Hello,

I have a small code that's going into an endless loop... help to resolve will be highly appreciated .. screen shot of excel attached.

VBA Code:
Sub Fill_Xirr()

ActiveSheet.Range("IrrTab_Beg").Offset(1, 1).Select

Do While Not IsEmpty(ActiveCell) _
    Or Selection.Value <> Range("myTicker").Value
        Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop

F = Range("YrsInvested").Value
Selection.Offset(0, F).Value = Range("X_IRR").Value

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
Change Or to And.

Your logic is wrong. Your loop will continue any time either of these conditions is True
VBA Code:
Not IsEmpty(ActiveCell) Or Selection.Value <> Range("myTicker").Value
But one of these is guaranteed to be True for every cell. So it just keeps going.
