Ive got a table and i want excel to automatically go through all the table untill it finds a blank cell and then add an x to the empty cell. Is there a formula that can do this or a macro?

Here's some shorter code (no loop required) :-

Dim cell As Range
Set cell = [A1:J10].Find("", After:=[J10], SearchOrder:=xlByColumns)
cell.Value = "X"

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"

Or just in one line of code :-

[A1:J10].Find("", After:=[J10], SearchOrder:=xlByColumns).Value = "X"
