If this is within Excel, you do not need that method. But if you have a
range selected, what do you mean by the Activecell ?
May be you mean this:
Range("D1").Value = Application.Sum(Selection)

Cheers,

any idea on the syntax to then paste from the clipboard.

Now I just need another macro that i'll bind to a key stroke so that it
does a 'paste values' command into the active cell.

Cheers

DataObject is part of the MSForms library, so you need to add a

Hey Nick,

'DataObject' isn't a valid Dim so it errors out.

Any otherway??

Dewey,
Here's one way:

Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
Dim MyData As DataObject
Set MyData = New DataObject
MyData.SetText Application.Sum(Selection)
MyData.PutInClipboard
End Sub

Hi,

I'm sure its simple but I can't seem to work it out. I need a
macro
that sums the selected cells and copies it to the clipboard.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Dewey
