Passing Addresses Instead of Values
 

I have a nice excel macro below that passes cell values on Input sheet (Ins)
to Output sheet (OS).
The macro examines Output sheet Column A for rows having some ..... and then
writes the appropriate InS row values to the ..... row. When 1 InS row is
written the macro increments to the next correct row pairs.
It works nicely with 20,000 row input sheets.

I want to alter the macro below so that an address is passed rather that a
value and leaves the InS and OS permanently linked. Verbally put:

InS.Range(InS.Cells(datarow, "A"), InS.Cells(datarow, "E")).Copy
Destination:=OS.Cells(i, "C")

needs to be altered to permanently write the correct cell addresses rather
than cell values.

Thanks ahead of time,

John

Dim OS, InS As Worksheet

Set OS = Sheets("sheet3")
Set InS = Sheets("sheet2")

lastrow = OS.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
datarow = 1
For i = 10 To lastrow
If Left(OS.Cells(i, "A"), 4) = "...." Then
InS.Range(InS.Cells(datarow, "A"), InS.Cells(datarow, "E")).Copy

datarow = datarow + 1
End If
Next i

Hi John,

I'm not sure, but I think you could use this line of code to link the two
cells:

OS.Cells(i, "C").Formula = "=" & InS.Range(InS.Cells(datarow, "A"),
InS.Cells(datarow, "E")).Address

translating from the Italian version of Excel...)

Hope I helped you.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
