Default Macro in Excel

I am creating a macro, and need to select the next cell down after the
selected cell, and then to run the entire macro until the end of the data on
the sheet.

I am new, and would like very basic instructions, please.


Thanks, Cristina

Default Macro in Excel

Christina,

Selecting cells is a poor way of doing what you want because it takes time
and you can almost certainly achieve what you want without selecting
anything. The snippet of code below loops through the used range of column A

Sub Christina()
Dim MyRange As Range
Dim LastRow As Long
Set Sht = Sheets("Sheet1")
LastRow = Sht.Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set MyRange = Sht.Range("A1:A" & LastRow)
For Each c In MyRange
'your code
Next
End Sub

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Thanks for your answer, but my knowledge is limited. I don't know codes.
What I am doing is copying data next to columns as in the example below.

A B C D
Vendor ID
Brodies
Invoice #1 6/3/2010 $10.00
Invoice #2 6/4/2010 $20.00
Invoice #3 6/5/2010 $30.00
Invoice #4 6/6/2010 $40.00

Vendor ID
Caladium
Invoice #5 6/3/2010 $10.00
Invoice #6 6/4/2010 $20.00
Invoice #7 6/5/2010 $30.00
Invoice #8 6/6/2010 $40.00

I made a macro and have been able to copy the vendor ID next to the invoice
Numbers for Brodie, then a search for "vendor ID", and selected the cell
above CALADIUM. then would like to move to next cell below and copy the name
Caladium next to the invoice number(will copy the codes already in the macro)
and continue down the sheet until there is no more data.


Thanks,


Cristina
