How to Fill Empty Cells in Excel Based on Identical Offsets in VBA

Are you struggling with filling empty cells in Excel based on values in adjacent cells? If you're working with large datasets, this can be a cumbersome task. In this post, we'll show you how to automate this process with a simple VBA macro that ensures cells get filled only when specific conditions are met, particularly when offsets in another column are identical.

The Problem

You are often faced with situations where you have columns with some blank cells that need to be filled based on values from another column. Specifically, you want to fill the empty cells in Column B based on the condition that the offsets in Column A are the same. Here’s a quick example to illustrate:

In the example above, the blank cell under Column B next to "Audi" should be filled with the value "red" because it matches the same name in Column A.

The Solution

To achieve this, we can write a VBA macro. Here’s a step-by-step explanation of how the code works:

Step 1: Setting up the VBA Environment

Open your Excel workbook.

Press Alt + F11 to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.

Click on Insert Module to insert a new module.

Step 2: Writing the VBA Code

Here is the code that will perform the required action to fill the empty cells in Column B:

Code Breakdown

Dim c As Range: This declares a variable c of the type Range, which will be used to loop through each cell in the designated range.

For Each c In Application.Intersect(ActiveSheet.Columns(2), ActiveSheet.UsedRange).Cells: This line loops through each cell in Column B that is within the used range of the worksheet.

If Len(Trim(c.Value)) = 0: This condition checks whether the cell is empty (after trimming any extra spaces).

c.Offset(0, -1).Value = c.Offset(1, -1).Value: This checks if the value in Column A (the identical offset) matches the value in the next row down in Column A.

c.Value = c.Offset(1, 0).Value: If the above conditions are true, it fills the empty cell in Column B with the value from the cell directly below it in Column B.

Step 3: Running the Macro

Once you've input the code:

Close the VBA editor and return to your Excel workbook.

You might want to make sure your data is in order and that the macro is correctly targeting the appropriate columns.

Press Alt + F8, select Fillin, and click Run.

Conclusion

By using the VBA code provided, you can automate the task of filling in cells based on identical offsets, which saves you time and reduces the risk of errors when working with large datasets. This method not only streamlines your data management but also enhances your productivity in Excel.
