I have a column that has a random number of entries in it (sometimes cell
B1-B20 are filled sometimes B1-B4 are filled, etc). I am looking to write a
macro that when run, will check to see if there is a value in column B, and
if so, fill the corresponding cell in Column C with "FILLED"

Hi Diane

You don't say how Column B gets it's data.
Could you not simply use the IF function in column c
=IF(B1<"", "Filled","").

How about:

Range("b1").Select
Do Until ActiveCell.Value = ""
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = "Filled"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop

Dim iLastRow As Long
Dim i As Long

iLastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To iLastRow
If Cells(i, "B").Value < "" Then
Cells(i, "C").Value = "FILLED"
End If
Next i

As long as you fill data sequentially (i.e., no holes) and you have at
least one entry (i.e., B1 is not empty), a loop-less solution:

Option Explicit

Sub testit()
With ActiveSheet
Range(.Range("b1"), .Cells(.Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp)) _
.Offset(0, 1).Value = "filled"
End With
End Sub
