Default How to repeat a macro

there are no dumb questions (except the ones i ask)!

this is the same as davesexcel's route (except his would always refer to the
selected cell, whereas you could use mine to refer to something else if that
were relevant).

the 'Do Until numcheck = ""' statement just means that you keep on
processing the loop until you get to a blank cell ie, the contents of active
cell (that you have just scrolled to) = "" (ie, nothing in the cell)

hth,

Tim

Tim,
You're going to think my question is dumb
but what does "Do Until numcheck = """
what do I have to replace """" by

Sorry I'm a beginner !!

I don't know if its the best way but you could try the following (which
presumes that the you want to carry on until the active cell is empty): -

sub test()
Dim numcheck
numcheck = ActiveCell.Value
Do Until numcheck = ""

'<== YOUR CODE HER ==

ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select '<== or whatever your offset is
numcheck = ActiveCell.Value
Loop
end sub

hope this helps,

Tim

I have a macro that looks like this:

ActiveCell.Offset(2, 0).Range("A1").Select
Selection.Cut Destination:=ActiveCell.Offset(-2, 1).Range("A1")
ActiveCell.Offset(2, 0).Range("A1").Select
Selection.Cut Destination:=ActiveCell.Offset(-4, 2).Range("A1")
ActiveCell.Offset(2, 0).Range("A1").Select
Selection.Cut Destination:=ActiveCell.Offset(-6, 3).Range("A1")
ActiveCell.Offset(-5, 0).Rows("1:8").EntireRow.Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Range("A1").Select

I'd like to have Excel repeat the macro for as many entries there are
on
the
spreadsheet (this macro being valid onl for one entry). Right now I do
it
manually by pressing a shortcut for as long as it not done.

Any help will be gratefully appreciated.
