VBA to add text next to pasted data then add new text just below that data

[excelnewb22]

Hi all,

I'm looking to find a Macro that will look at a list of data in Column A, and add text from the last used cell in column B down to the same row as the last cell used in column A. Sell below: (Data is cells already used, HERE is where the macro would need to put the information.

Data Data

Maybe

Dim lngLastA As Long, lngLastB As Long

lngLastA = Cells(Rows.count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
lngLastB = Cells(Rows.count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
Range("B" & lngLastB).Copy Range("B" & lngLastB + 1, "B" & lngLastA)

No idea what event you want to use to trigger it so I left that off. You might want to disable other events from firing when the code makes changes.

Hi Micron - Thanks so much for that!

How can I edit the code so that rather than copying text, it's adding it?

Data Data
Data Data

So it would look at column B like above and work out how many cells it needs to fill compared to the remainder of the list in column A?

For example adding the word "text" to where the gaps are in Column B above?

I think I figured it out based on your code and now works a treat:

Sub AddText1()

Dim lngLastA As Long, lngLastB As Long

lngLastA = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
lngLastB = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
Range("B" & lngLastB + 1, "B" & lngLastA) = "Blue"

End Sub

Thank you Micron!

and add text from the last used cell in column B

Don't you have to copy what's in the last used cell in column B in order to paste it anywhere? I see you are inserting the word Blue, not necessarily the text in the last cell. Oh well, glad you figured it out. Maybe you could mark this thread as solved so as to get it off the unsolved list?
Thanks.
