Just got it

Next

pass1 = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B104")

I have tried it several times and I have the results I am looking for.
Thank you very much for your help!

Mike,
OK. You have a mix of worksheet functions and VBA that could be written more
cleanly in one or the other, but
But try this:

Sub Button1_Click()
Dim Cell As Range

For Each Cell In Range(Range("a13"), Range("a13").End(xlDown))
Cell.Offset(0, 5).Value = MakeNewPassword(Cell.Value)
Next

End Sub

Private Function MakeNewPassword(CompanyName As String) As String
Dim pass1 As String
Dim pass2 As String

'You said you were using A4 to hold the ComapnyName
With Sheets("Sheet2")
.Range("A4").Value = CompanyName
pass1 = .Range("B1")
pass2 = .Range("B2")
MakeNewPassword = "PASS" & .Range(pass1) & .Range(pass2)
End With

End Function

You're partially right, it is only looking at A13, so here's what I did

In Sheet2 cell A4 I have the macro copy over cell A13 on down from Sheet
1.
This is hard to explain. I cannot fill down on Sheet 1 as the formula is
extremely complex it looks at a grid for PASS1 10 columns by 96 rows and
for
PASS2 26 columns by 96 rows.

So, here's where I'm at now.

Sheet2 cell A4 is currently set to =Sheet1!A13
A1 formula randomizes charachters and generates PASS1, we'll use B10
(contains 1234) for company 1
A2 formula randomizes charachters and generates PASS2, we'll use D20
(contains 4567) for company 1
Macro concatenates PASS + CELL B10 + CELL D20 = PASS12345678
I need this value placed in F13

Then my macro goes to Sheet 1 A14 and places that value in Sheet2 A4 which
in turn changes the value in A1 & A2, but A3 is generated from the
MakeNewPassword macro, which I cannot get it to do, then place that value
in
F14. I am getting it to change A4 from every company starting at A13
until
it finds an empty cell. Here's what I have now:

'
Sub Button1_Click()
Dim Cell As Range

For Each Cell In Range(Range("a13"), Range("a13").End(xlDown))
Cell.Offset(0, 5).Value = MakeNewPassword(Cell.Value)
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B4") = Cell.Offset(0, 0)
Next

End Sub

Private Function MakeNewPassword(CompanyName As String) As String
Dim pass1 As String
Dim pass2 As String

pass1 = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B1")
pass2 = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B2")
MakeNewPassword = Sheets("Sheet2").Range(pass1) &
Sheets("Sheet2").Range(pass2)
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B3") = "PASS" & MakeNewPassword
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("f13") = "PASS" & MakeNewPassword

End Function
'
With this it places the password in F13. In Sheet 2 cell A4 I have the
last
company name on my list so I know it's going down the list which get's the
PASS1 & PASS2, I just need the macro to get those values from the 2 grids
and
place them in A3 and in F14 on down. Thanks again

Mike,
From your description, I still have the feeling that you are only
generating
a password for the first company. e.g.
Sheet2!A1=Pass1(Sheet1!A13) "B10"
Sheet2!A2=Pass2(Sheet1!A13) "D20"

If Sheet2 A1 & A2 use formulas connected to Sheet1 A13, then they cannot
process any other companies located in Sheet1 A14+.
You need to update Sheet2 to point to A14 onwards, otherwise there is no
connection between your company list and generating a Password for each.

However, as you have a worksheet method of password generation, why not
just
fill down a column on Sheet1 with these formulas instead and forget the
VBA.
Seems that worksheet function INDIRECT may be useful to you here.

Unless I'm missing something, which is quite likely...

That didn't work either.

1) Sheet 1, A13 has: "company"
2) Sheet 2, A1 turns the "com" into a code let's say B10 (as in
cell), in
that cell is a value (I have a large grid with random numbers in it)
3) Sheet 2, A2 turns "pany" into a code let's say D20 (as in cell),
in
that
cell is a value
4) My macro looks up the value in cell B10 & it's 1234 and looks up
the
value in cell D20 and it's 5678, concatenates PASS+1234+5678 =
PASS12345678
and places it in Sheet 2, A3 and Sheet 1, F13
5) Since each client will get a new code in Sheet 2 A1 & A2 to get
from
the
grid, A3 will have a new PASS********
6) So, as I understand it, for each customer, Sheet 2, cells A1, A2,
A3
are
unique, A1 & A2 contain formulas, A3 is a value placed from the macro,
as
it
looks for the 2nd customer name, it needs to place their password in
A3
and
F14, the 3rd customer would need to be in A3 (as they all will) and
F15
and
so on
This is where I am stuck. It looks up Sheet 1 A13, calculates the
values
in
Sheet 2 A1 & A2, macro looks up the grid for the corrsponding values
in A1
&
A2 and gives me the final password in A3 and I have it placed again in
Sheet
1 on the same row as that customer (F13), I cannot get it to repeat
this
process on A14&F14 until it sees a blank line in column A, which means
there's no customer there, I then do not need a password. I also have
a
column N with a yes or no in it for e-mailing the password, this
works,
if
the yes or no should be the verification to create a password or not
that
would work also. Thank you for your time, this one's driving me
crazy! :)

Mike,
The looping code works fine; it's you MakeNewPassword routine that
is
wrong.
I see no connection between the CompanyName and actually making the
password. Surely you need to set some cell value = CompanyName to
actually
change something.

You only need to return the password from the function, not reset
this
hardcoded cell each. So delete this line:
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("F13") = "PASS" & MakeNewPassword

It works for a single password only. It found my client in A13,
retrieved
the password from my 2nd sheet based on the name of the client
scrambled
and
placed the unique password in F13. It did not go to A14 and get
their
password and post it in F14. Sheet 2 cell A1 & A2 scrambles &
"codes"
their
company name and A3 puts them together to create the password.
Here
is
what
I used:
'
Sub Button1_Click()
Dim Cell As Range

For Each Cell In Range(Range("a13"), Range("a13").End(xlDown))
Cell.Offset(0, 6).Value = MakeNewPassword(Cell.Value)
Next

End Sub

Private Function MakeNewPassword(CompanyName As String) As String
Dim pass1 As String
Dim pass2 As String

pass1 = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1")
pass2 = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A2")
MakeNewPassword = Sheets("Sheet2").Range(pass1) &
Sheets("Sheet2").Range(pass2)
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A3") = "PASS" & MakeNewPassword
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("F13") = "PASS" & MakeNewPassword

End Function
'

So when it's all done it would assign as many unique passwords in
column F
starting at row 13 as there are unique company names in column A
starting
at
row 13 until it finds an empty cell in column A, it stops and does
not
place
a password in column F corresponding to the blank cell in A

Thank you for your help on this!

Mike

Mike,
Something like this ?

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim Cell As Range

For Each Cell In Range(Range("a13"), Range("a13").End(xlDown))
Cell.Offset(0, 6).Value = MakeNewPassword(Cell.Value)
Next

End Sub

Private Function MakeNewPassword(CompanyName As String) As
String
'However you generate the PW
MakeNewPassword = StrReverse(CompanyName)
End Function

I have a company client list in column A rows 13:62. Column F
is
where
I
put
their new password, Column H is the contact name, column I is
their
e-mail
address. I have a macro that looks at the name in A13,
calculates
a
unique
password and places it in F13. I want the macro to move on to
A14
and
put
their password in F14 and so on until it sees an empty cell in
column
A.
