moving to relative location after finding data
 

Hi
try
Dim rng as range
Dim del_rng as range
'code to find the cell and assign this cell to rng
....
set del_rng = Range(rng.offset(-1,1),cells(1,rng.column+1))
del_rng.clearcontents

I need to find a string in a worksheet "xxx_virtual" and then move up
one row and right one cell and delete everything from there to the top
of the worksheet. I can build the macro using the record function, but
the only problem is that the macro uses the cell name when I move to
that location and the data changes each day- so my macro has to be
rebuilt each day. How can I replace the cell range with a relative
cell address?

Thanks.

moving to relative location after finding data
 

I've been using the record macro from within excel, so the code below is
what is generated and the Range("").select is the cell that is one row
above and one column to the right fo the cell that contains
"phbs_virtual"
It's the d27976 that changes each day.

Cells.Find(What:="phbs_virtual", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas,
_
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext,
_
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
Range("D27976").Select
Range(Selection, Cells(1)).Select
Selection.EntireRow.Delete
Range("A1").Select
