Sub surface()
n = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To n
If Cells(i, 1).Value = 123 Then
Cells(i, 2).Value = "active"
End If
Next
End Sub

Try this. Insert the code below into a standard module of the
workbook you're working with. Replace the constants at the top to
suit your needs (I tried to make it more broad than you've outlined).
Hopefully it's self-explanatory.

Public Sub fillAdjacentColumn()
Const sheetName As String = "Sheet1"
Const columnToLookIn As String = "A:A"
Const lookFor As String = "123"
Const fillWith As String = "active"
Const columnsToTheRight As Integer = 1

Dim rngA As Excel.Range
Dim rng As Excel.Range
Dim wsh As Excel.Worksheet

Set wsh = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(sheetName)

With wsh
Set rngA = Intersect( _
.Range(columnToLookIn), _
.UsedRange)
End With

For Each rng In rngA.Cells
If rng.Value = lookFor Then
rng.Offset(0, _
columnsToTheRight).Value = fillWith
End If
Next rng
End Sub

Do you also want the next 456 to receive "hold" in column B and the next 789 to
receive "clear" in column B.
