Excel VBA - Select cells containing specific texts in Specified row and shift cells down












1















I am new to Excel VBA, I tried creating a code searching through different forums, which will select the cells that contain "NNN", "MG","FS","N","IG" etc text strings in Row 7 and Shift those cells down. But I got stuck in middle and got an error, also I didn't get the idea how to use multiple criteria ("NNN","MG","FS") for selection.



Screenhot of Excel File



Sub select_text_and_shiftdown()
Dim r As Range, v As Variant
Dim w1 As Worksheet
Set w1 = Sheets("Input")
w1.Activate
For Each r In Intersect(Range("7:7"), ActiveSheet.UsedRange)
v = r.Value
If InStr(v, "NNN") > 0 Then
r.Application.Selection.inset shift = xlDown

End If
Next r
End Sub


I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks ! & Happy New Year 2019.
