I need the system to look for the first #1 and whereever the value of #1 is to Put a V on the same Row but in Column A.... for #2 for it to put a D on the same Row as the first #2 on the list but in column A...and so forth...

    Hi,

    It's not clear to me whether the data you show is just in two columns or whether some, like V 1 6,541.65 is three columns. i.e.
    V 1 6,541.65
    or
    V 16,541.65

    Could you upload your workbook so that we can see the actual layout.

    Re: Find 1st unique Value on Column and Insert certain Word on cell on left Column

    Colomn A is where I need the values to be added after the macro finds the first line item in Column B... the thing is the number of line items (1's) will vary daily as will the number of #2,#3 etc... so i need to find a way to tell excel that no matter where it falls, for it to find the first #2 in column B and put a "D" on the Column A next to it. In column B, the #1 might vary between 1 thru 400 or so a day .... thanks


    Column A Column B
    V 1
    1
    1
    1
    1
    D 2
    2
    2
    DDO 3
    3
    3
    Etc 4
    4

    Hi,

    Would you upload your workbook with a selection of sample rows and manually add the results that you expect to see when the operation has been completed. I'm finding it difficult to visualise

    Please upload the workbook as requested.

    Show a before and after situation and if it's not blindingly obvious how you have arrived at your results some explanatory notes as well.

    Please don't upload pictures. None of us are inclined to recreate your data when you have a workbook available - see guidelines in the Rules area of this forum.
