Thank you for your help. This macro grabs a text file, does some simple
manipulation, and saves a file for a report to grab. I'm probably missing
something simple. Below is the entire macro up to the point of this step.

Thank you for your help.

When attempting to use this, I get
"Run-time error '449':
Argument not optional."

My ignorance is such that I don't know what argument I am missing.

Any suggestions or direction is appreciated.

What is a simple way (in a macro) to copy a formula down an empty
column
and only paste the formula if data exists on that row?

I've used {Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").FillDown} when I know
how
many rows have data, but in this case I don't have any idea how many
rows
there may be with data.

Thanks for any help.
