i need to find out how to finish this code. but im having trouble with just 2 parts of it. the Do until Statement, and the function to Fill a cell with the color red.

Code:
x = 4

Do until (end of sheet)
      If Cells(x, 1) = "" Than
      Cells(x, 1) (fill in box red)
x = x + 9
Loop

any help would be greatly appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
If you just want it to down to the last row with data, try:
Code:
    Dim x As Long
    Dim myLastRow As Long
    
'   Find last row of column A
    myLastRow = Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Row

    x = 4

    Do Until x > myLastRow
        If Cells(x, 1) = "" Then Cells(x, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
        x = x + 9
    Loop
If you want to do all rows, then change myLastRow to 65536 (no formula).

Hello Lynxador,
Along with jm14's, example, here are a couple more that work too.
Code:
Dim x As Long, LstRw As Long
x = 4
LstRw = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
While x < LstRw
  If Cells(x, 1) = "" Then Cells(x, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 3 '(fill in box red)
  x = x + 9
Wend

And . . .
Code:
Dim x As Long, LstRw As Long
LstRw = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For x = 4 To LstRw Step 9
  If Cells(x, 1) = "" Then Cells(x, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 3 '(fill in box red)
Next x

And lastly, if these cells are the only blank cells in column A (used range) then you can
do it without looping at all.
Code:
Dim LstRw As Long
LstRw = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Range(Cells(4, 1), Cells(LstRw, 1)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
