loops

[mrsak87]

Hi,

I was wondering if you could help me. I have a basic loop

Please Login or Register  to view this content.

The sequence of values which it's looping through go like 1,2,2,2,3,3,4,1,1,1,2,3,3,3.

The aim of this section of code is to blank out values duplicates and convert adjacent non-duplicates to 1 so it will go 1,1,"","",1,"",1,1,"","",1,1,"","". However, the loop fails (probably really obviously to you) because once a value is changed in the row above then the >than conditions are changed, I guess like a circular reference. Is it possible to bypass this? by "storing" the values and only changing them after the loop is finished?

Or do I need to copy the values into a different column, do the loop and then bring them back?

Sorry if this doesn't sound clear

Would the algorithm be, if the cell= the cell above, then blank, else 1
