[mso] Re: Excel Code

Hi Hutch,

Many thanks, the code works, but also kicks up an error dialog box which
says "Run-time error '1004':

That command cannot be used on multiple selections". When I hit debug,
it highlights in yellow the last two lines of the code starting with
Selection.PasteSpecial

Is there a way of getting rid of this error message since the code
actually works?

Many thanks

Herbert

Try the following macro. Before running it, select the entire range to
be processed (from the first cell with data to the ending row).
 =20
Public Sub FillBlanks()
'If only one cell is selected, stop.
If Selection.Count =3D 1 Then Exit Sub
'Select only the blank cells within the selected range.
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Select
'Enter a formula to pull the value from the cell above.
Selection.FormulaR1C1 =3D "=3DR[-1]C"
'Copy & paste in place as values.
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=3DxlPasteValues, Operation:=3DxlNone, _
    SkipBlanks:=3DFalse, Transpose:=3DFalse
End Sub
Paste the code in a VBA module in your workbook. If you are new to
macros, this link to Jon Peltier's site may be helpful:

  Hi All,

Can someone help me with a code which does the following:

1) Looks at a cell and if it has something in it, it ignores it, and
goes to the next one down.
2) If the cell is empty, it copies the contents of the cell above it,
and continues to a certain line that I can specify.

Many thanks

Herbert
