Default saving cell value for use later

Will need to use visual basic. Open the VBE (Alt+F11) and in the project
explorer box (usually top-left) double click on the ThisWorkbook module.
Paste the following in, and then modify accordingly:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, _
Cancel As Boolean)
'Define the sheet your values are on
With Sheets("Sheet1")
'Define Ranges as appropriate
..Range("A1").Value = .Range("A3").Value
..Range("A2").ClearContents
End With
End Sub


Close out the VBE, and you should be good to go. Macro will activate when
you save.

I have a worksheet that has a simple formula. In a1 is xxxnumber, a2 is
xxxnumber in a3 is =a1+a2. When i close the workbook I need to save the value
in a3 so that when i reopen the workbook, a2 is blank and a1 contains the
value from a3 in the previous workbook. Hope that made since.
Thanks for any suggestions.
