    How to select the first blank cell after filtering?

    Hi all

    Still a novice in VBA so I could with a hand. I do a report where I currently filter Column B by blanks then add a vlookup connecting to another file to 'fill-in' the missing cells. How can I automate this in VBA?

    Do I

    1. Add the filter, like below, and enter some sort of code under 'Range("B1") that would make it go to the first blank cell in column b and from there I can use the autofill selection.
    My attempt (I thought maybe offset could work with a filter but obviously not.....)

    2. Approach it from some kind of Loop angle. If so, how would I do this? Is there something I can do that would make it start at B2, check if it's blank, enter a formula if so,pass if contains data, continue until the data ends in column a for that day (which shows the job numbers for the day)

    Any help would be great. Cheers

    Hi Jimmy,

    You need to select first blank cell after the filtered data ?
    Or,
    you need to select the first blank cell with-in the filtered data. If Yes, then how you are filtering that it shows any blank there, I would like to see that. Thanks.

    Hi Dili

    I think I am barking up the wrong tree with the filter idea...
    I've attached an example spreadsheet with what I'd like to do in VBA, is this possible with some kind of loop? Do it in column b until column a is empty?

    Yes that's right, the data for the lookup is on another sheet. If you have a solution we call this "MySheet" and I'll amend the address later in the code?
