    Unhappy Writing macro results to user defined areas within excel

    I am writing macros that manipulate data within excel.

    Is it possible to a write a macro that produces a result; say a graph or a set of values and then get the macro to ask the user where to place the calculated result/results/graph within excel?

    You can get a range from the user by something like:

    dim DestCell as range
    set destcell = nothing
    on error resume next
    set destcell = Application.inputbox(Prompt:="Please select a cell", _
    type:=8).cells(1,1)
    on error goto 0

    if destcell is nothing then
    'user hit cancel, what should happen?
    else
    'keep going??
    end if

    Alternatively, you could just tell the user that the output will be placed in
    the activecell--so they should select that before they start the macro.

    dim destcell as range
    set destcell = activecell
    .....
