Ive got a table and i want excel to automatically go through all the table untill it finds a blank cell and then add an x to the empty cell. Is there a formula that can do this or a macro?

Here's some shorter code (no loop required) :-

Dim cell As Range
Set cell = [A1:J10].Find("", After:=[J10], SearchOrder:=xlByColumns)
cell.Value = "X"

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.

Or just in one line of code :-

[A1:J10].Find("", After:=[J10], SearchOrder:=xlByColumns).Value = "X"
