Copy/Paste Excel Macro
 

Hello,

What I'm trying to do is automate a process using an excel macro. What
I need the macro to do is to look for a blank cell in a range of data
in Column A, and whenever there is a blank space within that range,
paste some specific above information into this row. (I'm formatting
an excel file after taking it from another program). I would greatly
appreciate any help!

Thank you!

You could record a macro to filter on blank in coloum A then paste a formula
+cell above- this would then fill in your blanks

Thanks for your help

Your description of the problem is too vague for suggesting code that will
do the job. But here is a sample that would do some of what you describe:

Sub fillBlanks()
Dim lr As Long, rng As Range
Dim sh As Worksheet, c As Range
Set sh = ActiveSheet
lr = sh.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = sh.Range("A1:A" & lr)
For Each c In rng
If c.Row < 1 Then
If c.Value = "" And c.Offset(-1, 0) "" Then
c.Value = c.Offset(-1, 0).Value
End If
End If
Next
End Sub

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! THIS GREATLY HELPED ME AT WORK! With a little
modification, I was able to get it to copy all the cells I need in
just one macro!

THANKS AGAIN!
