I'm not trying to be mean (honestly) but you need to work on your "posting skills". As the forum guidelines indicate: 1) Use concise, accurate thread titles. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will not get quick attention or may not be answered.
Nearly EVERYONE that posts to this group would like help with a macro. What YOU would like to do is find some people that can help with your specific problem. Your title helps to catch the eye of the people with the expertise (and interest) in your problem. Secondly, Your description is confusing. "If cell value in column J of worksheet "Sheet1" = "Apple" or "Pear" then copy that cell plus the previous 4 cells to a new worksheet called "Sheet2". Are you wanting to run the macro as a button? or when a value is entered? In your sample file, I would have expected to find (5) cells filled in "Sheet2". (since, I would assume, "Apple" or "Pear" was going to be entered into a cell in Sheet1) Instead, I see (7) ROWS of data (not cells) Could you please explain the STEPS in which you wish to activate this macro. What the sheets look like to START. What you plan to do to make the macro run. what is to be "tested" and what EXACTLY you expect to see happen?
