I need to use a function or procedure to find the last o in each cell
in column(a)
Can anyone please help thanks.


I'm interpreting your request as wanting to find the position of the
last 0 in the cell.

Assuming your data starts in A1 and you want the zero positions in B1

The following is one procedure.

Sub FindLastZero()
Dim MyString As String
Dim iZeroPos As Integer, icount As Integer
Dim rStart As Range

Set rStart = Range("a12")
Do While rStart.Offset(icount, 0) < ""
MyString = StrReverse(rStart.Offset(icount, 0))
If InStr(1, MyString, "0") < 0 Then
iZeroPos = WorksheetFunction.Find("0", MyString)
iZeroPos = Len(MyString) - iZeroPos + 1
rStart.Offset(icount, 1) = iZeroPos
End If
icount = icount + 1
Loop
End Sub
