scratching my head

I guess I did a pretty bad job of describing my question. I truly appreciate
your reply but it didn't do what I needed. Let me ask it this way, I am
pasting a copy of a simple macro below.

Sub Macro3()
'
' Macro3 Macro
' Macro recorded 5/30/05 by new
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+z
'
Range("G2:G4").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("H1:J1").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlAll, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks:=False _
, Transpose:=True
Range("G7").Select
End Sub

The problem I have is that is copies and pastes the same data over and over
no matter what cell I have selected when I run the macro. What I need is for
the macro to run from the cell I have selected at the time I run the macro
and to perform the copy and paste operations relative to the cell that is
selected when the macro is ran.
Can you help?

Thanks
Still sctatching my head.

Hi

If you read your code, it's pretty obvious what to expect from it:

Whatever selected is cut.
B1 is selected and Paste.
A3 is selected and Cut
C1 is selected and Paste
.... and so on.

Your pattern isn't too obvious, but this should work with the data
described:

Sub Macro1()
Dim R As Long, C As Long
For R = ActiveCell.Row To ActiveCell.Row + 12 Step 6
For C = 1 To 4
Cells(R + C, 1).Cut _
Destination:=Cells(R, C + 1)
Next
Next
End Sub

HTH. Best wishes Harald

I am trying to move 4 cells within one column to 4 cells within one row,

ie:
A2, A3, A4, A5 to B1, C1, D1, E1 by using a macro. I want to repeat the

macro
then on cells A8, A9, A10, A11 moving them to rows A7, B7, C7, D7, etc.

See
the pattern? IE I am converting data in a column to data in rows. The

first 3
different files I tried this on, relative cell position worked great. Then
all of a sudden on the next file (and every file since) the macro always

runs
as if it is using absolute cell references. No matter what cell on the

sheet
I start the macro from, it always go back and tries the use A2,3,4,5 and

move
it to B1, C1, D1, E1. It worked in the beginning but now it doesn't. Can
anyone Help????
Thanks
