).Value, lookat:=xlWhole)
          If Not fndData Is Nothing Then
               fndData.Offset(1).EntireRow.Insert
               fndData.Offset(1).Value = myRow.Cells(1, 2).Value
               fndData.Offset(1, -1).Value = myRow.Cells(1, 1).Value
           End If
      End If
   Else
      If Range("B3") <> myRow.Cells(1, 2).Value Then
         Range("A3").EntireRow.Insert
         Range("B3").Value = myRow.Cells(1, 2).Value
         Range("A3").Value = myRow.Cells(1, 1).Value
      End If
   End If
Next myRow
