Set a value for every cell in a range

[kwagner1]

Greetings,

i'm looking for a way to set a columns value to "US". I only want to populate the records that are on my worksheet. So, if i get a file that has 1000 rows on it, then populate every row with the "US" value in the Location column. If tomorrows file has 500 rows in it, then only the 500 rows will be populated with "US", etc... so Lastrow type of logic is needed. The column is always blank - so i am looking for my macro to update it (along with many other updates my macro is currently doing) thanks!

here is my code:

Sub TranslateLocation()
' populate LOCATION column with "US"
Cells.Find(What:="Location", After:=Range("A1"), LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Select ' probably dont want to select entire column???

' NEED CORRECT CODE HERE...
Set myrange = Range(ActiveCell, Range("A65536").End(xlUp))
For Each Cell In myrange
Cell.Value = "US"
Next

End Sub

kwagner1,

The last row find and fill I use heaps is:

LR = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count 'finds the last row used or
LR = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row 'finds the last row in column A or
LR = Cells(Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Row 'finds the last row in column C etc

then

Range("A2:A" & LR).Value = "US" 'Fill "US" to last row

thanks - that will work (kind of)... how do i return the COL letter when I find "Location". The column "BV" below will be dynamic based on the column i find "Location" in (BV today, tomorrow "Location" maybe in COl AA - so it needs to be dynamic)

Sub TranslateLocation()
' Routine to populate LOCATION column with "US"

' FIND THE COL THAT HAS "LOCATION" IN IT
Cells.Find(What:="Location", After:=Range("A1"), LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate

LR = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count 'finds the last row used or
Range("BV2:BV" & LR).Value = "US" 'Fill "US" to last row

End Sub

figured it out (with your help!) thanks!

Sub TranslateLocation()
' populate LOCATION column with "US"

Cells.Find(What:="Location", After:=Range("A1"), LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate

MyColumnNum = ActiveCell.Column ' returns column number - 74 = BV, etc...
LR = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count 'finds the last row used or
Range(Cells(2, MyColumnNum), Cells(LR, MyColumnNum)).Value = "US"
