    how to assign a part of an array to a cell

    I'm using an array to pull stock info. Part of this array is for a stock symbol.
    I'm trying to see if it is possible to assign cell A1 for that piece of the array so I can change the symbol bytyping a new symbol in A1. If so I would create a macro and assign it to a button to handle ctrl+Shift+enter.
    Do I have any other options if this isn't going to work?

    That will work fine.

    Re: how to assign a part of an array to a cell

    I wasn't clear, my array starts in D4
    I wanted to use A1 to change a part of that array when I want to pull another stock. I've tried to put

    in the array where the symbol normally goes, thinking i would then be able to type whatever symbol I wanted in A1 and it take place in the array. This doesn't happen.

    I'm trying to type a stock symbol into A1 and it replaces the current symbol within the array. How can I do that?

    It would help if you gave us the array formula. If your formula currently contains your Stock symbol in quotes (e.g. "JNJ"), simply remove the quotes and use $A$1. Does that help?

    Perhaps posting a sample sheet showing your current data and formulas, plus desired result page? I can't figure out what is going on with your sheet from what I've read so far.
