    Return the value of an active cell, dynamically

    Hello,

    Not sure if that can be done without VBA, but I sure hope so!

    Is it possible to return the value of the active cell (ie the one selected by your cursor) in another cell?

    For example A1="Active Cell"

    If I click on a cell where the numerical value is 12, I would like the A1 cell to automatically show "12" as well (and I would use A1 as an input in formulas elsewhere on the sheet). If I then click on a cell where the value is 15, A1 would show 15 instead.

    Thank you!

    no, this will require VBA
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Arg, ok... Would you know what kind of macro I should create with VBA to achieve the desired result?

    Thank you
