I try to avoid asking questions here, mostly I learn from just recording
macros then tinkering with them (that is just too cool), or the so
called help feature. The times I have asked though I have been just
blown away by the knowledge and generosity of the resident experts.

I hope I can explain this clearly,

I'm trying to select a variable range in VB based on cell data. I've
tried the index function, it doesn't work for me. I thought that was
the answer to my prayers.lol
Basically what I'm trying to do is have a macro that when executed
takes values that were just entered into cells by a user and puts those
values into a specific cell designated in the macro with a set column
and a variable row depending on a value in a cell defined by a spinner
or other means .

Essentially what I'm trying to do is use my custom oversized forms
I've created in worksheets to enter data. Then I want to have that data
compiled in other worksheets in plain old lists. Then I have my custom
oversized reports that utilize the stored data in various ways.

There must be a simple macro floating around that accomplishes this
seemingly everyday basic need of any business.

I have Access too but I haven't messed around with it too much because
I'm really attached to the screens I've made in Excel for operating my
business(because of my A.D.D lol). I didn't think Access offered that
flexibility. Excel seems like it should be able to do anything I need
it to, if I could just figure it out. I really don't mind the extra
work. I'm just learning as I go and know very little really. It is
really frustrating when you hit a stumbling block. This is a major
hurdle for me. Can someone please enlighten me?

Assume you have a sheet2 with headers in row 1 like

LastName FirstName CustID Amount

in columns A, B, C, D respectively.

On sheet1, you enter

B9 LastName
B10 FirstName
C5 CustID
C21 Amount

you could have a button on the Sheet1 (the oversized form) that when clicked
would post that information to the second sheet.

Private Sub Commandbutton1_Click()
set rng = worksheets("Sheet2").Cells(rows.count,1).End(xlup) (2)
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
rng.Value = .Range("B9")
rng.offset(0,1).Value = .Range("B10")
rng.offset(0,2).Value = .Range("C5")
rng.Offset(0,3).Value = .Range(C21")
.Range("B9:B10,C5,C21").clearcontents
End With
End Sub

This is a general example. I have no idea how the spinner would play into
the picture and you have not provided any details.

That must have been simple for you. I'm amazed.

I've been trying to get those results for hours upon hours it seems.
Wow

I should have just taken the Excel class they offer at the college,
probably save myself some grief.

Thanks so much.
