I'm confused about what you want.

If you want the last value in column B:

dim LastCellInB as range
with activesheet
set lastcellinB = .cells(.rows.count,"B").end(xlup)
.range("c2").formula = "=B2/" & lastcellinb.address(0,0)
end with

Then you can use the other code to determine the row with Total in it.

Dave,

Many thanks for all your help! I'm new to VB. I'm actually looking at 2
different problems. Want I would like to do is divide cell B2 by the last
last cell with data in it in column B. The value of the division would be
placed in cell C2.

Then I'm trying to auto-fill column C beginning at cell C2 and going down
until I reach the row in column C that is the same row as column A that has
the word Total in it.

I'm confused about if you want to divide by the value in the row with total or
the previous row.

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim FoundCell As Range
Dim wks As Worksheet

Set wks = ActiveSheet

With wks
With .Range("A:A")
Set FoundCell = .Cells.Find(What:="total", _
After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False)

End With

If FoundCell Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Total not found in column B!"
Exit Sub
End If


.Range("C2:C" & FoundCell.Row - 1).FormulaR1C1 _
= "=rc[-1]/r" & FoundCell.Row & "c[-1]"
'or??
'= "=rc[-1]/r" & FoundCell.Row - 1 & "c[-1]"

End With
End Sub

Unfortunately it didn't because data appears after the word "Total" in column
A. I'm still trying to find out how to lock a cell by using code. You know
the $B$24.

anyone help me with the VB coding for this?

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[-1]/ "

Also, after I've done the division I'm trying to write code to auto-fill
from cell C2 down to the row that contains the word "Total" in column A. In
other words, if the word "Total" appears in Cell A41 then I would like to
have code that auto-fills cells C2:C41. The problem I'm having is the word
"Total" will appear only once but in different rows within column A each day.
Any thoughts?
