I'm working on a spreadsheet where certain cells in columns need to be filled
with a formula, but only if cells in the same corresponding row from a
different column meet certain criteria. Example:

__|L__|M__|N__|O__|P__|Q__|R__|......|W__|
08|___|___|___|____|___|___|___|......|Condition|
09|___|___|___|____|___|___|___|......|Condition|
10|___|___|___|____|___|___|___|......|Condition|
11|___|___|___|____|___|___|___|......|Condition|
etc

Here's what I'd want to happen. If the condition in cell W8 is met, then
fill cell L8 with "Formula X". If it is not met, leave the cell alone (skip
and do not change contents). The condition is a text entry of "D1" (will
vary) in cell W8, if that's there, fill the cell with "Formula X", if not,
don't change a thing. I'd need this to happen from row 08 down until there
are no more entries in the W column. Each column would have its own macro - I
should be able to understand enough to change a single macro written for
column "L" as needed so there's no need to reply with multiple, unique,
macros for each column.

I located this solution to an old problem, but was unable to find the
example spreadsheet the user posted (expired link).

Sub CondAutofill()
Set rng = Range(Range("B4"), _
Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp))
For Each cell In rng
If Not IsEmpty(cell) And _
InStr(1, cell.Value, "total", _
vbTextCompare) = 0 Then
Range("D3").Copy cell.Offset(0, 2)
End If
Next
End Sub

This does accomplish close to what I need; however, I lack the knowledge to
modify it properly to meet my needs.

Thanks,

Hi,

Try this. It read form W8 to the last row in column w and populates column L
if it finds a match to D1

Sub sonic()
Dim MyRange As Range, MyText As String
MyText = Range("D1").Value
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "W").End(xlUp).Row
Set MyRange = Range("W8:W" & LastRow)
For Each c In MyRange
If c.Value = MyText Then
c.Offset(, -11).Value = "Something"
End If
Next
End Sub

The posted code works - just had to modify the part where it filled the cell
with "value = ..." to handle entering a formula. Thanks very much for your
help!!

Glad I could help and thanks for the feedback
