    I want to copy a value in "A1" and i would like to paste it in Column "J" but the problem is that there are some values in column 'J' so i want a code that finds the first empty cell in column "J" and paste in there the value from "A1"
    Can someone help me please...

    Re: Find first empty cell and paste a value

    Will a formula do?

    ie. in A1: =LOOKUP(2,1/(J1:J1000<>""),J1:J1000)

    adjust ranges to suit.... can't use J:J in earlier that XL2007
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    So what's looping?

    No need to select.

    If data always in J10 then just use
