3- In cell CF I have a what if formula [=IF(CE10<=1,"Safe","Unsafe")] if the value in cell CE is less than 1 then the design is safe if it is more than 1 than the design is unsafe.
What I want the macro to do is go through the values in the dropdown list in AA one by one as long as the formula in CF states it is safe then it is ok, however if it returns with an answer unsafe than that the wrong answer. I want the macro to stop at the last value in the dropdown list that will give the answer safe. For example subjecting a member to a force 50 is safe however if it is subjected to a force 60 it will become unsafe. Basically I want the answer that will give me the max force a member can take before becoming unsafe.
Thanks

Ok the attachment helped substantially. I do believe that a do while loop will accomplish this. I can write one for you but wont be able to get to it till tomorrow but I will write some simple do loops for you and show you how they work so you can see how to do this.
