Automated Percentile VBA Code

[gabe]

So basically I have a column of numbers. I need to calculate the 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles automatically. There is one blank row between the bottom of the column and my 25th percentile calculation. The VBA code below would work if the column was a fixed number of rows but there could be anywhere from 10-100+ rows. Does anyone know how to change the code so that it will find the first blank row and the last blank row and include all the data in between within the percentile calc. I know this should be easy for someone with experience modifying and creating code but I haven't been able to work through this on my own. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Thank You, Gabe

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=PERCENTILE(R[-11]C:R[-5]C,0.9)"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
End Sub

Make the starting row absolute, eg:

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=PERCENTILE(R1C:R[-2]C,0.25)"

That helped but it didn't quite do what I was looking for. Below is the updated code that I just created. What I need to do is find the first and last blank row in my column and include all the data in between. What this code does is pull all the data above my starting row.

Sub Percentile2()
'
' Percentile Macro
' Percentile Calc
'
'
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=PERCENTILE(R1C:R[-2]C,0.25)"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=PERCENTILE(R1C:R[-3]C,0.5)"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=PERCENTILE(R1C:R[-4]C,0.75)"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=PERCENTILE(R1C:R[-5]C,0.9)"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
End Sub

Try:

Sub Percentile2()
' Percentile Macro
' Percentile Calc
    Dim FirstRow As Long
    With ActiveCell
        FirstRow = .Offset(-2).End(xlUp).Row
            .FormulaR1C1 = "=PERCENTILE(R" & FirstRow & "C:R[-2]C,0.25)"
            .Offset(1, 0).FormulaR1C1 = "=PERCENTILE(R" & FirstRow & "C:R[-3]C,0.5)"
            .Offset(2, 0).FormulaR1C1 = "=PERCENTILE(R" & FirstRow & "C:R[-4]C,0.75)"
            .Offset(3, 0).FormulaR1C1 = "=PERCENTILE(R" & FirstRow & "C:R[-5]C,0.9)"
    End With
End Sub

That does exactly what I needed. Thanks so much!!
