Looping through Data

[jwburritt]

Hi: I have data in col A and B. I'd like to build a macro that, if it finds the term "trigger" in col A, it copies the data in col B to col C (all in the same row). But, if it doesn't find the term "trigger" in col A, it copies the prior successful data to col C. Here's what I have so far ...

Sub Data_Copy()

    
    Dim i As Long
    Dim myValue As String
    Dim LastRow As Long
    Dim StartRow As Long
    
    StartRow = 1
    LastRow = Range("A" & StartRow).End(xlDown).Row
    
    For i = StartRow To LastRow
        myValue = Range("A" & i).Value
        If myValue = "Trigger" Then
            Range("C" & i).Value = Range("B" & i).Value
            Else: Range("C" & i).Value = myValue
        End If
    Next i
    


End Sub

Col A	Col B	Col C
Trigger	Blue	Blue
Not Trigger	Yellow	Blue
Not Trigger	Red	Blue
Trigger	Green	Green

Thank you!

How about

Sub jwburritt()
   Dim Cl As Range
   With Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      .Replace "Trigger", "=xxxTrigger", xlWhole, , False, , False, False
      For Each cl In .SpecialCells(xlFormulas, xlErrors)
         cl.Offset(, 2).Value = cl.Offset(, 1).Value
      Next cl
      .Offset(, 2).SpecialCells(xlBlanks).FormulaR1C1 = "=r[-1]c"
      .Offset(, 2).Value = .Offset(, 2).Value
      .Replace "=xxxTrigger", "Trigger", xlWhole, , False, , False, False
   End With
End Sub

Thanks. Works great!

Here is another way to consider (better late than never)...

Sub Data_Copy()
  Dim i As Long
  For i = 1 To Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    If LCase(Cells(i, "A").Value) = "trigger" Then
      Cells(i, "C").Value = Cells(i, "B").Value
    Else
      Cells(i, "C").Value = Cells(i - 1, "C").Value
    End If
  Next
End Sub

Note: This code assume cell A1 will always contain the word "Trigger"

Works great. Just had to move the data down so the first column begins at A2 and the counter begins at 2. Otherwise this line

Cells(i, "C").Value = Cells(i - 1, "C").Value

would throw a 1004 error.

Thanks again!
