Find The First Cell Above That Is Not Blank

Mar 14, 2007

I have a column with random numbers of blank cells.

I have a method of looking up a particular number in this column, but I want to be able to display the number in the first cell that is above it, that contains a number.

Is there some way to use the first cell (that is not blank) above a given cell in a function?
How can I reference this cell?

The numbers in this column are not in order.

I am using this to find the first and last date that a particular group of shares were purchased.

Find Last 'non-blank' Cell

Aug 26, 2007

I have a list of #'s starting from 1, and the next cell down adds 1 to that.. based on some other info, it will either add 1 or come out blank.. i want to be able to have cell A1 point out which is the last cell that has a number and is not blank.. does this make sense?

Here is the formula in this column..

In this sheet cell L284 has the same formula in it as cell L283, however because R283 is blank it also comes out blank...

Here is a copy of the sheet.. I want cell A1 to equal 282 in this example...

Find The Last Non Blank Cell In A Row

Jun 21, 2008

I am trying to find the last non blank cell in a row. I am using the following line of
RC = Range("IV" & AR).End(xlToLeft).Column

It does not quite work for me, because there are what appears to be blank cells in the row but there is a formula that is auto filled and returns a blank. Can this line of code be modified or is there a different line of code I can use.

Find First Non Blank Cell In A Row

Oct 24, 2008

I need to know the value (which is a date) of the first non-blank cell in a range in a row. I have found some array formulas, but they either return it for the whole row (which I don't want), or they return text (which I don't want), or they don't work at all.

The range is: B9:FL9. Some of the cells in this range are blank, some are "0", and some contain dates. I need to know the most recent (furthest left) cell that contains a date and what that date is.

Find Last Cell In Column And Paste Formula In Next Blank Cell Then Repeat On Remaining Columns

Jan 14, 2013

I need a macro to find the last cell in the column, then copy the formula to the next blank cell. Then, it goes back to the last cell (above) and paste's values. Then, go to the next column and repeat the process. I can do this but have to call each cell separatly...however, I would like to do it in a loop to simplify things. It would be great to even be able to just set the start and ending columns. Here is my current code:

Dim rng As Range, aCell As Range
Set rng = Range("C8, D8, E8, F8, G8, H8, J8, K8, L8, M8, N8, O8, P8, Q8, R8, S8, T8, U8")
For Each aCell In rng
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False

[Code] .......

It does not go to the next column, instead it stays in the same column and repeats the process.

Find Blank Cell And Compare...

Jun 29, 2009

I am trying to write a macro and i am having trouble hgetting it right. I have large amount of data in columns and what I would like to do is the following.

1. First I need to find the first blank cell in that row.

2. After finding the blank cell, I would like to compare the value in 3rd column from the blank cell( For example if the last blank cell is Row1,ColumnR then I need to Compare Row1,ColumnO) with Column E ( Is always Column E).

3. Based on above example if Row1,ColumnO>Row1,ColumnE, then goto next row else Row1,ColumnR value should be Row1,ColumnE and I would like to get Row1,ColumnS and Row1,ColumnT vaues to be same as last 2 columns from the blank cell which was determined first (i.e., from above example Row1,ColumnS and Row1,ColumnT vaues to be same as Row1,ColumnP and Row1,ColumnQ).

4.I would like to perform the above procedure for all the rows in the worksheet and the blank cell may be anywhere in the column for that particular row.

I don't know whetehr it is possible to write a macro to perform above procedure or i need to do that manually which i hate as i have large amount of data.

I have a row of dates with a variable number of nonblank cells between them. e.g.:

A1 1/9/12
B1 6/9/12

D1 8/9/12
E1
F1
G1 12/9/12

I want to calculate the NETWORKDAYS between dates, but where there is a blank cell, I want to be able to use the date in the previous nonblank cell. For example, NETWORKDAYS(B1,D1), if cell C1 is blank or NETWORKDAYS(D1,G1), if cell F1 is blank.

how to get the value of the previous nonblank cell and nest it inside the NETWORKDAYS formula?

How To Find First Blank Cell In A Column

Jun 25, 2013

I am looking for a way to find the first blank cell in a column.

Range("A2").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).Select

The problem is that there are no 'blank cells because they have a formula in them that checks a different sheet for data. If there is data then it simply copies that data. If there is no data then the value of the cell is "". So the cell shows blank but in fact it isn't.

So how do I find the first cell that don't show data because of the formula that resides in the cell? Here is the cells formula..

=IF(Data!J2"",Data!J2,"")

Starts in A2 through A151

Lookup Find If Copy In Next Blank Cell

Mar 4, 2008

I have a workbook with 12 sheets. On the 12th sheet I need some VB to go to each of the other tabs and find the letter “E” or “H” in column F. Once the “E” or “H” is found in column F and a number =>9 is found in column E then copy that row from column A-F and paste this row to sheet 12.
On sheet 12, I would like to be able to paste the row in a way that will hold the date in column A. The date can also be copied from each sheet found in cell E1. Also, the tab name has to be copied to sheet 12 with the row the E or H was found if “=>9 criteria” was met.

Find Non-blank Cell In Column Then Copy Row

Jun 5, 2008

Basically this is what I want to do:

1. Search a specific column (Column 21/U) for non-blank values in Worksheet 1
2. Copy the entire row containing the non-blank values
3. Paste these rows into Worksheet 2.

Repeat steps 1-3 an additional 2 times, where Worksheet 1 is always searched but one more column to the right (ex. Column 22/V) is the target column for the search, then the rows are pasted into the next Worksheet (for ex. Worksheet 3)

How To Find Middle Initial And Replace With Blank Cell

Aug 28, 2012

I have a listing with Middle Initials in column D. D also contains dates and Names. I want to remove the Middle Initials only. I need to do this without moving around cells. So a Find:="A", Replacement:="" type of situation. Right now I have 26 two line entries to take care of this, but I know it has to be easier and use less lines. (Trying to consolidate code for a better look).

Here is some of what I have (that works, but is long):

Code:
'
' Replace Middle Initial from Prod Sheet
'
Cells.Replace What:="A", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder _
:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False

[Code]...

I thought that I might be able to do something like this, but I can't get it to work.

Code:

Dim Alpha as Variant
Alpha = Array("A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z")
For ABet = 1 to Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUP).Row
If Range(ABet) = Alpha Then Range(ABet) = ""
Next ABet

' or I thought maybe this would work.

Cells.Replace What:=("A", "L", "R", "M") Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder _ :=xlByRows, MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False

' or I thought maybe this would work with the variables.

If Range("B" & ABet) = Alpha Then Range("A" & ABet) = "" None of them worked though.

To Find A Total Number Of Rows To A Blank Cell

Mar 14, 2007

I need to find the total number of rows down to the next blank cell (and then perform a function based on that number).

I'm using:

CountA(A1,xlDown)
Situation: I have a raw data import - each record is anywhere from 2 to 9 rows, and I need to move each row in that group into a column.

I would like to use something like:

totalRows = Application.WorksheetFunctions.CountA(Range("A1, xlDown"))
If totalRows = 4 Then
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
Selection.Cut
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 1).Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
etc.

Find Blank Cell Then Fill Column With Data

Apr 20, 2006

I have a userform that I am using to populate a column with data. I have the following code to find the next blank cell on the first row to enter the data from the first textbox in the userform

ActiveSheet.Range("av1").End(xlToLeft).Offset(0, 1).Value = TextBox1

I was then going to populate the rest of the cells in the column by changing the range "A1" to "A2" and so on. The problem I have is that not all of the cells have a compulsory entry so when the end(xlToLeft) function may not always end in the same column and the data will be staggered.

First Entry
A B C D E
1X
2X
3X
4
5X

Second Entry
A B C D E
1XY
2XY
3XY
4Y
5XY

What I want to do is find the first blank cell in the first row, as that will have a compulsory entry, and then fill the rest of the cells in the same column. So if the first blank cell is D1 i want to go down then D2,D3,D4 etc.

I can do it going across the rows but cannot figure it out using columns.

Find First Blank Cell In Column & Return Adjacent Date Less Than Or Equal To Today

Apr 4, 2008

how to make the data look like a table with three columns. Other than the date, it is space delimited. I have a tracking spreadsheet where Column A is populated with dates for the year. Column C contains daily values.

I don't always start entering daily values on the first day of the year, e.g., this year the first value in Column C corresponds to March 9. All values in Column C are contiguous - there are no blank cells until the value in Column A is greater than today's date code. I would like to use a formula (rather than VBA) to look down Column C and find the first non-blank entry where the value in Column A is less than or equal to today(). In this case, the formula should return the value for March 9, 2008.

What is happening now is that it is returning #value (because I guess technically the cell isn't blank?)
