Default Macro help! Selecting rows after running a filter

Hello

I have recorded a macro to automatically import a file and then run a number
of filters through it and to display the results in a separate worksheet.

I do not have any Visual Basic knowledge, so am just using the "record
macro" function. So far so good, but now I've run into a problem.

How do I edit my macro so that it can automatically replace the contents of
cells in a particular column in as many rows as are required?

EXAMPLE:

Let's say the macro runs a custom filter in Column X to show all the rows
which have a value of either "A" or "B" in that column. Now, what I want the
macro to do is to automatically select all those rows and replace the
contents of all the cells in Column Y with the value "1".

How do I get the macro to select all the necessary rows given that the
number of rows will be different every week I run the macro? That is, when
I record the macro and run the custom filter, it may truncate my list to 10
rows of data. When I then go to use the macro the following week on a newly
imported file, the truncated list may have 17 rows of data. The following
week, 5 rows of data, and so on.

I guess this gets down to Excel navigation and the ability to automatically
select only the displayed rows of a particular column.

I hope this all makes sense....?

Any help would be most appreciated!

Thanks,

Joe.
