asked on Simple Add to a Macro for Limiting List
EE Pros,
I have a Macro that automatically replicates lines in a WS. I need it to stop by either a counter or a specific cell reference. So for example, I'd like to be able to specify that it can increment a total of 10 times or until it reaches say, Cell A17. The choices should be able to operate independently and I'll comment out the choice.
Thank you in advance.

'This code adds a new Case to the end of the last case.
Sub NewCase()
Dim rngNewCase As Range
Dim cht As ChartObject
Dim rngCurrent As Range
Dim rngDesired As Range
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="pass"
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set rngNewCase = ActiveSheet.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offs
Worksheets("Risk_Return").
ChartNo = rngNewCase.Row / 3
Set rngCurrent = rngNewCase.Offset(, 2)
Set rngDesired = rngNewCase.Offset(, 3)
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="pass"
ActiveSheet.EnableSelectio
End Sub

SSaqubh,
Thanks for the comment. It does exactly that. It simply copies and pastes new rows. What I want it to do is to STOP after a certain number of replications (say 10) or STOP when it reaches a certain Cell row like 17. I only want it to respond to one of the ways to stop it; I'll comment out the one I don't use so I can use it later if necessary (or you can comment it out and I'll know what it is).
I've attached the actual WS for you.
Thank you again,
B.

Try this
Sub Prioritise()
Dim xLast_Row As Long
Dim getp As Variant
Sheets("Risk_Return").Activate
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="jam"
getp = InputBox("Enter a number or a cell reference", "Priority list")
If IsNumeric(getp) Then
xLast_Row = 6 + getp
ElseIf getp = "" Then
MsgBox ("Please enter something.")
Exit Sub
Else
xLast_Row = Range(getp).Row
End If
With Sheets("Risk_Return").Sort
.SortFields.Clear
.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("E7:E" & xLast_Row), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlDescending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
.SetRange Range("A6:E" & xLast_Row)
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
Range("A7") = "1"
Range("A7").AutoFill Destination:=Range("A7:A" & xLast_Row), Type:=xlFillSeries

Ssaqibh,
Thanks for the code! The Sub you have modified is not the right Sub. The Sub I'm trying to restrict the replication count is "Sub NewCase()"......the Prioritize Sub prioritizes the range when numbers are entered into the Value and Risk Columns. What I'm trying to do is to have a message such as "You have exceeded the number of entries" when you press the "New!" button and you have exceeded EITHER 10 entries OR you have reached a particular Row, say row 17. I tried the code for kicks but quickly realized I had probably not been clear enough as to what I was looking for. I hope this is a simple two or three line entry in the NewCase Sub to do a count or identify a row number and stop adding additional rows.
Make sense?

Ssaquibh,
Thanks for the code. I tested it but am still perplexed by what it does. It asks for a reference number.......then adds another line as did the original code.
If you go back to my original code, the original code works perfectly; EXCEPT if you fire the "Newcase" macro via the button, it will make copies beyond 10 entries or go beyond row 17. Try it. Hit the New! button until it replicates beyond row 17. This is what I'm trying to limit. I'm looking for it to stop at row 17, either by identifying the row or by counting to 10; with the message, "you have exceeded the number of entries permitted".
Make sense? Thanks for hanging in with me.

Ssaquibh,
THANK YOU!!!! This works perfectly. I hope you had a great holiday season and are preparing for a fantastic New Year's Eve.
If you get a chance, I have another question out that hasn't been addressed since the 21st of Dec. It was close to being complete but has querks. It's simply trying to auto save a copy of a range to the desktop. I think it may be about 80% done but is stalled. If you get the chance......
It's under: "Autosave Macro"
Thanks,

I am not clear what you want to do now. Can you give an example?
