Going to the first blank cell in the selected column
 

Hi everybody,

I have the follwoing code which works on going to the first blank cell
in column A ONLY ..

I want to adjust it to go to the first blank cell in the current cloumn
... wether it is A or B or what ever.


Code:
--------------------
Sub Blank()
Cells(Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Rows.Count + 1, 1).Select
End Sub
--------------------


I hope my question is clear.

Thank you for all.

Thank you soooooo much Norman ..

The code is fantastic .. but I had to add something to be working
perfectly,


Code:
--------------------
Sub Blank()
On Error GoTo Blank_Column
Cells(1, ActiveCell.Column).End(xlDown)(2).Select
Blank_Column:
If Err = 1004 Then
MsgBox "There is no data in this column", , "No Data"
End If
End Sub
--------------------


Thank you again Norman

Hi LoveCandle,

To additionally allow for data in the first cell of the active column or,
alternatively, for a fully populated column, try:

Public Sub Blank()
Dim rng As Range

Set rng = ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Cells(1)

If IsEmpty(rng) Then GoTo Blank_Column

If IsEmpty(rng(2)) Then
rng(2).Select
Else
On Error GoTo XIT
rng.End(xlDown)(2).Select
On Error GoTo 0
End If

Exit Sub

Blank_Column:
MsgBox "There is no data in the first cell of this column", , "No Data"
Exit Sub

XIT:
MsgBox "The column is full!", , "No room!"

End Sub
'===============

Hello Norman.
Just a similar question.

Given:
A1:A10 Data
A11:A14 Blanks
A15:??? Data
A100 Blank
A101:A200 Data

I use a rather complicated IF function to determine the range
(contiguous data rows) starting from A15:

Set SourceRange = [Sheet3!A15]
If Not IsEmpty(SourceRange(2, 1)) Then
Set SourceRange = SourceRange.Resize(SourceRange. _
End(xlDown).Row - SourceRange.Row + 1)
End If

Anything better from your hat?

Ciao
Bruno

Another one

Sub test()
On Error GoTo BodemUp
Columns("A").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks). Cells(1).Select
Exit Sub
BodemUp: Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp)(2).Select
End Sub

No better, but slightly different construction - and only because you ask:

Set srcRng = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A10:A15")

With srcRng
If Not IsEmpty(.Cells(.Count)(2)) Then
Set srcRng = Range(.Cells(1), .End(xlDown))
End If
End With


Saluti.

If your data actually holds constant values where you show Data and true
blanks where you show blanks
set rng = Columns(1).SpecialCells(xlConstants)
set SourceRange = rng.Areas(2)

or if all formulas and true blanks, then use xlFormulas

Ok Tom.
But my example was only an example.
I could have only one Area in the column.
More than one Area and ignore what area my range is in.
I could have a range made by one cell only.
My IF clause covers all these situations with only one
exception:
Set SourceRange = [V15],
when [V15] is blank and [V16] is not.
You can cover it simply extending the IF clause.
But you must choose what to do then.

I generally write algorithms to solve specific problems. If you don't know
what the problem is, then I am afraid I can't help. Please state that in
the problem statement so others don't waste their time.

I don't need your help and I don't want to waste your time,
then stop reading; it's no matter for you.

It was a question I specifically put to Norman Jones
and he understood it quite ok.
BTW, once again the question; just in case my english
has been not clear enough.

Given a cell address (say W34),
is there a less complicated way to define a range as a number
of non-blank contiguous cells starting from W34 down?
A way covering all possible cases, without any ambiguity?

The "complicated way" I'm using is the following:

Set SourceRange = [Sheet3!W34]
If Not IsEmpty(SourceRange(2, 1)) Then
Set SourceRange = SourceRange.Resize(SourceRange. _
End(xlDown).Row - SourceRange.Row + 1)
End If
