Data Fill in VB?
 

I have a worksheet with names in the first row and I used a look up formula
to gather data from another sheet that signifies dates (this ties in with the
rest of my workbook and how it behaves so has to remain this way) so
basically I have columns with 1's and 2's in them otherwise blank spaces.

1=begin date and 2=end date. I want to find the 1's in each column and fill
in with a 1 in between the 1 and 2 as well as changing the 2 to a one. What I
need is a string of 1's.

I have looked at a couple of data fill examples and it appears to be the way
to go but I need help with this.

Thanks in advance
Carrie

Data Fill in VB?
 

A sheet formula solution:
say col A has
Adam
b
b
1
b
b
2
b
b
etc .
where b's are blanks. Then put the following in B2
=IF(OR(MAX(A$2:A2)=1,A2=2),1,"")
and copy down and this will give you your 1's which
you could copy and paste special back to col A.

A VBA macro should be easy. Do you have a start? Dave D-C
