    Formula to move data to Left when LEFT cell is blank?

    I have four cells that I use to track items. Sometimes all cells are used and sometimes only a few. I would like help in how I can automate a move in data in a cell that is RIGHT of an empty cell move to the LEFT. (i.e.) I fill cells C5, D5, E5, & F5. I then delete the data in cell D5 and want to have the data in E5 move to D5, and F5 move to E5....leaving F5 empty for the new data. kind-of like right justify. Thank you.

    I don't think you can do this with a Formula, you'll be needing VBA.

    Something like;

    Put that in the Worksheet code - It'll check columns C through G for changes, if it finds a blank cell it'll move all the values to the right along to the left.

    Post back if you need more help
