I need to update the values in column A based on the value in column B.
Here is the code:

If Range("A2").Value = "refrin" Then
Range("B2").Value = "RefrinDHP"

Else

End If
If Range("A3").Value = "refrin" Then
Range("B3").Value = "RefrinDHP"
etc......

I need to continue it until the end of the column.
Do I need to use a loop? Can you help please?
 

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Try:

Code:
Sub Test()
    Dim LastRow As Long
    Dim i As Long
    LastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    For i = 2 To LastRow
        If Range("A" & i).Value = "refrin" Then
            Range("B" & i).Value = "RefrinDHP"
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

Thank you. Please could you help if a cell appears blank but has space in it, for example i am entering this in B4, =IF(LEN(A4)>2,"Cell has value","")

Please start your own thread rather than hijacking one that seems to be unrelated.

Sorry sir, i did not mean to hijack. i though i would able to explain it better in this way, since the code works as expected based on this original thread, and it worked fine as i my case when i replaced the keyword 'refrin' to "", and just then i realised there should be some way to check if the cell is really blank, as sometimes there is space and we are not knowing... Thank you.

What if instead of plain text "RefrinDHP" (Range("B" & i).Value = "RefrinDHP") I wanted to input a formula referencing another column, ex. =workday("b" & i, "c" & i)?


If range("b" & i).value = "refrin" then
range("a" & i).value = formulaR1C1 = "
workday("b" & i, "c" & i)"

I was using the example already given, but my situation is obviously different. I do realize that I used the text field in the workday formula, it should've referenced another date or number field.
Basically I need a cell updated (workday formula) if it meets a certain value (text, "refrin" or in my case "Calendar") from a picklist field of another cell along the same row. Example below.


abcd
1=workday(b1,c1)12/31/143Calendar
2=workday(b2,c3)12/31/154Fiscal
3=workday(b3,c3)12/31/16-5Calendar

<tbody>
</tbody>

The code would be something like this:
I believe FormulaR1C1 has to be a child to a range, but not sure on the syntax for it. Cells a1, a2, a3, etc. would be updated with the workday formula if d1, d2, d3, etc. = "Calendar"

Sub Test() Dim LastRow As Long Dim i As Long LastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row For i = 2 To LastRow If Range("d" & i).Value = "Calendar" Then Range("a" & i).Value = Range("a" & i).FormulaR1C1 "= WORKDAY(RC[Range("b" & i],RC[Range("c" & i)])" End If Next iEnd Sub

That would be:

Code:
Sub Test()
    Dim LastRow As Long
    Dim i As Long
    LastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    For i = 2 To LastRow
        If Range("d" & i).Value = "Calendar" Then
            Range("a" & i).FormulaR1C1 = "= WORKDAY(RC2,RC3)"
        End If
    Next i
End Sub
