I am not a VBA programmer by any stretch of the imagination. I am here to
ask for help with a macro that I _recorded_.

Part of what my macro does is:

Insert a column in a sheet of data
Type a formula into the top cell of the new column
Copy the formula down the column for as far as there is data

I did this last step by double clicking the fill handle and this is the code
that is generated

Range("B4").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("B4:B450")
Range("B4:B450").Select

That's OK this time, but what about when there is more or less lines of
data.

How can this be changed to accomplish what I am looking for?

Thanks,
Carlos

Hi Carlos

Try this

Will fill B1 till the row of the last cell with data in A

Sub test2()
Dim LastRow As Long
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
.Range("B1").AutoFill Destination:=.Range("B1:B" & LastRow) _
, Type:=xlFillDefault
End With
End Sub

one way:

Sub test()
Dim lRow As Long
lRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastC ell).Row
Range("B4:B" & lRow).FillDown
End Sub
