Can I use a defined integer in an OFFSET method?
 
I have a looped macro for opening files and copy/paste some info from them.
In order to keep this info from overwriting I want to use an offset. Here is
a what I need:

Dim y As Integer
y = (D152 * 2)
ActiveCell.Offset(0, y).Select

I'm new to VBA so I not sure if this is possible, but this was the best
solution I could come up with... but still doesn't selct an offested cell
(D152=COUNT(O151:DL151))

VBA doesn't know what you mean by D152. It assumes you have an undeclared
variable by that name.

You need to tell it you are talking about a worksheet cell, i.e.

Dim y As Integer
y = Range("D152").Value * 2
ActiveCell.Offset(0, y).Select

BUT.... you are offsetting by Y columns, not by Y rows. And there are only 256
columns on a worksheet. If you mean to move *down* Y rows, it should be

ActiveCell.Offset(y, 0).Select
