Looking for code help to loop through A1:A10, and if A is Not Empty, the value of A will be moved over 1 column, to B.
Existing Data In B cannot be disturbed. The Data in Column A is being generated by a Formula.

I have the following code for the 1st 3 cells, but just don't have the knowledge to create a loop for the whole range of cells (Which will ultimately be AE8:AE157 values moved to AF8:AF157, respectively).
Been searching for hours with no luck. Thanks for any help.
VBA Code:
Private Sub DataTransfer()

If Not IsEmpty(Range("a1").Value) Then
Range("B1").Value = Range("A1").Value
Range("A1").Clear
End If

If Not IsEmpty(Range("a2").Value) Then
Range("B2").Value = Range("A2").Value
Range("A2").Clear
End If

If Not IsEmpty(Range("a3").Value) Then
Range("B3").Value = Range("A3").Value
Range("A3").Clear
End If

End Sub

The values copied across are formatted as text.

Insert one more line.
Code:
            With c
                .NumberFormat = "@"
                .HorizontalAlignment = xlRight    '<---- Insert this line
                .Value = Format(c.Offset(, -1).Value, "d-mmm")
                .Offset(, -1).ClearContents
            End With
Can the values copied across be formatted as date?
The B Column cells are originally formatted as that style of date

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
Comment (put an apostrophe in front) or delete first two lines.
Code:
            With c
'                .NumberFormat = "@"    '<----Comment or remove
'                .HorizontalAlignment = xlRight    '<----Comment or remove
                .Value = Format(c.Offset(, -1).Value, "d-mmm")
                .Offset(, -1).ClearContents
            End With

Thanks for all the help. Code now works exactly how I wanted.
Tomorrow I'll have to dissect your code to understand what it is actually doing, and maybe learn something, lol
Thanks again!

Thanks for the update and good luck.
The code is pretty simple (otherwise I would not have been able to put it together!!!), so you should have no problem figuring it out.
