After I put my data in cell E10, I want to goto cell B15.
What I have here in the procedure in line 3 is the line from a macro I
recorded to try to get an idea how to do this. But this line has the
value i input during recording. I will need to input a different value
on each use of the ws.
I expect I need a variable declared to allow cell value to change, but I
don't have enough knowledge to know exactly how to do it.

I'm thinking that if I declare a variable, then say activecell.value =
Myvariable, that might do it - but this is a newbie guess from other
code I've been reading. If this is right, does the variable name need to
go in the parantheses in the public sub line?

Please help

Public Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Range("E10").Activate
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "34567"
Range("B15").Select
End Sub

thank you
Joanne

You don't have to activate or select a cell to read or write data

from
Range("E10").Activate
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "34567"
to
Range("E10").Activate.FormulaR1C1 = "34567"

You can move through cells as follows

For RowCount = 1 to 10
Range("E" & RowCount).FormulaR1C1 = "34567"
next RowCount


For ColCount = 3 to 10
cells(3, ColCount).FormulaR1C1 = "34567"
next ColCount


Note for cells statement you can either use
cells(3,5) = 8
or
cells(3,"E") = 8

hi
not really. the variable can be put in parantheses or in can be declared.

sub test (r as string)
or
sub test()
dim r as string

either way is ok.

then in your coding...

Public Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Range("E10").value = "34567"
'Note the absent Activecell. less typing, cleaner code.
Range("B15").Select
End Sub

you might want to make use of the input box function....
Public Sub Worksheet_Activate()
dim r as string
r = inputbox("enter something")
Range("E10").value = r
Range("B15").Select
End Sub

hope this cleared things up somewhat

In the module for the relevant sheet, make the following event macro:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$E$10" Then Range("B15").Select
End Sub

Works sweet - thank you very much
Also gives me some info on how ws_change works - I am having trouble
figuring out where to put my macro calls so they run when they should
(and only then). I see using an if statement kinda anchors the code so
that it runs only when target.address is = to E10 (in this instance), so
the line of code will not run on other change events using a diff
address. Am I going down the right path?

Hi

You are absolutely going down the right path. Shoud be aware that
Target.Address returns a string including dollar-signs. If you more advanced
conditioning, you can use Target.Row and/or Target.Column. Those properties
returns number of row/column of the target.

Worksheet_SelectionChange works similar to Worksheet_Change, except the
macro is executed whenever selection is changed on the sheet, even if the
entered value of the sheet is not changed.

Regards, Lazzzx
