Default Moving up / down in a macro

Look at Offset(row offset, column offset)

Range("B13").Offset(-1,0) will refer to cell B12
or, if you just want to select the cell above the active cell

ActiveCell.Offset(-1,0)

you could also use
Range("B13")(0,1)

in this case B13 is assumed to be cell 1,1 therefore 0,1 refers to the cell
just above it, 1,2 refers to cell C13 and so on. It's similar to offset, but
offset would, of course, assume B13 is cell 0,0

or Cells(13 - 1, 2) would refer to B12.
or Range("B" & 13 - 1)

Also, see Chips site for referring to cells within ranges

Good evening

I would like to replace the text RANGE("B13").select by a more dynamic way
of moving the cursor.

My intent was to tell Excel GO UP ONE ROW... What is the instruction I need
to put in the macro to say Move up / move down... Go right / go left

Thanks
