Auto fill cells
I am dumping a file from another program. In one of the columns, the account
#, only the first cell in each group is filled in. Is there a way to automatically go through and fill the other cells in each group with the account number? I could manualy copy and paste each group, but the report is 12,000 lines. I don't have that much time and my interns have left for the day. I appreciate the help |
Auto fill cells
Those interns must have sensed something was up and gotten out of there!!
Notice, this works on ColumnA; change to suit: Sub FillIn() Dim lastrow As Long lastrow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row Range("A2:A" & lastrow).Select Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Select Selection.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C" End Sub Also: http://www.contextures.com/xlDataEntry02.html BTW, don't have people do things like this. That's what Excel is for. If you can describe the logic, you can code it. Regards, Ryan--- -- RyGuy "Cheffred" wrote: I am dumping a file from another program.

You could do this without the use of VBA
Select the column with the blanks. F5SpecialBlanksOK Type an = sign in active blank cell. Point or arrow to cell above. Hit CTRL + ENTER.
