Set baseCell = Activecell
or
Set baseCell = Selection.cells(1)
=====
When you do this:
Set baseCell = ActiveSheet.Range(Activecell)
it's the equivalent of:
Set baseCell = ActiveSheet.Range(Activecell.value)
If the value in the activecell looks like an address (B5 or 3:8 or x:z), then
it'll work--but probably(!) not what you want.
If the value in the activecell is anything else (a number, a string, an error,
....), then it'll fail.

Both suggested commands do NOT work.
If I use them e.g. in a command like:
Set baseCell = ActiveSheet.Range(Activecell)
or
Set baseCell = ActiveSheet.Range(Selection.cells(1))
then Excel crashes with the following popup:
"Run-time error '1004':
Application defined of object-defined error"
What's wrong?
Other possibilities of getting the currently marked cell?

Maybe
Activecell
or
Selection.cells(1)

Assume I have opened a worksheet and marked exactly one cell (e.g. D47).
Now I want to run a VB macro. How can I find out from inside this macro
which cell is currently marked in the current worksheet?
This should look similar to:
Set baseCell = ActiveSheet.Range(getcurrentlymarkedcell())
Obviously "getcurrentlymarkedcell()" does not exists. Which function can I use instead?
If the user accidentially marked a range of cells instead of a single cell then only the
first/upper+leftmost cell should be returned.
