    Skip line if cell is empty

    Good afternoon folks,

    I'm struggling to find a solution to a problem and was wondering if anyone knew how I would get round this, I'm learning and utilising this forum to the best extent I can but this little step doesn't work for me.

    I have a macro (one I found and changed to my needs), that calls another macro (that I recorded/edited). The Macro is a loop that loops, performs a task, and steps down to perform again.

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    I think the solution may be something like: if cells(a,1) = "" then goto lastline

    From what I understand it will step down a cell, if it is blank then it will go back a line in my code and not perform the task, stepping down another line and checking if blank and repeating.

    Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

    Krist

    What do you want to happen when a blank is encountered?

    Do you want the code to end?

    Do you want the sub CombineUpdates not to be called and the code to move on to the next row?

    Something else?
    If posting code please use code tags, see here.

    Exactly this, it skips calling the sub CombineUpdates and moves on to next row to check if that one is empty, if populated it will run, if not it will skip to the next line.

    Further to the above guys, I tried to create an active x check box that when checked it will hide all the lines with "yes" in the column.

    It works until it reaches the first "yes" when I step through it. It successfully checks for the yes and skips over if it isn't a "yes", once it comes to the "yes" it has a Runtime Error '424' Object required.

    My code is here:

    I dont know if will have an effect but I am using a named list for the inputs Yes/No for the column.

    Again, any help would be awesome!
