Hi,

I have a data set similar to below

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[TD]C[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]12[/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]13[/TD]
[TD]y[/TD]
[TD]y[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I am trying to find a code that allows me to selecting the next empty column. This can't use the Range("C12") as every week data gets updated and a new column will be filled with data.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks
Naomie
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
You could try:

Code:
lr = Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

then use the variable like this:

Code:
Set rng = Range("C" & lr)

as an example.

That finds the next empty 'ROW'
We want the next empty 'Column'

Try

lc = Cells(12, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column + 1

Then you can use it like
Cells(12,lc)
