Displaying contents of Active Cell
Hello, in my spreadsheet I would like to display the contents of an active
cell in a different cell. As in, I select cell AB5 ("apples") and "apples" would be displayed in cell A1; if E25 ("fox") is selected, the result in A1 would be "fox". I appreciate any suggestions. |

Displaying contents of Active Cell
You will need to use a macro. Set the Security level to low/medium in
(Tools|Macro|Security). Right click the sheet tab View Code and paste the below code. Try selecting in that sheet.. Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Range("A1") = Target.Value End Sub If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Rope" wrote: Hello, in my spreadsheet I would like to display the contents of an active cell in a different cell.
