I 'm trying to find the first blank cell in a non-contiguous range (see code below). When all five cells are blank, "C4" is assigned to variable x. "C2" is the expected and correct value. Any idea why that's happening? No doubt I'm doing something wrong.

Code:
Set x = Worksheets("load_report").Range("C2,C4,C6,C8,C10").Find(what:="", lookat:=xlWhole)

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).

I think it is because the Find function starts looking after the first cell in the range (when a starting cell is not specified), not at that cell. Try changing your code line to this and see if it works better for you...

Set x = Worksheets("load_report").Range("C2,C4,C6,C8,C10").Find(What:="", After:=Range("C10"), LookAt:=xlWhole)
