Excel Autofilling to 65543-need macro correction

[Guest]

Hi All,

I am writing a macro to use the data/subtotal tool that excel has. I am
inserting a column, and doing a "left" formula in the cell I want that to
start with, and then I am autofilling down. The problem is, I need it to
autofill to the end of the selection, not the end of excel, which it is doing
now....here is the portion of code for the formula and autofilling:

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=LEFT(RC[-1],3)"
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range(ActiveCell, Selection.End(xlDown))

Also, this active cell in column D is at a different location for each wkst
I use the macro on, so I can't say anything like D1, or D2, it has to be from
the active cell location, and then only to the end of data, which also varies
for each worksheet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

There are many ways to do this. Here's one:

Sub a()
Dim RowCount As Long
With ActiveCell
RowCount = .Offset(0, -1).End(xlDown).Row - .Offset(0, -1).Row + 1
.FormulaR1C1 = "=LEFT(RC[-1],3)"
.AutoFill .Resize(RowCount)
End With
End Sub

Thank you very much...I have been trying to figure this out for the last 2
days......I have tried it on the a few of the imported documents, and it
works nicely...
