Automation to last row in previous column

[tchung5]

Excel and coding newbie here.

Trying to record an automation to auto fill column F, until the last row in column E e.g., select F2 formula and double click on the little green square. Column F is not always 20 long, it depends on last row in column E. Sometimes more, sometime less. Below is part of the code from the Excel Code Editor window. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

// Set range F2 on selectedSheet
selectedSheet.getRange("F2").setFormulaLocal("=TEXT(E2,\"mm/dd/yyyy\")");
// Auto fill range
selectedSheet.getRange("F2").autoFill("F2:F20", ExcelScript.AutoFillType.fillDefault);

Hi tchung5,

Welcome to MrExcel!!

Assuming selectedSheet = ActiveSheet try this:

Dim lngLastRow As Long

    With ActiveSheet
        lngLastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row
        lngLastRow = IIf(lngLastRow < 2, 2, lngLastRow) 'If the last row in Col. E is less than two, set the 'lngLastRow' variable to 2 or else leave it as is
        .Range("F2:F" & lngLastRow).Formula = "=TEXT($E$2,""mm-dd-yyyy"")"
    End With

I also don't know what "getRange" is? A custom function perhaps?

Regards,

Robert

Is this in VBA, Office Script, Java, Google Scripts or some other language?
I am suspecting Office Script but seeking clarification
