Hi Everyone, been posting today a few things... have a few different ways now that I want to do this.. but I think if I can find a way to do this... it will help me out a lot...
Below is my formula. What I need help with is if someone can tell me how I can change it if possible that is... so that if I click on the button... and the first cell as you can see below (A24) is the first cell that asks you to fill out... now if that cell already has an item in there... I would like the formula to know that it has a value, and that it should jump onto the next box to fill...
Hope you know what I mean?

I would really love help on this. Thanks

How about
Code: 
Sub Button174_Click()

   Dim Reply As String
   Dim NxtRw As Long
   
   NxtRw = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Row
   If NxtRw < 24 Then NxtRw = 24
   Do
      Reply = InputBox(Prompt:="SCAN OR ENTER SKU", _
         title:="SKU", Default:="")
      If Not Reply = vbNullString Then
         Range("A" & NxtRw).Value = Reply
   
         Reply = InputBox(Prompt:="QUANTITY", _
            title:="QTY", Default:="")
         If Not Reply = vbNullString Then
            Range("H" & NxtRw).Value = Reply
         End If
      End If
      If MsgBox("SCAN THE NEXT ITEM?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Exit Sub
   Loop
End Sub

This is much easier to maintain.

Code: 
Sub Button174_Click()
    Dim strReply As String
    Dim rngMyRange As Range
    Dim rngMycell As Range
    
    
    With ActiveSheet
         Set rngMyRange = Union(.Range("A24:A53"), .Range("H24:H53"))
    
         For Each rngMycell In rngMyRange
    
             If rngMycell.Value = "" Then
               strReply = InputBox(Prompt:="SCAN OR ENTER SKU", _
               Title:="SKU", Default:="")
               If strReply <> vbNullString Then rngMycell.Value = strReply
            End If
         Next rngMycell

         If MsgBox("SCAN THE NEXT ITEM?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Exit Sub

    End With
End Sub

see if that works

Two good approaches here for you.

One using the range option combined with

"For each... next" logic

One using "Do....loop" logic.

@Richard U
Your code doesn't give an escape option, until it has looped through all the cells.
The OP has 2 input boxes, rather than just 1.
Also your code will loop through col A then Col H, which means that the user will have to enter all the SKUs & than enter the Qty

Hi! Thank you so much! This is great... there's only 1 problem... it goes to a221 That's because I have cells a24-a53 that are open... everything above that and below that until a220 has info in it... is there a way it can just stick into that range only? or should I move everything below a53 to AA or something. Thanks so much though, this is awesome! @Fluff

fixed it, thanks. Also, does yours have a provision for skipping cells already filled out?

Code: 
Sub Button174_Click()
    Dim strReply As String
    Dim rngMyRange As Range
    Dim rngMycell As Range
    
    
    With ActiveSheet
    Set rngMyRange = .Range("A24:A53")
    
    For Each rngMycell In rngMyRange
    
        If rngMycell.Value = "" Then
            strReply = InputBox(Prompt:="SCAN OR ENTER SKU", _
            Title:="SKU", Default:="")
            If strReply <> vbNullString Then rngMycell.Value = strReply
        End If
        
        If rngMycell.Value = "" Then
            strReply = InputBox(Prompt:="SCAN OR ENTER SKU", _
            Title:="SKU", Default:="")
            If strReply <> vbNullString Then rngMycell.Value = strReply
        End If
        
        If MsgBox("SCAN THE NEXT ITEM?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Exit Sub
        
    Next rngMycell
    
    End With
End Sub
