Hi,

I have a code that would already select the first D or N depending on what shift it is at work.
I would like a code that can then find the last cell value that matches the activecell value in column B but searches from the activecell downwards.

Example:
D
N
D
N - This is the activecell
N
N
N - I would like a code that would select this row in column B instead.
D
N
D

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Dan

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Why select that cell? There is a cell further down which contains N.

Hi,
I need it to be that cell because it is on the same shift as the first D or N of that block of D's or N's.

The last N of my example would be the following night shift.

End Sub
