Fill MT cells in a range
Hello Folks!
My VBA knowledge is slim to none so I need a little help with a macro. I would like a macro that fills MT cells in a range with random uppercase letters A-Z. The cells will not always be contiguous. I'm playing around with a word search puzzle and looking for a quick way to fill the MT cells. Thanks for your help Biff |

Fill MT cells in a range
Biff,
I dont know what you mean with MT cells, but does this work for you? If fills the selected cells.. Sub FillPuzzle() Dim c As Range Randomize For Each c In Selection.Cells c = Chr$(64 + Int(26 * Rnd + 1)) Next End Sub keepITcool < email : keepitcool chello nl (with @ and .) < homepage: http://members.chello.nl/keepitcool "Biff" wrote: Hello Folks!

Fill MT cells in a range
Thanks keepITcool !
Yes, that works. I think I can figure out just enough to tweak it a little. Well, maybe not.....but I'll try it. At what line of that macro would I add code to make the selection of the MT(empty) cells automatic?

Fill MT cells in a range
Ok! Figured it out! Woo!
Sub FillPuzzle() Dim c As Range Range("A1:D7").Select Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Select Randomize For Each c In Selection.Cells c = Chr$(64 + Int(26 * Rnd + 1)) Next Range("A1").Select End Sub Biff -----Original Message----- Thanks keepITcool !

Fill MT cells in a range
And using KeepItCool's code:
Option Explicit Sub FillPuzzle2() Dim c As Range Dim myRng As Range Set myRng = Nothing On Error Resume Next Set myRng = Intersect(Selection, _ Selection.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)) On Error GoTo 0 if myrng is nothing then msgbox "No empty cells in selection" exit sub end if Randomize For Each c In myRng.Cells c = Chr$(64 + Int(26 * Rnd + 1)) Next c End Sub Select your range and run the code.

Fill MT cells in a range
Thanks to both Dave and keepITcool!
Here's what I ended up with: Sub FillPuzzle() Dim c As Range Application.ScreenUpdating = False Range("Puzzle").Select Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Select Randomize For Each c In Selection.Cells c = Chr$(64 + Int(26 * Rnd + 1)) Next Range("A1").Select Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub Works just fine. Now, if I could only figure a way to automatically place the words in the puzzle !!! That one might cause some brain damage though!
