Some nice person out there gave me the code " If c.Address = "R65535C47" Then
Exit For End If"
to end my macro but I just can't seem to get it to work. When I test the
macro everything runs fine, the highlight ends up at location R65535C47.
[This cell has a 1 in it] But it doesn't recognize the cell reference and
skips to the End IF. I have tried several different approaches but nothing
seems to work......Any Ideas?

(The macro is for class dates, it designates 1's for start dates and 2's for
end class dates then loops through an entire worksheet finds 1's and 2's and
fills in the cells inbetween with 1's)

C.address is in A1 reference style.

You could check
if c.address = "$AU$65535"

If you want c to reach AU65535 then you will have to change the range for r.
See above. You can either change that range to E3:AU65535 or change the If
statement to: If c.Address = "AU65534" Then

Wow - Thank you - This is a lot to review and I am always excited to read and
interpret new ways to look at code as I am obviously not an expert in this
area.

To answer your question I never could get the macro stay within the range so
its and old line that can be deleted. Also I chose to use the Find to look at
every cell because it was the only way I could figure out how to datafill the
cells inbetween the 1's and 2's. After it is a converted into a string of 1's
it is indexed into another worsheet that calendars the time. Long story...it
works into several other worksheets and code so I don't really have a choice.

But I still do not understand why the "If c.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1) =
"R65534C47" Then
Exit For
End If"
statement doesn't work. It does not recognize the cell address and this is
driving me crazy. Can you explain this?
Does this help? Maybe if not directly, you can get some ideas.

Thanks and you are right I forgot to change the range back to AU65535.
However it still did not solve my problem. The statement does not recognize
that it is on that address and I just don't get it.

As well as:
It seems to be the "Find" portion that will not stay within the set range as
I have it written but I also have to find each occurance of the 1's and 2's
to do a datafill iinbetween them which doesn't work any other way that I have
found (excluding the previous answer which I have not disected yet)

Set r = ActiveSheet.Range("E3:AU65534")

If you want c to reach AU65535 then you will have to change the range for r.

statement to: If c.Address = "AU65534" Then

It could be that you need a brief delay just after that statement to give the
Exit For
time to work. Try inserting this snippet in just after the if statement:

s = Timer + 0.5
Do While Timer < s
DoEvents
Loop

That will give it a half second delay. If it still don't exit, I have no
other guesses.

Well - the snippit is great - I was unaware of how to write a time event -
Love to learn new things - BU But still no luck with the If c.address
statement. I even removed the little portion of the code and tried it on a
blank worksheet without success. Is it possible 'Address' is not stored in my
library correctly? Anyway - I think I will take a fresh look at this
tommorrow. I sure appreciate all your suggestions.

I'm not sure I understand, but say you have 3 columns that look like:

1 - -

And you want it to look like this after you're done:

This is awsome! Wow! - It does exactly what I want! Thank you so much

But I do have an error not sure how to handle it, its stopping on the line
"If BotCell.Row < TopCell.Row Then" with Run Time Error 91 - object variable
or block variable not set - I don't see a missing variable? (Just a after
thought, the blank cells are actually zero's - Does it matter?)

Oops. I added some code at the end and I put it in the wrong spot.

This is awsome! Wow! - It does exactly what I want! Thank you so much

But I do have an error not sure how to handle it, its stopping on the line
"If BotCell.Row < TopCell.Row Then" with Run Time Error 91 - object variable
or block variable not set - I don't see a missing variable? (Just a after
thought, the blank cells are actually zero's - Does it matter?)

I'm not sure I understand, but say you have 3 columns that look like:

1 - -
- - -
- 1 -
- - -
2 - -
- - -
- 2 -
- - -
1 - -
- - -
- 1 1
- - -
- - -
2 - -
- - 2
- 2 -
- - -
- - -
1 - 1
- - -
- 1 -
- - -
2 - -
- - 2
- 2 -
- - -
- - -
- - -
- - 1
- - -
- - -
- - -
- - 2

(the hyphen is an empty cell)

And you want it to look like this after you're done:

1 - -
1 - -
1 1 -
1 1 -
2 1 -
- 1 -
- 2 -
- - -
1 - -
1 - -
1 1 1
1 1 1
1 1 1
2 1 1
- 1 2
- 2 -
- - -
- - -
1 - 1
1 - 1
1 1 1
1 1 1
2 1 1
- 1 2
- 2 -
- - -
- - -
- - -
- - 1
- - 1
- - 1
- - 1
- - 2

Then this seemed to work ok for me--try it against a copy of your data--it
destroys the original by filling those cells with 1's.
