    Drag down mismatch, pull wrong cell (need $ in my cell?)

    Hi all, I am little stuck with below. I run my macro to check if column 8 matches column 10.

    My result is returned in column M - I only want the result to be returned if a cell is blank.. my formula screws up if I have 5 filled cells and on next blank cell in row 6, my formula returns result but it uses my numbers from row 2. ofcourse I need my result to be returnded on data from row 6(not initial row2)

    Please post the workbook so we have some sample data. Indicate what you get and what you expect to get (and why).

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook. Don't upload a picture when you have a workbook question. None of us is inclined to recreate your data. Upload the workbook and manually add an 'after' situation so that we can see what you expect. In addition clearly explain how you get the results..

    To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page.

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
