Simple Keyboard Maneuver
I tried to make a macro to do this, but I failed.
I need to do this: in the same row I want to copy the contents of one cell and then copy the same contents into the next cell to the right, and then delete the contents in the left cell. I have tried various keystrokes, but it doesn't seem to work. Is there any way this can be automated? Of course using a macro would be nice, but as I said I couldn't get it to do even this simple task. Could someone please give me some advice? Also, I am incapable of writing a macro from scratch. To repeat: copy the contents of a cell, paste the contents in the next cell (to the right), and delete the contents of the first / left cell. |

Sub sonic() ActiveCell.Offset(, 1).Value = ActiveCell.Value ActiveCell.ClearContents End Sub Mike "Rebecca" wrote: I tried to make a macro to do this, but I failed.

Hi Rebecca
Without using a macro. Place your cursor in source cellControl+X Place your cursor in destination cellControl+V -- Regards Roger Govier "Rebecca" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Roger, but slow as I am I know that keystrokes. I need a faster way
to do this (since it's a large spreadsheet). I'll try Mike's macro, then designate a hotkey, and that would eliminate a few strokes. "Roger Govier" wrote: Hi Rebecca Without using a macro.

Hi Rebecca
if you need to do it for all cells within a column, you could just Highlight the columnInsert This would have the same effect. -- Regards Roger Govier "Rebecca" wrote in message ...

Select the cells or column, Ctrl + Shift + plus key
Ok, to shift cells to right. With code: activecell.EntireColumn.Insert shift:=xltoright or activecell = activecell(1,2) : activecell.clearcontents or With Selection .Copy .Offset(0, 1) .ClearContents End With Without knowing why you wish to do this, we cant advise you on the damage you can do to the worksheets Names and Formulas if you think this OK. Changing the whole row or column would be a lot safer. Which is easy to do with Ctrl & minus key for the selection. Regards Robert McCurdy "Rebecca" wrote in message ...
