I'd like to loop through column 3 of my datafile to find
all empty cells in this field. Because I'd like to loop
down through each row I've created an iLastRow variable so
that the loop can Do Until it reaches iLastRow.

The bit I'd like some help with is..
The empty cells can be identified in two ways, either that
they are empty, so you could say do until is empty or that
they have a colourindex of 15, whichever is more efficient.
Then....
Where VBA finds a cell matching this criteria, I need to
grab the contents from the cell above to populate
the 'found' cell. Does this make sense? That way all my
fields in column 3 will be populated with a value so I can
run an autofilter against it.

Can anyone kindly help with the syntax?

Many thanks
Jacqui

Jacqui,

Sub test()
Dim i As Long, lngLastRow As Long

With Sheet1
lngLastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Row

For i = 2 To lngLastRow 'assuming cell 1 is always populated
If .Cells(i, 3).Value = "" Then .Cells(i, 3).Value = .Cells(i -
1, 3).Value
Next
End With
End Sub
