VBA if Column(“A”).Cell(i).Value begins with “x” then Column(“G”).Cell(i).value = “String”

Question

How can I write this in VBA? I know it's a lot of criteria, but I tried to be thorough.

IF Cell.Value in Column "Job Number" (column "A") begins with (11*,12*,13*,14*) THEN cell.value in Column "TEAME NAME" (column "G").ROW(i) = "AIRFRAME"

IF Cell.Value in Column "Job Number" (column "A") begins with "35W" THEN cell.value in Column "TEAME NAME" (column "G").ROW(i) = "WIRING"

IF Cell.Value in Column "Job Number" (column "A") begins with "34S" THEN cell.value in Column "TEAME NAME" (column "G").ROW(i) = "SOFTWARE"

IF Cell.Value in Column "Job Number" (column "A") begins with "32EB" OR "35EB" THEN cell.value in Column "TEAME NAME" (column "G").ROW(i) = "AVIONICS"

IF Cell.Value in Column "Job Number" (column "A") begins with "32EF" OR "35EF" BUT <> Cell.Value in Column "TEAM #" (column "H") = "Q3S251" THEN cell.value in Column "TEAME NAME" (column "G").ROW(i) = "AVIONICS"

IF Cell.Value in Column "Job Number" (column "A") begins with "23X" BUT <> Cell.Value in Column "TEAM #" (column "H") = "Q3S251" THEN cell.value in Column "TEAME NAME" (column "G").ROW(i) = "UTILITIES & SUBSYSTEMS"

IF Cell.Value in Column "TEAM #" (column "H") = "Q3S251" THEN cell.value in Column "TEAME NAME" (column "G").ROW(i) = "FUNCTIONAL TEST"

IF Cell.Value in Column "TEAME NAME" (column "G").ROW(i) = "PROPULSION" THEN Cell.Value = "UTILITIES"

Pretty much this is a code, which you can you to start:

Option Explicit

Public Sub TestMe()

    Dim my_cell As Range

    Set my_cell = ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1)

    Select Case True

        Case Left(my_cell, 3) = 11 Or Left(my_cell, 2) = 12:
            my_cell.Offset(0, 5) = "new value 11"
        Case Left(my_cell, 3) = "34S":
            my_cell.Offset(0, 5) = "new value 34S"
        Case Else:
            my_cell.Offset(0, 5) = "case else"
    End Select

End Sub

As a next step, make sure that you set my_cell correctly and make the conditions and the results the way you want them. Enjoy! :)
