hi there,

i want to make a macro that takes the sum of cell (B1) for example and
multiplies it by (A1), my problem is that i also want to apply the macro on
other cells (like (B2)) so i want to have 2 active cells (one for taking sum
of cells & the other to calculate the multiplication) - is it possible?

e.g.
A B C
1 2+3*5 MACRO OF SUM A1*B1
2 7+3*1 MACRO OF SUM A2*B2
3 6+5*2 MACRO OF SUM A3*B3

is it possible?

thank u

This is easily done but please re-state your requirements.

Why do you need a macro? Just type a formula into C column cells:

=A1*B1

hi all,

the reason that c1<a1*b1 is because a1 contains charactes that must be
evaluated first befroe getting its sum. (eg. 25+3*1) u see this * do not let
excel evalutes it automaticly, but using evalute function in vba let this
possible.

anyway i have figured it out as follows:

Dim Rng1 As Range, Rng2 As Range
Set Rng1 = ActiveCell
Set Rng2 = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1)
Rng2.Value = Evaluate(Rng1.Value)

many thanks

Rang.Value = Evaluate(Rang.Value)
