Hello:

I have created a simple macro that, among other things, places a formula in
I2 that subtracts H2 from G2. The macro, then, copies this formula down the
entire column of I and formats column I to be "values" instead of "formulas".

That's all well and good. But I only want the macro to conduct this sort of
copying and formatting of column I only where there is data in column H. I
mean, if the data in the spreadsheet does not go past row 131, then I do not
want any data in column I that is beyond I131.

Could someone please review my macro below and let me know how I can modify
the VBA code to accomplish this? Thanks!

Hi,

Try this

Range("I1").Value = "Need"
lastrow = Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "H").End(xlUp).Row
Range("I2:I" & lastrow).FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[-2]-RC[-1]"
Range("I2:I" & lastrow).Copy
Range("I2:I" & lastrow).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, _
Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False

Better

Sub nn()

lastrow = Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "H").End(xlUp).Row
With Range("I2:I" & lastrow)
.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[-2]-RC[-1]"

This worked perfectly, Mike! Thank you!

If I have this issue in the future, what are some good VBA "buzzwords" to
put into my programming to tell it to only copy data to the last record where
there is data?

Hi,

It's a vey common question and there are several way of finding the last row
including the one I used

lastrow = Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "H").End(xlUp).Row
Have a lookhere for som other methods, it also tells you seme methods for
use on a worksheet
