Make active cell a variable, return there later
User selects a cell and then hits a hot key to run a macro. I need the macro
to note that cell range, do some manipulations, then return to that cell and run some offset copy/pastes from there. The offset part works fine, but in the process of the first manipulations we're failing to return to the original cell to then run the offsets from there. I figure if I set a variable for the original cell, then I can return to that cell after the first manipulations. But I don't know how to set a variable for the active cell range, and don't know how to later return to (activate/select) the range of the variable. |

x = ActiveCell.Address gets the variable loaded for the original cell.
Range(x).Offset(0, 1) is one column to the right of the original cell. Range(x).Offset(-1, 0) is one row above the original cell, unless the original cell was on row 1, in which case you get an out or range error. etc. If you are using the select and activate style of code writing then Range(x).Activate will take you to the original cell.

hi
another way to do it; Dim r as range set r = activecell run code here r.select to do stuff on another sheet then return to the previous sheet cell: dim r as range dim s a worksheet select another sheet to run code. s.activate r.select regards FSt1 "Andyjim" wrote: User selects a cell and then hits a hot key to run a macro.
