I have this huge block of code, where The date is being found based on userform input, then the empty cell is being found in the same row to add values to it and soem 2 more values to column C and B on the same row.
When i run this and lets say input 22.02.2023 as date to be found I get something like this which is great:

but then I run the loop again with different date, and accordingly to what I want - if the employee value and Jobtype value is already there, just update the row with new hours
but for some reason i get the new row with Me.employee.value, Me.JobType.value and Me.HoursCount.value in this example it would be" Janusz", "SK," and "1", but the rest of the values from Jobtype2, jobtype3 and so on are being updated in the same row as I wanted.

Can you help em spot the issue? Here's the code:
VBA Code: 
'find date'
Sheets(sheetName).Activate
FindDate = CDate(Me.DateRange.Value)
Set dRng = Range("D7:J7,D67:J67,D127:J127,D187:J187,D247:J247,D307:J307,D367:J367,D427:J427,D487:J487,D547:J547,D607:J607")
Dim emptyCellFound As Boolean 'variable to track if an empty cell has been found
emptyCellFound = False

For Each emptyCell In dRng
    If emptyCell.Value2 = CLng(FindDate) Then
        Dim colNum As Integer
        colNum = emptyCell.Column 'get the column number where the date was found
        For b = emptyCell.Row + 1 To emptyCell.Row + 32 'start the loop from the next row of the found date cell
            If Cells(b, colNum).Value = "" Then 'check if the cell is empty in the same column where the date was found
                Set emptyCell = Cells(b, colNum)
                ' Add jobtype and hours

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Sort by date Sort by votes
All the code makes sense to me, I just dont know why the first jobtype and hourscount is duplicated If have the if statement to prevent it .

It seems a big project, with userform, and many sheets.
How we can test, without a sample file.
Could you share file via gg drive, or dropbox... do not forget to delete sensitive data

At the moemnt big would be a little understatement what started as a simple few macros to speed things up evolved over the year, now it's 10mb in size with tousands of macros, but the issue is it interacts with ondedrive google drive and webbrowser, so it's hard to share with people withotu them having issues runnign it with all the dependecies I have. Also the entire thing is mostly written in Polish. If you can run it you would still need a lot of guidance to navigate it. If you have the patience i'm down.

Alright i see the issue but I dont know how to actually fix it. When I run the loop once all the data is addded to the **** normaly, btu when i run ti again the code runs this first:
VBA Code: 
                If Cells(emptyCell.Row, "B").Value = Me.employee.Value And Cells(emptyCell.Row, "C").Value = Me.JobType.Value Then
                emptyCell.Value = Me.HoursCount.Value
And then instead of moving on to the loop for jobtype2 and hourscount2, It runs the loop again btu this time goes for:
VBA Code: 
Else
                emptyCell.Value = Me.HoursCount6.Value
                Cells(emptyCell.Row, "C").Value = Me.JobType6.Value
                Cells(emptyCell.Row, "B").Value = Me.employee.Value
                emptyCellFound = True 'set the flag to indicate that an empty cell has been found
                Exit For
                End If
so it executes both parts of the loop resaulting in duplicated row of values in this loop.I have to be missign so small bit.

Changed this:
VBA Code: 
 If Cells(emptyCell.Row, "B").Value = Me.employee.Value And Cells(emptyCell.Row, "C").Value = Me.JobType.Value Then
                emptyCell.Value = Me.HoursCount.Value
                Else
                emptyCell.Value = Me.HoursCount.Value
                Cells(emptyCell.Row, "C").Value = Me.JobType.Value
                Cells(emptyCell.Row, "B").Value = Me.employee.Value
                emptyCellFound = True 'set the flag to indicate that an empty cell has been found
                Exit For
                End If
to this:

VBA Code: 
 If Cells(emptyCell.Row, "B").Value = Me.employee.Value And Cells(emptyCell.Row, "C").Value = Me.JobType.Value Then
                emptyCell.Value = Me.HoursCount.Value
                emptyCellFound = True 'set the flag to indicate that an empty cell has been found
                Exit For
                Else
                emptyCell.Value = Me.HoursCount.Value
                Cells(emptyCell.Row, "C").Value = Me.JobType.Value
                Cells(emptyCell.Row, "B").Value = Me.employee.Value
                emptyCellFound = True 'set the flag to indicate that an empty cell has been found
                Exit For
                End If
and it's now fine. Obvious details, but i somehow missed that.
