    Exclamation A problem about "SENDKEYS"...

    wt.zip

    I tried to use "sendkeys" for inserting "sum" formula to cell "A7",but it's failed.
    Someone can give suggestion ? Thanks!

    (I just want to simulate "ALT =" combination keys)

    Sub test()
    [a7].Select
    Application.SendKeys ("%=")
    End Sub

    Yes, I have a suggestion. Don't ever use SendKeys. It's buggy as...

    Thanks!

    In worksheet,using "Alt"+"=" will insert formula which sum the top continous cells ( cells count are dynamic).
    This is useful .So i tried to simulate this in VBA.

    Is there familiar methord? Thanks!

    The following is a very simplistic simulation of what Alt-= does.

    With AutoSum (Alt-=), if there are no populated cells in the column or row of the Active Cell, you will simply get the formula =SUM() and have to select a range. If there are no populated cells above the Active Cell, it will SUM all the cells to the left. Otherwise it will SUM the cells above it.

    I did consider trying to go for the full emulation but it's more complicated than it looks. Unfortunately, there are just too many considerations.
