Anouther loop question

[Christy]

WOW - those last answers not only worked well but were som mcuh faster that
my code - I LOVE this forum!!!

Below is anouther loop I am using - it works but is slow and inefficient -
any suggestions for improvement would be muxh appreciated. Not sure how to
impliment the 'used range' and 'no selection' tips here.

Sub ProcessCountHistory()
Dim i As Integer

For i = 7 To 7500
Cells(i, 15).Select
If ActiveCell.Value = "" Then
If ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Value = "YES" Then
If ActiveCell.Offset(-2, 0).Value = "YES" Then
If ActiveCell.Offset(-3, 0).Value = "YES" Then
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2).Value = "Count required?"
ActiveCell.Value = "NO"
Else
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2).Value = "Count required?"
ActiveCell.Value = "YES"
End If
Else
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2).Value = "Count required?"
ActiveCell.Value = "YES"
End If
Else
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2).Value = "Count required?"
ActiveCell.Value = "YES"
End If
End If
Next i
Range("a1").Select
End Sub

set rng1 = rng.offset(0,-3).Resize(,3)

Sub ProcessCountHistory()
Dim rng as Range, rng1 as range, cell as Range

set rng = Range(cells(7,15),cells(rows.count,15).End(xlup))

On error Resume Next
set rng1 = rng.specialCells(xlBlanks)
On error goto 0

if rng1 is nothing then exit sub

For each cell in rng1
If Cell.Offset(-1, 0).Value = "YES" Then
If Cell.Offset(-2, 0).Value = "YES" Then
If Cell.Offset(-3, 0).Value = "YES" Then
Cell.Offset(0, -2).Value = "Count required?"
Cell.Value = "NO"
Else
Cell.Offset(0, -2).Value = "Count required?"
Cell.Value = "YES"
End If
Else
Cell.Offset(0, -2).Value = "Count required?"
Cell.Value = "YES"
End If
Else
Cell.Offset(0, -2).Value = "Count required?"
Cell.Value = "YES"

End If
Next cell
Range("a1").Select
End Sub

This assumes that the cells in column O are actually blank

if the cells appear blank because there is a formula like
=if(condition,"",number result)

so all non blank appearing cells are numeric you could change
xlblank to

xlformulas,xltextvalues

Thanks Tom! It works fine but it wouldn't let me use the line above the Sub
ProcessCountHistory() line. I commented thaty out and it seems to work great.
Did I need to put that line above all my subs in the module?

That was just a stray line that got copied by accident.
