Fill cell that is blank
Hi,
I have a column that is 700 odd rows long. In each cell there is a phone number, but in some cells in the column there is no data at all. How can I run a macro to look at every cell in the column and if it is blank, add a number, word or something and if it is not blank, to leave it and continue to the next? Cheers, Aaron. |

Try this on a spare copy ..
Assuming source data in A1 down Put in B1: =IF(A1="","xxx",A1) Copy B1 down to last row of data in col A This will fill blank cells or cells with "" (zero length strings) in col A with "xxx" Then freeze the evaluated values in col B with an in-place: Copy Paste special Check "Values" OK. Then delete col A. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Slashman" wrote: Hi, I have a column that is 700 odd rows long.

Why do you need a macro? 1) Select your column up to the last entry 2) Push F5 -. Special - Blanks (this will select all blank cells in your previous selection) 3) Add your number, word or whatever 4) Push ENTER to go to the next blank cell Cheers, Joerg |
