Macro:- Find first blank cell and write text
 

Hi All,
I have a spreadsheet in 9 Columns (A to I) and, at the moment, 772 Rows.
I want to write a macro that:-
Finds the first blank cell in column B, (ie B772)
Writes some text into that cell,
Steps to the next cell on the right, (ie C772)
Writes some text into that cell,
Steps to the next cell on the right, (ie D772)
Writes some text into that cell,
Steps across 2 cells to the right, (ie F772)
Writes some text into that cell,
Steps across 3 cells to the right and 1 down, (ie I773)
Writes some text into that cell.
End the macro.

The text being written to the cells will be the same on all occasions.

Can anyone help pleaese, many thanks.

You may like this. You don't say what text you need to input for each cell.
Sub putindata()
With Cells(Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row + 1, "a")
.Value = "aaa"
.Offset(, 1) = "bbb"
.Offset(, 2) = "ccc"
.Offset(, 3) = "dd"
.Offset(, 5) = "ff"
.Offset(1, 8) = "i773"
End With
End Sub

Jacob,

Many thanks. Your solution works beautifully, so simple, so elegant, when
you know how, I have a lot to learn.

Cheers,
