Give this alternative a try. It labels all non-empty cells all the way
to the last cell non-empty cell in the column:
Dim aCol As Variant
Dim bCol As Variant
bCol = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns("A")
ReDim aCol(1 To UBound(bCol, 1), 1 To 1)
Dim i As Long
i = 1
Dim irow As Long
For irow = 1 To UBound(bCol, 1)
If bCol(irow, 1) <> "" Then
aCol(irow, 1) = i
i = i + 1
Else
aCol(irow, 1) = ""
End If
Next irow
Columns("A:A").Insert Shift:=xlToRight
Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(UBound(bCol, 1), 1)) = aCol
It is of course a little less speedy than the routine proposed by
Dave.
