Hi all, I am having trouble finishing the macro and was wondering if someone could help me out with below. Here is the summary:

1) I need to use VLOOKUP in Column A (starting Cell A3 and all the way down, this is where I would utalize LastRow=Cell.Find("*".[A1],,, xlByRows, xlPrevious).Row
2) In total I have 4,000 rows (changes daily though)
3) there are about 1,000 random blank cells in column A
4) I need VLOOKUP to loop/scan the whole column and populate the vlookup formula only for blank cells


Any help would be much appreciated. I was thinking of using autofilter, finding blank cells, but I was hoping there is an easier way

Thanks so much

hi.
try:

Range("A3:A" & LastRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Formula = WorksheetFunction.VlookUp(blah blah)

i'm not sure if it is a typo....

for last row try:

LastRow = Cells.Find("*", searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row
