    Question Adding tick column next to active cells

    I've managed to automate 90% of what I do to format a spreadsheet using Record Macro, except for adding a ✓ symbol next to a column of data.

    When I record what I do, Excel doesn't notice I'm auto-filling down to the right of the last active cell. The macro only records autofilling the tick symbol starting from a specific start cell, down to an specific end cell. (ie. "H2:H230")

    Example:

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Is there a way to tell Excel to autofill the ticks all the way down to the end of the data, until the data stops (wherever that may be)?

    ie.

    Word
    Word
    ...etc

    You can fill the cells without using autofill.

    Ah. My bad.

    It worked precisely as requested, but I'm afraid I asked for it to do the wrong thing.

    Your script put ticks next to all cells in column G until the end of all data. However, there were blanks that I didn't want ticks next to:

    Is it possible for the ticks to only appear when there is data to the left?

    If not, I absolutely won't complain. I can always do some extra clicks and remove them, which is still lightning faster than what I used to do!
