I have a report that I am working on. In the report one of the columns contains a number and I want to evaluate the last number and if it is not "5", I want to change it to "5".

Some Data:
[TABLE="width: 438"]
<colgroup><col><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]A_Siteid[/TD]
[TD]AB_Contractor Name[/TD]
[TD]AFF_A_PRCN[/TD]
[TD]AFF_B_RESOURCETYPE[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]BAR[/TD]
[TD]FLR ENTERPRISES[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]18891[/TD]
[TD]KLO[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]BAR[/TD]
[TD]FLR ENTERPRISES[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]19874[/TD]
[TD]KLO[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]BAR[/TD]
[TD]FLR ENTERPRISES[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]19871[/TD]
[TD]KLO[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]BAR[/TD]
[TD]FLR ENTERPRISES[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]18895[/TD]
[TD]KLO
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Most of my VBA for this spreadsheet is a loop that looks for values and makes the changes needed. The one to replace the Resource Type works fine, but I can't figure out how o look for the last digit in the PRCN.
Code:
'Change Resource Type to "KLO".
rowa = 3
    Do Until Sheet11.Cells(rowa, 2).Value = Empty
         If Sheet11.Cells(rowa, 4).Value <> "KLO" Then
            Sheet11.Cells(rowa, 4).Value = "KLO"
             End If
rowa = rowa + 1
  Loop

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Do you mean you want to look at each PRCN number and if the last digit in that number is not a 5 you want to change it to 5 leaving the rest of the PRCN intact?

this is assuming your numbers are in column C change the range according to your data

Code:
Sub Five()
Dim r As Range
    For Each r In Range("C1:C10") 'change this to the range of your numbers
        If r.Value > 0 And Not Right(r.Value, 1) = 5 Then
            r.Value = Left(r.Value, Len(r.Value) - 1) & 5
        End If
    Next r
End Sub

Yes. That is what I want to do.
Here's a non-looping solution that assumes your PRCN header is in C1.
Code:
Sub LastPRCN_DigitIs5()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Range("C2:C" & Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row)
    .Value = Evaluate(Replace("If(@="""","""",(Left(@, 4) & ""5"") + 0)", "@", .Address(0, 0)))
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Whoa I had no idea I could use WITH with a RANGE.... that makes tons of loops ive created obsolete .... learn something new everyday ... thank you

This works if I run it by itself with the sheet I want to change opened. I'm trying to incorporate this into the code I already have for the sheet that does multiple other things. I think I can get it pointed to the correct sheet but my Range will not be the same each time I run the report. It could be 45 rows or it could be 200 rows depending on how many submittals I have for the month.

It's a clever way to avoid loops that's traceable to Rick Rothstein (I think).

Im sure you can place t to work on the sheet of your choice, as far as changing row amount... use Joe's answer as his takes the amount of rows being used into account

"This" is ambiguous when you have more than one response. Which of the solutions you received are you referring to?
