Chip and Bob both read you query as wanting the formula put into the
selected cells. I read it differently. Am I the one out of step? It
wouldn't be the first time.
I think that you don't want a formula placed in those cells. Instead,
you want the current cell contents to be one of the arguments of the formula
and then you want the result of the formula put into the same cell. For
instance, if the cell contains 5 and the formula you input is
(CurrentValue*A1) then you would get the result of 5*A1 put into that cell,
not a formula. Is that what you want? HTH Otto

Is it possible to create a macro that when a selection of cells is
picked and the macro run a box will appear on the screen which allows
the user to enter a formula which is then applied to all the cells
selected and the new value returned in the original cells?

ie i highlight cells a1, a2, a3... click the macro. A box appears
prompting me to enter a formula of my choosing to apply to the
selection. On clicking OK the formula is applied and the new values
returned to a1, a2, a3

Apologies if this is really simple!!! And thanks in advance for any
help
