Ttstm063

Here is sample of my data in column A, out of 60000 cells. what I want to archive is a code to search by Ttstm063 if found copy Cell above and paste Results to column C loop until end of data in column A

I am trying to use this code , am very green at these codes as I get no results

Sub Macro3()
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Range("A1").Select
Cells.Find(What:="Ttst063", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:= _
xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext _
, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(-2, 0).Range("A1").Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveCell.Offset(2, -2).Range("A1").Select
Cells.FindNext(After:=ActiveCell).Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(-2, 0).Range("A1").Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

Thank you for your help 1000000 times

try this

Sub Macro3()
    Dim maxRows         As Long
    Dim processRow      As Long
    Dim targetRow       As Long
    Dim sheetName       As String
    Dim searchItem      As String
    
    sheetName = ActiveSheet.Name
    
    With Sheets(sheetName)
    
        searchItem = "Ttstm063"
        
        'find max rows in the target sheet
        maxRows = getItemLocation("*", .Cells)
        lProcessRow = 1
        
        'find where the item is located with in range specified
        targetRow = getItemLocation(searchItem, .Range(.Cells(lProcessRow, "A"), .Cells(maxRows, "A")), bLastOccurance:=False)
        
        'LOOP WHILE WE ARE FINDING THE ITEM
        Do While (targetRow > 0)
            If (targetRow > 0) Then
                
                Application.CutCopyMode = False
                .Cells(targetRow - 2, "A").Copy
                .Cells(targetRow - 2, "c").PasteSpecial
                Application.CutCopyMode = False
                
                'MOVE ONE ROW AFTER CURRENT FIND
                lProcessRow = targetRow + 1
                
                'EXHAUSTED ROWS
                If lProcessRow > maxRows Then Exit Sub
                
                'FIND NEXT MATCH
                targetRow = getItemLocation(searchItem, .Range(.Cells(lProcessRow, "A"), .Cells(maxRows, "A")), bLastOccurance:=False)
            End If

Hi rizvisa1
Thank you for your response, however ,

at this line maxRows = getItemLocation("*", .Cells)
I get error compile error: Sub or Function not defined therefore I cannot test it.

Oh I thought I had edited thread to add that . This is the full code

        searchItem = "Ttstm063"
        
        'find max rows in the target sheet
        maxRows = getItemLocation("*", .Cells)
        lProcessRow = 1
        
        'find where the item is located with in range specified
        targetRow = getItemLocation(searchItem, .Range(.Cells(lProcessRow, "A"), .Cells(maxRows, "A")), bLastOccurance:=False)
