Nice and simple, even easier to troubleshoot when things go bad

Note that for very simple loops such as replacing all of the cells in a column with something else, you can just highlight the column and go to Edit > Find > Replace, and replace all instances of one thing with another.

IS there a way to loop backwards? My problem is as I am looping through, I am adding rows below, so my "for each" messes up.
Basically I want to loop through rows and search for something. If I find it I need to add duplicate row. If I duplicate 3 to 3-dash, then 2 stays where it is, but if I start at top and replicate 1 to 1-dash then 2 is now 3.
I hope I explained my problem well. Unless of course "for each" can be told to be *smart* somehow.

How make the loop for the sumproduct function in excel?

[tonymoua]

Are there lame definitions for all those jargons for a newbie such as I to start learning VBA? For example, the first sentence. What does that mean?

How can determine if the first row is the headers for the worksheet? Thanks

How does vba know what range mycell is ? You never told it that it is from A2:B4. Wouldn't you have to make a statement such as mycell = "A2:B4" ? Confusing. It seems as if VBA automatically assigns A2:B4 to mycell in the Worksheets.Range statement which makes no sense to me. Can you explain?

Thanks! I have a question not related to the video, but I hope you answer it.

Say I have =Sum(A2, B2). And next will be =SUM(A3, B3). And so on until 50 or more. Is there a fast and easy way to do this, other than manually typing every formula on each cell?
