Default Relative, Offset, ActiveCell


Thank you.

Isn't there a R0C-1...or something like that?

I Programmed Lotus 1-2-3 years ago using their @Cell & @Cellpointer, but
switched to Access in 1995.

Shouldn't people be able to use "ActiveCell", or something like that..???

Start with something simple, in a test workbook on a sheet with the named
cell. Note you'll need to initiate by storing the value of your DNine cell,
in the example simply by swtiching sheets and back.

Private mOldDNine As Variant
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
'switch to another sheet and back to initiate
mOldDNine = Range("DNine")
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim vNewDNine
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("DNine")) Is Nothing Then
vNewDNine = Range("DNine").Value
MsgBox "old DNine value : " & mOldDNine & vbCr & "new DNine : " &
vNewDNine
mOldDNine = vNewDNine

End If
End Sub


Post back if not clear what code after "IF" the DNine cell changes. Don't
post any code, just explain one or two examples with details what you have
and what you want to do.

Yes...the value would change in Cell "DNine"...then compare a "previous"
Reading in Cell "CNine" to place a calculated result in Cell "C_D_Nine".

This compares meter readings, and if a meter "turns over" from 9999 to
0000..
then...
If Cell "DNine" = 7, and Cell "CNine" = 9997, then Cell "C_D_Nine" = 11.
...or..
If Cell "DNine" = 7879, and Cell "CNine" = 7863, then Cell "C_D_Nine" =
16.

TIA - Bob

Just to clarify -

If Target = Range("DNine")

Do you intend that line to mean

If the Value in the cell that's just changed is the same as the value in
DNine Then
or
If the cell that's just changed is the DNine cell Then

As written, the code does the former but somehow I suspect you mean the
latter

I'm an Access Programmer using automation to send data to 72 different
Excel
cells.
These 72 cells all have the same relative cell "structure"...IE, the
Names
below are
...
"DNine" = I28
"CNine" = H28
"C_D_Nine" = I30

I'm sure I can substitute the Names below so whenever the
Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) occurs, I can have the ability
to calculate all 72 cell scenarios.

How...relative cell references, "Offset".. ?? TIA - Bob

sample code...
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target = Range("DNine") Then
If ((Range("DNine").Value - Range("CNine").Value < 0) _
And Abs(Range("DNine").Value - Range("CNine").Value) 9000) Then
If Len(Range("CNine")) = 4 Then
I = (10000 - Range("CNine").Value)
ElseIf Len(Range("CNine")) = 5 Then
I = (100000 - Range("CNine").Value)
ElseIf Len(Range("CNine")) = 6 Then
I = (1000000 - Range("CNine").Value)
ElseIf Len(Range("CNine")) = 74 Then
I = (10000000 - Range("CNine").Value)
End If
Range("C_D_Nine").Value = Range("DNine").Value + I
Else
Range("C_D_Nine").Value = (Range("DNine").Value -
Range("CNine").Value)
End If
End If
End Sub
