Sub Refresh_Data()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Dim sh As Worksheet

Set sh = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Project_Plan")




sh.Unprotect "1234"




Dim i As Long




sh.Range("G3:XFD3").UnMerge

sh.Range("G1:XFD3").Clear

sh.Range("G1:XFD3").Orientation = 0


Dim lc, lr As Integer

For i = Application.WorksheetFunction.Min(sh.Range("C:C")) To Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(sh.Range("D:D"))

    If sh.Range("G1").Value = "" Then

        sh.Range("G1").Value = i   

    Else

        lc = sh.Range("XFD1").End(xlToLeft).Column

        sh.Cells(1, lc + 1).Value = i

    End If

Next i

lc = sh.Range("XFD1").End(xlToLeft).Column

If sh.Range("C1").Value = "Daily" Then

   sh.Range("G3").Value = "=G1"

      For i = 7 To lc Step 7

        sh.Cells(3, i).Value = "Week-" & i / 7

        sh.Range("E3").Copy
