Default macro to increment/decrement values in selected cells

Thanks for the quick reply.
I tried to incorporate the PasteSpecial into a macro with mixed results.

If I use a CommandButton, the instructions worked.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Address = ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Address(True, True, xlA1)
Range("A18").Select
Selection.Copy
Range(Address).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlAll, Operation:=xlAdd, SkipBlanks:=False _
, Transpose:=False

End Sub

However, when I try to use the SpinButton, it fails.

Private Sub SpinButton1_SpinUp()
Address = ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Address(True, True, xlA1)
Increment = SpinButton1.LinkedCell
Range(Increment).Select
Selection.Copy
Range(Address).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlAll, Operation:=xlAdd, SkipBlanks:=False _
, Transpose:=Fals
End Sub

Confued.

sunny,

If you want to multiply a range of cells by 10 then enter 10 into any blank
cell.

Copy the cell then select the range to be modified, Paste Special, Multiply.

See the other options in the paste special dialog box.

Hi
I am trying to write a macro to increment/decrement the values in a range of
selected cells (e.g. R3C3:R8C10).

I got as far as returning the address of the selected cells ("R3C3:R8C10")
using:
ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.address(True,True,xlR1 C1)

Now how do I use these address "corners" to cycle through the cells?
Range() and Cell() seem to require a different format.

Or, is there a simpler way to add/subtract/multiply a selected range of
cells by another value?

Thanks
