Find and select first blank cell in column B with Excel vba - vba

Question

The below code works fine to find the first empty cell in a given column (here column B). But what I need is a code to find the first blank cell in that column.
Sub macro1()
Dim sourceCol As Integer, rowCount As Integer, currentRow As Integer
Dim currentRowValue As String
sourceCol = 2 'column B has a value of 2
rowCount = Cells(Rows.Count, sourceCol).End(xlUp).Row
'for every row, find the first blank cell and select it
For currentRow = 1 To rowCount
currentRowValue = Cells(currentRow, sourceCol).Value
If IsEmpty(currentRowValue) Or currentRowValue = "" Then
Cells(currentRow, sourceCol).Select
End If
Next
End Sub
Also, it should start looking from row 10 instead of row 1.
Can somebody rewrite this code to do this?

Answer 1

Could something like this be what you're looking for:
Sub test()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ActiveSheet
For Each cell In ws.Columns(2).Cells
If IsEmpty(cell) = True Then cell.Select: Exit For
Next cell
End Sub
This will run through each cell in column B in the active worksheet and select the first empty one it comes across. To set the sheet to a particular one Change Set ws = ActiveSheet to Set ws = Sheets("EnterSheetNameHere")
Or you could try using:
Sub test()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ActiveSheet
For Each cell In ws.Columns(2).Cells
If Len(cell) = 0 Then cell.Select: Exit For
Next cell
End Sub

Answer 2

My problem is solved by using the following code.
Sheets("sheet1").Select
Dim LR2 As Long, cell2 As Range, rng2 As Range
With Sheets("sheet1")
LR2 = .Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For Each cell2 In .Range("B8:B" & LR2)
If cell2.Value <> "" Then
If rng2 Is Nothing Then
Set rng2 = cell2
Else
Set rng2 = Union(rng2, cell2)
End If
End If
Next cell2
rng2.Select
End With

Answer 3

Just my two cents.
The function will look for the first encountered BLANK cell in a range, so it should work with columns and rows.
'Find first BLANK cell in a given range, returnt a range (one cell)
Function FirstBlank(ByVal rWhere As Range) As Range
Dim vCell As Variant
Dim answer As Range
Set answer = Nothing
For Each vCell In rWhere.Cells
If Len(vCell.Formula) = 0 Then
Set answer = vCell
Exit For
End If
Next vCell
Set FirstBlank = answer
End Function
And then do whatever you want with the cell.

Answer 4

Try this code to select the first empty cell below cell B10. But it requires B10 and B11 to be pre-occupied.
Range("B10").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).Select
or
Range("B100000").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
