Hi i was wondering if its possible turn this equation into an array or some kind of simpler form.

t = Time()

If [F92,E93] = "" Then
[F92,E93] = Str(t)
ElseIf [F93] = "" Then
[G92,F93] = Str(t)
ElseIf [G93] = "" Then
[H92,G93] = Str(t)
ElseIf [H93] = "" Then
[I92,H93] = Str(t)
ElseIf [I93] = "" Then
[J92,I93] = Str(t)
ElseIf [J93] = "" Then
[J93] = Str(t)
 

Excel Facts

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest

if [E93] = "" then

You can use the Cells property in a loop like this:

Code:
For c = 5 to 10
    With Cells(93, c)
        If .Value = "" Then .Value = Str(t)
        Exit For
    End With
Next c

That fills the first blank cell and stops.
