    Type Mismatch when switching from single cell Range value to multiple cell range value

    Went from a single cell --> Range("B" & r) which was working fine, to multiple cell --> Range("B" & r & ":D" & r) and now getting a type mismatch error. Not sure why... Your help is appreciated!

    Hi, Mr E,

    Please take a few minutes to re-read the forum rules, and then edit your post to add CODE tags.

    Thanks.

    Thank you.

    Maybe (untested):

    This copies the first row in all rows down to iRow. Upon looping to a row with data entered, it should not replace existing data. Thoughts?

    I created a work around by adding three separate loops for each column, but I figured there should be a way to execute this with less code. See below:

    Thoughts?
    Yes -- explain clearly in words and sentences what you have and what you're trying to do.

    A workbook with before and after examples would help.

    Given: B:D column of first row in loop (row 6 in last code snippet) will always have contain data (Xb,Xc,Xd in example file).

    Run Loop, Repeat to last row: If current cell range ("B"Row:"D"row) has no content, then copy contents of row-1 (the above row) and paste into current range ("B"Row:"D"row). If cell range contains data, do nothing. Loop to next row.

    Per attached file: code will identify that row 6 is populated, do nothing, and move to row 7. Row 7 being empty, will have row 6 copy/pasted into row 7. Row 8 being empty will have row 7 copy/pasted into row 8, etc., until row 10 where the code will again, do nothing. Row 11 being empty,will have row 10 copy/pasted into row 11, etc.

    My original code accomplished only one column: (Col B)

    I tried to add Col B:D by rewriting the following:

    This gives me a type mismatch error. I wanted to understand why & to clean up code.

    Because you can't compare an array to a single value:
