Short and simple. What is the quickest, easiest & most efficient way to find the first blank cell within a column using VBA?
I am trying to write a macro that will do a bunch of stuff then go to the next blank cell in a particular column.
The rest of the code for the macro is irrelevant I just don't know how to code it to find the next blank cell in the column. It could be anywhere from cell A2 to A1000000. Basically I want the macro to select the cell that is next on the list to enter data into.
I am trying to clean up and simplify my macros by compartmentalizing frequently repeated commands. I like to search for text in column headings and define the cell containing it as a range that I can later use .column or .row commands on, so my macros are a bit more flexible. The code I currently use for this is
Dim XColumn As Range ‘the cell containing the text “X”
Cells.Select
Selection.Find(What:="X", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
Set XColumn = ActiveCell
I would like to be able to create a Macro (possibly name FindSetCell()) that will accept arguments and achieve the results of the above code in other macros
I think the command might look something like FindSetCell(“text to be searched for”,”name of newly Defined Range”) But I have not figured out how to code it

Here's what I tried using macro recorder...

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
Is there a way to find the first blank cell in a column using a formula?

i need to use the xlup facility to find the last used row in the spreadsheet, select the next line and then enter the data, but how to return to VBA the actual cell reference that has been selected after doing the xlup and down one row. I need to be able a total potential 31 rows of data from the userform.
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)
I am try to write a bit of code which will find the non blank cells in column H (Range H4:H24) and when it finds a non blank cell make column C in that row the active cell and then run a macro. Once the macro as been run i would like it to look for the next non blank cell.

And I would like to fill the A column with start dates, based on the first filled cell of the range on the same row, and the header value of its respective column (row 1). It's easier to show my expected result than write it actually:

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.
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.
I am working with arrays that extend far beyond their actual content, and so i am looking for a way, through macros, to find the first blank cell in a column and then copy all preceding cells in that column.

View 11 Replies View Relatedhow 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.

I am looking for a Macro that will search a column for blank cells, and when one is found will add text to the same row in another column. For example: The below is a spreadsheet. I am trying to find something that will search through column "C" in this case and add text (of my choice) to Column "A" if the cell is Blank. So Since cell C1 is Blank then Type "ERROR" is cell A1.

I was used "if" condition but I can't able to run.
I can't seem to find the answer to this. In VBA, how do you Find a cell or row based on multiple criteria? All I need is to find it's location. If it helps, here's an example:
Sheet 1 contains source data:
Date Name Time Complete
Sheet 2 contains an interactive worksheet using this data. On Sheet 1 there's an entry: 9/12/2006 George 03:30 PM
Sheet 2 displays those records with adjacent cells for entering data. When data is entered, I need the system to go back to Sheet 1, find the entry that matches this one, and put an "x" in the Complete column.
I need a macro to go through one column until it hits a blank cell and stop... the criterea of the loop:
if cell = "Multi" then **Move to X tab** else **move to X2 tab**
I have a large database of equipment on one sheet and an input form on another. For inventory control, when a user scans a number into the input form, the main inventory sheet is updated with the current location. I have it working using functions, but I need to do this in VBA. I am looking to do the following;
User enters 2222 on the input form. The code matches 2222 on the inventory sheet, moves the activecell 10 columns and updates a value in that cell. Cell A2343 is "2222" then Cell K2343 is changed to "WAREHOUSE 4". What is the best way to find the match and then select that cell in VBA?
I'd like a macro that does 3 things..
1. Find the last row (cell) of data in the "Customer Number" column. This search should be by the name "Customer Number" rather than by column letter because the column that "Customer Number" will be in can change.
2. Find the column named "Purple" (also by name for same reason)
3. If the "Purple" column has no blank cells in those same number of rows as the "Customer Number" column, delete the whole "Purple" column.
I'm trying to write a macro to do the following:
1) Take cell A1 and copy adjacent cell B1 in new sheet.
2) Then search cell B1 to find a match in column A.
3) If there is a match, I want to copy that adjacent cell in B and into the new sheet.
4) If there is no match, then leave as is from before and move onto the cell.
5) Continue for the rest of the data.
Here is an example of what i am trying to achieve This is in the first sheet:
Column A Column B
Car Saw
Dew Jacket
Pen Key
Saw Screen
Hand Shoe
Jacket Window
Screen Sock
Now I want this in the next sheet:
Column A Column B Column C Column D
Car Saw Screen Sock
Dew Jacket Window

I'm trying to write a macro to do the following.
1) Take cell A1 and look for a match in column A.
2) If there is a match, I want it to run the sub i've already written(Macro8), to update the data in its respective row.
3) If there is no match other than itself (cell A1), I want to automatically select the first empty cell in column A and run my sub (Macro8) to insert the data
Is this possible using code: Copy Cell A1 and Paste in first empty Cell down Column D. This would be connected to a command button. Both Cell A1 and Column D are on the same spreadsheet.

In my current macro, It displays most of what I am looking for, but not a duplicate ID if there is one. For example Screen, there are 2 IDs. My macro is only getting the first one and then skipping over the second ID. I would like it to where if there is a double or if it is there more than once that it gets all of the data.
Here is my macro.

I simply want a formula that will find the first (leftmost) date where a unit count occurs, returning the month of the first unit data point. I've seen several forum questions on how to search/ lookup the right-most non-blank/non-zero data point, however I would like the first, leftmost point. I have been unable to modify the forumula.
