Hello

I have the code:

Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("C2:C159800")
Range("C2:C159800").Select

But I want it to fill the column dynamically, corresponding to the next column's rows.
E.g., if the file has 100 rows, it should autofill up to 100, etc.

How can I do that?

Also, do I need the line Range("C2:C159800").Select at the end or the macro recorder produced it?

Thanks

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
You can find the last row in another dynamically, like this (assuming column B is the column you are looking at):
Code:
Dim lr as Long
lr = Cells(Rows.Count,"B").End(xlUp).Row
Then you can reference the range like:
Code:
Range("C2:C" & lr)

You seldom need to actually select ranges to work with them. That is just a product of the Macro Recorder recording all literal actions (like the selection of ranges).
Your code actually will go faster without selecting them.
