Hello All,

I have a column with values 1, A, C, E or F. (Column E)

I wish to find each 1 and replace it with the value from the cell above or below(I can sort to work with either criteria).

There are about 2-3000 rows in this dataset.

Any suggestions? I have tried a couple of different looping approaches unsuccessfully.

A B C D E F

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
Perhaps

Code:
Sub Replace1()
Dim LR As Long, i As Long
LR = Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To LR
    With Range("E" & i)
        If .Value = 1 Then .Value = .Offset(-1).Value
    End With
Next i
End Sub

VoG,
That was exactly what I was looking for, though I do not have the tools in my box yet to write it.

Many thanks!
