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.
Short and simple. What is the quickest, easiest & most efficient way to find the first blank cell within a column using VBA?

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
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.

Fill the blank cell in D column with "Easy", if Column A is "CN" and column B is "EA"
Fill the blank cell in D column with "Medium", if column A is "DE" and column B is "MA".
After Run the macro:
i.e
ABCDCN
EA
Polymer
Easy
DE

I was used "if" condition but I can't able to run.
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'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
Pen Key
Saw Screen Sock
Hand Shoe
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
So I have the macro written, but I don't get the complete data that I am looking for. This is what I am trying to achieve
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
Car Saw Screen Mouse
Dew Jacket Window
Pen Key
Saw Screen Sock
Hand Shoe
Jacket Window
Screen Sock
Screen Mouse
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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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
I am manually scrolling through Excel right now to find all blank cells in column L. Some cells have dates, others are blank. IF L is BLANK, I go to row K and copy/paste row K to row L. IF K is BLANK, I got to row I and copy/paste to row L.
Is there a statement I can put into row L to basically say "If blank copy/paste from row K. If row L and K are blank go to row I and copy/paste to L." ???
I want to find the Row Number, not necessarily the cell value, of the last non-blank entry in a Column.
If the address of this row is found, then that could also be useful. I believe there are some simple Excel functions to do this, maybe involving the X1Up feature. I've searched the threads and haven't found a clear answer this.
Below is code that I custom wrote, but its long and tiresome to use.
'The purpose of this sub is to find the last filled row in a column
'Knowing this last row is useful for telling later
' looping operations which row to stop on.
'The logic of this sub is that it will look down a column.........
I would like to search Column C for an instance of the text "Std. Residual", then cycle through the non blank cells to the right and run some formatting code:
VB:
'this line will be modified so that i cycle through the non blank cells that i have found
For row_cycle = 1 To 7
'not signifcant
If Abs(ActiveCell) < 1.96 Then
Selection.Interior.Color = 255
[Code] .....
I then want to search for the next instance of "Std. Residual" in Column C, do the same again, and so on for the entire Worksheet.
I have checked archives, some similiar but not quite what I want.
In code below I want the output instead of going offset one column to right in same row to go one column to right into the next blank cell.
This is for a template for teachers to analyze student testing data. On sheet4, wrong answers in each column are noted by a lack of a + in the corresponding cell. I want to paste the names of the students who missed each question into sheet 5.
I've done it by repeating a filter macro, but I manually copied the following separately for the 75 columns in the template.
Problem #1 - there must be a more efficient code, something that automatically loops to the next column
Problem #2 - the template has 75 columns, but many tests have fewer questions. I'm trying to find a way to stop the loop whenever it hits a blank cell in Row 10 on sheet 4. I've done it with an if/then in the last section on the above code, but where I'm at now, i would have to add that to the code section for each column. Which isn't that big a deal, but I figure there must be a better way.
