What code do I need to allow the first blank cell found in a range to be
highlighted.

Example

D1:D12 contains a value
D13 is the first blank cell in "D"

C5 is hightlighted

when code is run D13 is highlighted

Thank you if you can help with this.

This should help! This code will start at the top of Column D and scan down
to find the first empty cell and the highlight that cell yellow, then exit.
Let me know if I need to tweak it for you. Hope this helps! If so, let me
know, click "YES" below.

Sub Highlighter()

Dim lngLastRow As Long
Dim rng As Range

lngLastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row

For Each rng In Range("D1:D" & lngLastRow)
If IsEmpty(rng) Then
rng.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
Exit For
End If
Next rng

End Sub

You can avoid looping if D13 is a blank cell (no formula within).

Range("D1").End(xlDown).Offset(1).Interior.ColorIn dex = 3

Hi

Both solutions have performed there function, only the cell that is color
highlighted is not "click" hightlighted, if you can understand what I mean.
Like, if you were to select a cell with the mouse. Like an OnClick event.

So you just want to "Select" the cell? Use this,

Sub Highlighter()

Dim lngLastRow As Long
Dim rng As Range

lngLastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row

For Each rng In Range("D1:D" & lngLastRow)
If IsEmpty(rng) Then
rng.Select
Exit For
End If
Next rng

End Sub

No looping is necessary Ryan, this single line of code will do the same
thing...

Range("D1").End(xlDown).Offset(1 + 2 * (Range("D1") = "")).Select

I should work on one liner coding. I'm falling in love with loops, which
could be dangerous at times assuming they take longer to execute.

That will not work if D1 is the empty cell... take a look at the
modification of your statement that I posted Ryan (and also look at the
response I posted to your other message as well).

Oops..I didnt notice your response to my post..Try your code with Range D1:D5
blank...

You could try the below version to handle those scenarios...

Range("D" & IIF(Range("D1")="",1,Range("D1:D13").Find ("").row)).Select

I think you would need to modify your code to this to protect against D1
being a blank cell...

Range("D1").End(xlDown).Offset(1+2*(Range("D1")="" )).Interior.ColorIndex=3

In keeping with my response to your latest response to me in the other
sub-thread, it would be better to use either of these instead....

Columns("D").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)(1).Int erior.ColorIndex=3

or

Columns("D").Find("", After:=Cells(Rows.Count, "D")).Interior.ColorIndex=3
