Peter T - thank you...I opened another thread called "Another Try - Calculate
from ActiveCell...Progresss did occur, but I still have an issue (see my
latest Post there).

TIA - Bob

Unfortunately there are too many ways of second guessing what the code is
supposed to do, starting with the first line. As I suggested earlier try and
explain without code. Did you try the example I posted?

The macro recorder still does have the option to record with
relative/absolute addresses, but I doubt that's what you really want.
Difficult to say as you haven't explained what you are after
accomplishing

I'll check Offset. The Macro Recorder used to (I even found how it's
supposed to still record relative addresses, but I couldn't get it to
work).
I'll try this.

Thank you - Bob

To refer to a cell "relative" to a given cell use the Offset function

Afraid I don't follow at all the rest of what you are trying to do.

The relative addresses, which I've never used, should work...because
the
Worksheet_Change would examine the Cell "triggering" the
Event...then
look
over one Column to the left, in the same row, run the code, & place
the
result in the same Column, down 2 Rows.

I would also run this on Workbook_Open, selecting the 72 Cells,
individually, by...
Range("DNine").Select --- that would be the ActiveCell..
and Calling the Subroutine to get the resulting value.

..or I could replicate the code, w/ the Names 72 times...it would
work,
and
shouldn't take long, but why do that...when a Selection of the 72
Cells,
one
at a time, then calling the Subroutine w/ relative cell adddresses
would
work...or am I missing something?

TIA - Bob

What would you want ROC-1 for

Sure there's ActiveCell, but that's not necessarily the cell(s)
that
has/have just triggered a change event.

Thank you.

Isn't there a R0C-1...or something like that?

I Programmed Lotus 1-2-3 years ago using their @Cell &
@Cellpointer,
but
switched to Access in 1995.

Shouldn't people be able to use "ActiveCell", or something like
that..???

Start with something simple, in a test workbook on a sheet with
the
named
cell. Note you'll need to initiate by storing the value of your
DNine
cell,
in the example simply by swtiching sheets and back.

Private mOldDNine As Variant
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
'switch to another sheet and back to initiate
mOldDNine = Range("DNine")
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim vNewDNine
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("DNine")) Is Nothing Then
vNewDNine = Range("DNine").Value
MsgBox "old DNine value : " & mOldDNine & vbCr & "new

vNewDNine
mOldDNine = vNewDNine

End If

Post back if not clear what code after "IF" the DNine cell
changes.
Don't
post any code, just explain one or two examples with details
what
you
have
and what you want to do.

Yes...the value would change in Cell "DNine"...then compare a
"previous"
Reading in Cell "CNine" to place a calculated result in Cell
"C_D_Nine".

This compares meter readings, and if a meter "turns over" from
9999
to
0000..
then...
If Cell "DNine" = 7, and Cell "CNine" = 9997, then Cell
"C_D_Nine" =
11.
...or..
If Cell "DNine" = 7879, and Cell "CNine" = 7863, then Cell
"C_D_Nine" =
16.

TIA - Bob

"Peter T" wrote:

Just to clarify -

If Target = Range("DNine")

Do you intend that line to mean

If the Value in the cell that's just changed is the same as
the
value
in
DNine Then
or
If the cell that's just changed is the DNine cell Then

As written, the code does the former but somehow I suspect
you
mean
the
latter

I'm an Access Programmer using automation to send data to
72
different
Excel
cells.
These 72 cells all have the same relative cell
"structure"...IE,
the
Names
below are
...
"DNine" = I28
"CNine" = H28
"C_D_Nine" = I30

I'm sure I can substitute the Names below so whenever the
Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) occurs, I can have
the
ability
to calculate all 72 cell scenarios.

How...relative cell references, "Offset".. ?? TIA - Bob

sample code...
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target = Range("DNine") Then
If ((Range("DNine").Value - Range("CNine").Value < 0) _
And Abs(Range("DNine").Value - Range("CNine").Value)
9000)
Then
If Len(Range("CNine")) = 4 Then
I = (10000 - Range("CNine").Value)
ElseIf Len(Range("CNine")) = 5 Then
I = (100000 - Range("CNine").Value)
ElseIf Len(Range("CNine")) = 6 Then
I = (1000000 - Range("CNine").Value)
ElseIf Len(Range("CNine")) = 74 Then
I = (10000000 - Range("CNine").Value)
End If
Range("C_D_Nine").Value = Range("DNine").Value + I
Else
Range("C_D_Nine").Value = (Range("DNine").Value -
Range("CNine").Value)
End If
End If
End Sub
