WHERE is an SQL statement, so i don't think you will find it in excel or VBA
WHILE forms a conditional loop in excel and is part of most programming
languages
WHERE is reasonably similar to an if statement and a loop
the loop specifies the range you want to test, in this case everycell in
column b?
if will test each of those value
Dim iCount As Integer
Dim sCell As String
For iCount = 2 To 65536
scell = Range("B"&CStr(i)).Value
If cell < 2 Or scell = "" Then Range("B"&CStr(i)).Value = "1"
Next iCount
Will Loop through all of column b and replace any blank cells or cells with
values less than 2 with 1
