Hi all,

I have developed a macro that auto-fills selected cells based on an inputbox. I am in need of assistance to finish it off.

Code:
Sub Initials()
 Dim r As Range
 Dim c As Range
 Dim name As Variant
 Set r = Application.InputBox("Select cell(s)", "Demo", , , , , , 8)
 r.Select
 name = InputBox("Enter workers Initials:")
 For Each c In r.Cells
    r.Cells = name
 Next c
 End Sub

What I need is an update to this code so that if a selected cell is non-blank then it will ignore the cell and move on to the next selected cell. I am not sure how to add this in. Currently the inputbox will over-right any non-blank cells with the entered initials. Can somebody please help me add this code in to this macro?

Thanks team!

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
how's this?
Code:
Sub Initials()
 Dim r As Range
 Dim c As Range
 Dim name As Variant
 Set r = Application.InputBox("Select cell(s)", "Demo", , , , , , 8)
 r.Select
 name = InputBox("Enter workers Initials:")
 For Each c In r.Cells
    If IsEmpty(c) Then
    c = name
    Else
    End If
 Next c
 End Sub

IsEmpty() checks if the cell is empty
also i think the r.Cells = name in your For Each loop changes the value of all the cells in your range to the input initials instead of just the cell the loop is checking for so i changed it to just c = name
