Question

macro is searching A column for cells with specific text and writes another text to another cell in all next rows until it finds next A cell with specific text and does the same. ex

A1 contains text "(1)" then write text "a" in C2,C3,C4.... until it finds

All the other cells between cells that contain text contain numbers

Answer 1

you can go like this:

Option Explicit

Sub main()
    Dim iArea As Long
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim texts As Variant

    texts = Array("a", "b", "c") '<--| array containing your "texts", be sure therer are at least as much elements as cells with "('number')" in column A

    With Worksheets("mySheet") '<--| change "mySheet" to your actual worksheet with data name
        With .Range("A1", .Cells(.Rows.count, "A").End(xlUp)) '<--| reference its column "A" cells from row 1 down to last not empty one
            With .Resize(.Rows.count + 1)
                .Cells(.Rows.count).Value = "number : (0)" '<--| add "dummy" "specific" text. it'll be removed by the end of the macro
                .AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:="=*(*)*" '<--| filter it with "*(*)*" string
                If Application.WorksheetFunction.Subtotal(103, .Cells) > 1 Then '<--| if any filtered cell found
                    Set rng = .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible) '<--| set the range corresponding filtered cells
                    .Parent.AutoFilterMode = False '<--| remove autofilter and show all rows back
                    With rng '<--| reference filtered cells
                        For iArea = 1 To .Areas.count - 1 '<--| loop through them (each filtered cell is an 'Area') excluding last ("dummy") one
                            .Parent.Range(.Areas(iArea).Cells(2, 3), .Areas(iArea + 1).Cells(1, 3).Offset(-1)).Value = texts(iArea - 1) 'fill column "C" (third from referenced cell in column A) with 'texts' element corresponding to current area
                        Next iArea
                    End With
                End If
               .Cells(.Rows.count).ClearContents '<--| clear add "dummy" "specific" text
            End With
        End With
    End With
End Sub
