Hi,

I am creating Macro to allocate the work to team members. I have created a VBA however there is some issue with the looping.
In the sheet 'MO.Individual Training Tracker' i have stored all the task types, employee name and there training status. Whenever VBA is allocating the tasks it is starting from the first person resulting more tasks are assigning to one person.
What i am expecting is VBA should consider last assigned person and start looping from the next employee.
Please help me on this. your time efforts will be greatly appreciated

Below is the code i am currently using

VBA Code:
Public Sub AllocateWork()
       Dim TargetWb, SourceWb As Worksheet
       Dim Array_of_Ranges(), ToBeAssignedRange, cel, firstcel, nextcel, PlanRng As Range
       Dim Match1, Match2, lcopylastrow, StepCol As Long
       Dim MIPlan, Assign, Number_of_cells, assignment, PlanId As String
       Dim ChkFile, FilePath As String
       Dim temprng As Range
       
       FilePath = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Path").Range("B1").Value
       ' FilePath = "C:\BackUp\DBAckup\INNOVATION\realtime_sla_role.xls.xlsx"
       
       If FilePath = "" Then
           MsgBox "Report file path missing in 'Path' sheet's B2 cell: Enter valid path of report"
           Exit Sub
       End If
      
       ChkFile = ""
      
       On Error Resume Next
       ChkFile = Dir(FilePath)
       
       On Error GoTo 0
        If ChkFile = "" Then
            MsgBox "Enter Valid path or file name in the 'Path' sheet B2 cell"
            Exit Sub
