You can also just type into the name box one of these:
"c2 r" or "Description r" or "index(description,row())"

The equivalent in VBA is: application.goto "Description r" , etc.
An advantage is that you can use the macro recorder to generate the code.

Hi

I have been messing around for several hours to try and figure out how
to do this but can never get quite what I want. I need to be able to
run the macro and have it select a cell by using the row of the
current active cell and column B. say for instance cell D5 is active,
I would want the macro to select cell B5, if F15 were active then I
would want it to select B15.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank

Try this macro

Sub select_B()
ActiveSheet.Cells(ActiveCell.Row, "B").Select
End Sub

Hope this helps / Lars-Ã…ke

I am now wondering, I highlighted the entire column B and typed
Description into the name box is there a way that I can use that title
instead of B

thanks
