![]() Hello there, im a newbie here so pardon me if my questions seem a bit too easy ;) I have quite a lot of data sheets that contains assorted data in blocks of 14 lines, so I wish to make a macro that creates a new column in the left and fills it with numbers from 1 to 14 (line 2 = 1, line 3 = 2 ... line 15 = 14, line 16 = 1, line 17 = 2 ... ). This would allow me to use autofilters to extract data. Unfortunately, my current macro uses an archaic copy/paste rinse and repeat process that takes quite a while to fill the column. I figure a faster way to do it, algorithm-wise, would be: "FOR (line=2) TO (line=max) FILL_CELL_WITH (MOD( linenumber-2 , 14 ) +1 )" line 2 - MOD 0,14 = 0+1 = 1 line 3 - MOD 1,14 = 1+1 = 2 (...) line 15 - MOD 13,14 = 13+1 = 14 line 16 - MOD 14,14 = 0+1 = 1 line 17 - MOD 15,14 = 1+1 = 2 (...) (I hope you understand my attempt at generic algorithm language) What i need is the syntax for this FOR command on VBA, and how i could detect the "max line" in my data sheet. Unfortunately, each block of 14 lines contains blank spaces in them :( And for the record, i know i could learn this studying the manual, but my grad school is currently taking all of my precious time :( Thanks in advance for the help ;) -- Nodles ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nodles's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29391 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=514378 |
