Hi,

I have a column of data values separated by rows with blanks. How can I return value of the most recent non-blank value in a column row using VBA for use in a VBA sub?

Thanks,

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Hi, artz,

I'm new here, hope this can help:

Code:
Option Explicit


Sub SkipBlank()


Dim to_use As String
Dim cell, data, target As Range


Set target = Range("a1", "a10")
Set data = Range("b1")


For Each cell In target


    If cell.Value <> "" Then
        to_use = cell.Value
        data.Value = to_use
        Set data = data.Offset(1, 0)
    End If
    
    
Next


End Sub

With what you said, this macro do exactly what you want.

:)

Hi EuEdu,

Thanks for your prompt reply. So, I am starting with the following VBA code:
Code:
Sub Compare()
Dim i As Long
For i = 2 To 302
    If Range("B" & i).Value >= Range("F" & i).Value Then
         Range("O" & i) = Range("F" & i).Value
    End If
Next
End Sub

This does not work because the value in column B does not reflect the previous and latest value in column F. Do you see a way to combine your code with my code to accomplish what I was asking for?

Any help is appreciated. :-)
