Default Can I use a defined integer in an OFFSET method?

VBA doesn't know what you mean by D152. It assumes you have an undeclared
variable by that name.

You need to tell it you are talking about a worksheet cell, i.e.

Dim y As Integer
y = Range("D152").Value * 2
ActiveCell.Offset(0, y).Select

BUT.... you are offsetting by Y columns, not by Y rows. And there are only 256
columns on a worksheet. If you mean to move *down* Y rows, it should be

ActiveCell.Offset(y, 0).Select

I have a looped macro for opening files and copy/paste some info from them.
In order to keep this info from overwriting I want to use an offset. Here is
a what I need:

Dim y As Integer
y = (D152 * 2)
ActiveCell.Offset(0, y).Select

I'm new to VBA so I not sure if this is possible, but this was the best
solution I could come up with... but still doesn't selct an offested cell
(D152=COUNT(O151:DL151))
