The following generates an error "Next" without a "For". What do I put in so

Thanks

Be a bit more consistent with your indenting, and this sort of error
would stick out like a sore thumb:
For a = 4 To 31
If Cells(a, 1).Value = "John" Then
For b = 2 To 32
If Cells(2, b).Value = "Fri" Then
Cells(b, a).Select
With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 0
.Pattern = xlGray8
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
Next b
End If
Next a

The problem is there's no End If for the second If. Also, VB doesn't
need "Next b" and "Next a" - you can leave them both as just "Next" with
no problems.
