Hello can someone help me with vba code, let's say I have a sheet with 2 columns. If 1st cell in column A is blank, i want to automatically copy 1st cell in column B and paste it in 1st cell in column A, etc, BUT if cells in column A is NOT blank, i want to keep column A with the current data. DO I even need vba code to do this?
ANY and all help is GREATLY appreciated. tHANKYOU

Here's a non-VBA way:
1) Highlight Column A
2) Select all blank cells (Ctrl-G should get you to the "Go To" box, then click "Special", click "Blanks", and "Okay")
3) All blank cells should be highlighted
4) Type "=" and then arrow to the right of the blank box (so if the first blank box was A1, you would now have "=B1") (don't click with the mouse anywhere otherwise all the blanks will be unselected)
5) Press Ctrl + Enter
6) If done correctly, it'll fill all blank cells with the contents of the adjacent cell in column BI'm sure someone has a better way, but I have found this useful many times. Hope this works for you.

Code
Sub With_Loop() Dim c As Range, lr As Long lr = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("A:A")) = lr Then MsgBox "No empty cells in column A!": Exit Sub For Each c In Range("A2:A" & lr).SpecialCells(4) c.Value = c.Offset(, 1).Value Next c End Sub
Following leaves a formula in the previous empty cells. -
Hello thanks for the help, sorry but what does this line mean "Following leaves a formula in the previous empty cells." ?

If you look at the cells that were empty before you ran the code, you'll see that there is a formula in it.
All the code does is put a formula in the empty cell. -
