Hi,

Its clear that I am still a newbie...

In VBA, how do I assign a value to a cell with out first selecting the cell?
In pseudo code I would describe it as "Assign the value 5 to the cell in
location x".

Kind regards

George

try
cells(1,5)=5
or
range("a5")=5

In the simplest form: Cells({row},{column}).value=5
More explicitly: Worksheets({worksheet id}).Cells({row},{column}).value=5

Thank you, thats what I was looking for.

Range("A1").Value = 1

It is also good practice to reference the workbook and worksheet

With Activeworkbook
With .Worksheets("Sheet1")
.Range("A1").Value = 5
....
End With
End With

note the leading dots
