asked on Repeat an Excel macro multiple times
I have the following macro in an Excel 2010 worksheet. I need to repeat it about 25,000 times. I know there's a loop feature that can be used, but I don't know enough about Visual Basic to get it to work. And everything I find online is GREEK to me. Can someone help me with the correct coding to get this done? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!!!!
Sub Move_Text3()
'
' Move_Text3 Macro
'
'
ActiveCell.Range("A1:G1").
Selection.Cut
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 8).Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveCell.Offset(3, -8).Range("A1").Select
End Sub
Sub Move_Text3()

ActiveCell.Range("A1:G1").
Selection.Cut
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 8).Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveCell.Offset(3, -8).Range("A1").Select
End Sub

What do you expect to have happen if you run that code more than once?

I want it to go through and highlight some cells and then move them to the appropriate row. There are lots of rows that need this done.
As written, a loop would cause this code will move seven cells from every other row up one row (from where it started) and over eight cells.
For example, looping through that code three times would have this effect:
![loop three times]()
If that's truly what you need then adding the For loop (ending it with Next) as suggested by @MartinLiss will work.
If that's not what you need then describe what you're hoping to have happen.

Worked like a charm!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much!! I am amazed at how people know Visual Basic. Wish I knew it much better than I do. Thanks again. Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!
@esu4236, the best way to learn VBA is to keep using it. Also, read the questions and answers on this site and you will learn a ton about interesting ways that other people are using it. I've learned a lot reading answers from other experts.
Glad I was able to help.
