How to write macro that selects relative locations
I am using the macro recorder and have it turns to RELATIVE recording rather
than ABSOLUTE recording, but... I cannot figure out how to record navigation keys relative to my current location. For example, when I press the HOME key, I want the macro to just go to the far left column for the current row. When I press the UP ARROW, I want the macro to move up one cell from the current location. Even with the RELATIVE recording on, it still puts absolute references in the macro. How can I get around this? THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER! |

How to write macro that selects relative locations
To select the first column of the activecell's row (similar to Home)
Cells(Activecell.Row,1).Select To move up one cell: ActiveCell.Offset(-1,0).Select To move down one cell: ActiveCell.Offset(1,0).Select To move right one cell: ActiveCell.Offset(0,1).Select To move left one cell: ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select But you rarely need to select anything....
