R1C1 style reference as Condition
In a macro, What is the syntax for a conditional line, the condition being the contents of a cell referred to with the style RC[-1 ] (same Row as the current cell, but Column one above)? Something like ------------------------------------------------ If ??????? RC[-1 ] ??? = ""Then ActiveCell = "The cell above-left is empty" End If ------------------------------------------------ What should the first half of my 1st line be? I'll feel very grateful to anyone who can help.

If you want the cell above the activecell:
if activecell.offset(-1,0).value = "" then if you want one column to the left: if activecell.offset(0,-1).value = "" then If you want on column to the left and one row up: if activecell.offset(-1,-1).value = "" then aca wrote: In a macro, What is the syntax for a conditional line, the condition being the contents of a cell referred to with the style RC[-1 ] (same Row as the current cell, but Column one above)?

Thank you David, but your solution is limited to the exemple I gave. Instead, I am looking for something with general functionnality like ------------------------------------ If ????? C2R[-1]??? ="" Then ....... ------------------------------------ If the cell in the Row above, but always in Column B, no matter which column the active cell is in.

Dave Peterson, Tim Williams, Tom Ogilvy.... Tank you so much to all of you. I see my message has triggered a crossfire of friendly exchanges due to a mistake I must have made in my previous reply, thanking the wrong person. Well thankfulness is never wrong, for you all have helped me greatly. If you are curious to know, the solution (coming from one of you) that exactly suits my problem is this: --------------------------------------------------- If ActiveSheet.Cells(ActiveCell.Row - 1, "B").Value = "" Then ActiveCell = "The cell, in column B and Row above this one, is empty" End If ------------------------------------------------- Again, my threefold thank you ACA -- aca ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aca's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=25933 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=539539 |
