Hello. I have this code that compares two columns between two sheets. It matches the values in column J in “Ships” with column M in “Main”. It copies the value 10 cells to the right from sheet “Ships” and pastes it in the 3rd cell to the right on “Main” sheet. However, I need it to only paste it if the 3rd cell over of column M is empty. I have tried tweaking it with no luck. Any help is appreciated. Here is my code. Thanks!

So I need it to identify if C1.Offset( ,3).Value is empty

VBA Code:
Private Sub GetCompletionPercentage()

Dim Cl As Range

Dim Dic As Object



lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "P").End(xlUp).Row

Set rng = Range("P2:P" & lastRow)



Set Dic = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")

With Sheets("Ships")

For Each Cl In .Range("J2", .Range("J" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))

Dic(Cl.Value) = Cl.Offset(, 10).Value

Next Cl

End With

With Sheets("Main")

For Each Cl In .Range("M2", .Range("M" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))

If Dic.Exists(Cl.Value) Then Cl.Offset(, 3).Value = Dic(Cl.Value)

Next Cl

End With

End Sub

Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
How about replacing:

VBA Code:
If Dic.Exists(Cl.Value) Then Cl.Offset(, 3).Value = Dic(Cl.Value)

with:

VBA Code:
If Dic.Exists(Cl.Value) Then
    If Cl.Offset(, 3).Value = "" Then Cl.Offset(, 3).Value = Dic(Cl.Value)
End If

Works perfectly!!! Thank you so much
