Using result of user input?
 

Can anyone please, please help?
I need to write a macro that will ask the user what week it is, then
find that corresponding week number on a spreadsheet and then put a
load of formula into the blank cells in that column from rows 9 down to
360.
I can get the macro to ask for the output and find the cells, but I
can't seem to get the last part to work. The code I'm using is below,
can anyone tell where I'm going wrong?
Dim intC As Integer

MyValue3 = Application.InputBox("What week is it?")
Cells(3, 3) = MyValue3
Range("o7:r7").Find(What:=MyValue3).Activate
intC = ActiveCell.Column
Range(Cells(9, intC), Cells(360, intC)).Select
Dim Cell As Range
For Each Cell In Selection
If Cell.Value < "" Then
Cell.Offset(0, 11).Value = "=INDEX('Raw
Data'!R1:R600,MATCH((Template!RC[-13]&Template!RC[-12]),'Raw
Data'!C1,0),MATCH(R7C,'Raw Data'!R3,0))"
Range("O11").Select

End If
Next Cell

End Sub

as you're entering formula not value, you need to change
this
Cell.Offset(0, 11).Value =
to this
Cell.Offset(0, 11).FormulaR1C1 =

also
Range("o7:r7").Find(What:=MyValue3).Activate
intC = ActiveCell.Column
try

intC =Range("o7:r7").Find(What:=MyValue3).Column

It would be better to trap if a find doesn't return an
answer...

Set cell = Range("o7:r7").Find(What:=MyValue3)
If NOT Cell is nothing then
intC= cell.column

' your loop goes here
For Each Cell In Range(Cells(9, intC), _
Cells(360, intC))
If Cell.Value < "" Then
Cell.Offset(0, 11).Value = "=INDEX('Raw
Data'!R1:R600,MATCH((Template!RC[-13] & _
Template!RC[- 12]),'Raw
Data'!C1,0),MATCH(R7C,'Raw Data'!R3,0))"
Range("O11").Select
End If
next
end if


Note that there's no need to activate or select cells to
use them

Using result of user input?
 

Thanks Patrick, but this still doesn't seem to be picking up the cell
range that I need.

The code that I'm using now is:
MyValue3 = Application.InputBox("What week is it?")
Cells(3, 3) = MyValue3
intC = Range("o7:r7").Find(What:=MyValue3).Column
Set Cell = Range("o7:r7").Find(What:=MyValue3)
If Not Cell Is Nothing Then
intC = Cell.Column


For Each Cell In Selection
If Cell.Value < "" Then
Cell.Offset(0, 11).Value = "=INDEX('Raw
Data'!R1:R600,MATCH((Template!RC[-13]&Template!RC[-12]),'Raw
Data'!C1,0),MATCH(R7C,'Raw Data'!R3,0))"

End If
Next Cell
End If

If I set the range as d9:D360 before the loop, then it runs fine. But I
cannot for the life of me get the code right to pick the range as a
result of the input. For example, if the input is week 47, it does not
do anything, even though week 47 is in the range o7:r7.
Can anyone please help me?
