I have a column E that has data in certain cells. The cells that are blank have a formula which looks like this: =IF(ISNA(MATCH(A3,C:C,0)),"",A3). In some cases the answer to the formula leaves a cell blank and in some cases there is a vlaue which is perfectly fine. Is there a VBA script that can be generated where by when ever the value in a cell is blank in column E that it takes action to the cell to the left in Column D. In horrible syntax, I would like a routine to check every cell in column E so that for every blank or null value encountered in Column E it does this action to the cell directly to the left of the blank.
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove

Like I said my VBa syntax is horrible! Thanks!!!
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Try this:
(on a copy please)
Code:
Sub PushDownD()
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row 'last row in column E
For r = 1 To lr
    If Cells(r, "E") = "" Then
        Cells(r, "D").Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    End If
Next r
End Sub
