referencing a cell in a macro

[R Dunn]

Hi all,

I'm trying to write a macro that looks at the entry in A1, and if this is
11, then it copies the entry in B1 into another sheet.
But then it loops through all the rows with data in them, so I can't just
use "A1 and "B1".

At the moment, I'm using "MyCell", as per the code below. But what I'd like
to do is change the line
Range("B4").Select
to something like
Range(Cells(MyCell.Row, MyCell.Column)).Select

I know this isn't the right way to reference it, anyone know how?
NB: I'm using Excel 2003, so I don't have access to the OFFSET command.

Thanks in advance!
Rebecca



For Each MyCell In Selection
If MyCell.Value Like 11 Then
' Change to follow cells properly
Range("B4").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("11 out").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
Next

End Sub

Hi Rebecca

Try something like the following

Sub test()
Dim c As Range, i As Long
Dim wsd As Worksheet
Set wsd = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("11 Out")
i = wsd.Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row + 1

For Each c In Selection
If c.Value = 11 Then
c.Offset(0, 1).Copy wsd.Cells(i, 2)
i = i + 1
End If
Next

End Sub

Hi Rebecca,

Cells(MyCell.Row, MyCell.Column).Select

will do just that. Cells is a Range, which you can select.

You can also use
r = MyCell.Row
c = MyCell.Column
Cells(r,c).Select
and then use r = r + 1 to reference the cell below.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Gerd. I didn't realise that "Cells" was already a range, so I was
using "Range(Cells(row, col))" - oops!

Thanks for the code, Roger.
I can't use offset, 'cos I'm using excel 2003, but I'll just use Cells
(MyCell, MyCell + 1) instead.
The rest looks useful though

Hi Rebecca

I can't use offset, 'cos I'm using excel 2003

I don't understand
Offset works in XL2003 absolutely fine.
I wrote the code with Xl2003 and tested before posting.
