Cell Value Based On Mouse Location
Is there a way to have excel track where my mouse is hovering(say if I have it hovering over cell A4) and have it return the value of A4 in a different cell (e.g B7)?
This would occur in real time - that is, as my mouse moved over the spreadsheet, B7 would update in real time.
Note I would also accept someone selecting the cell - hovering (no select) would be ideal but selecting is OK.

Creating Variables Based On Cell Location
if Row i Column j is activated then a corresponding variable Aij, Bij, Cij or Dij would be created (if not already existing), or cumulated by 1. The problem as I see it - completely generalised - is to create a variable where the variable name itself is formulaic, as well as its value. I know SAS would have no problem with this due to the order in which it parses data steps, but I'm pretty amateur with other programming languages so I don't know if this is blindingly obvious or downright impossible!

Select A Range Based On Active Cell Location?
I'm trying to select a range of cells whereby the range is dependent on the currently active cell. I know you can use the "Activesheet.Range("A1:D2").select" method to select a range where the cells are always the same, but I'm after a dynamic selection where the values can be programmatically altered depending on some other result. For example, let's say that I make a certain cell active (based on the result of some other formula), and I want to select the range of cells in the adjacent column that is X rows deep. Putting this into context, imagine the resultant active cell is B2, I then want to select the range C2:C10, but if the active cell is E10, the range selected would be F10:F18 (if active cell is X, then range would be Y:Z). The Offset function would allow me to position the cell based on the current active one, but it doesn't let me select a range. The Range function only lets you choose either hard coded or index cells, e.g. "Range(cells(y,z), cells(y,z)).select", but this is still no good because I'd need to know the index value of the active cell (can this be done?).

Reference Cell Based On Button Location & Determine Button Used
I received this code from an example I found once upon a time that was originally submitted by someone else. Right now the code enters the current date in a cell of the same row as the checkbox when it's checked. I need to revise it, or come up with something similar, that will reference the value of a cell when it is in the same row as the button (from the Forms toolbar) that is clicked to activate the macro. First of all, I don't know how to reference a Forms button in VBA. Sub Process_CheckBox() Dim cBox As CheckBox Dim LRow As Integer Dim LRange As String LName = Application.Caller Set cBox = ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes(LName) ' Find row that checkbox resides in LRow = cBox.TopLeftCell.Row LRange = "B" & CStr(LRow) 'Change date in column B, if checkbox is checked If cBox.Value > 0 Then ActiveSheet.Range(LRange).Value = Date 'Clear date in column B, if checkbox is unchecked Else ActiveSheet.Range(LRange).Value = Null End If End Sub Here is some other code I already created. Unfortunately, because I don't know how to do the row reference, I had to create 25 different macros, which just bulks up the size of my file and slows it down. But here is what I'm trying to accomplish in my macro:.............

Set A Range Based On Area Selected Using Mouse?
I'm trying to set a variable for a range based on the cells selected. For example, I want variable "myrange" to be set to range("A1:D14") if I click on cell A1 and drag it to D14. So far everything I've tried ends up getting the good old "1004 - Application defined or object defined error".

Interpolation Given A Variable Table Location & Location Of Data Within
I am trying to develop a spreadsheet that will calculate a cost based on a matrix. I am attaching a sample of the calculation created so far. The end result is in cell M13 and is highlighted in yellow. I kind of layed the formula out in a few different cells, so hopefully it would be easy to follow. simplify this process with maybe another formula that I might not be aware of, or maybe show me how to get this done in VB code. I think VB code would be the correct way to go just not sure.

Detect Cell Address Of Cell Directly Under Mouse Pointer
I've a sheet that presents the profitability of sales locations in a geographic layout (similar to Tables in a restaurant), each sales location is a cell, with roughly 1,600 locations presented. Each location is colour coded based on performance / measure, in a basic thermographic way [e.g. dark blue for very poor, solid red for high performance] with users being able to change metrics and re-colour cells accordingly. The sheet is already information rich, but I'm wanting to detect the cell address directly under the pointer and populate a text box or other cell based on the value in the cell directly below the mouse pointer. My question is; Is there a simple way of detecting the mouse position on the XL Grid? nb. Want to avoid having to activate cell beneath pointer.

Pop-up Message For Cell Selection Or Mouse Over
I was just wondering if it was possible to get a collapsible menu/dialog box for excel when a user clicks on the cell of interest. I don't want to use the collapsible list function as I would rather the user be able to click on the cell of interest and then have that cell produce maybe another window/dialog box which will show the user what I have put in there - maybe a chart or table or just a set of data - and perhaps allow them to cut and paste the data as well? However, most importantly, I just want a dialog/window box to appear rather than having to group and use the collapsible list function. I've attached an image of what I have in mind.

Copy Cell Values While Id Value Is Same To New Location Then Repeat For New Id Value
what I need to do is , while an id value is constant copy 2 adjacent cells to a new location on the same row as the first occourance of the id value, then if the id is the same on the next row repeat the copy and add these 2 values to the cells next to the ones previously copied. Once the Id value changes then the copy restarts on a new row which is the same as the first occourance as the new id value and repeats the same sequence as described in the first statement. I have attached a sample spreadsheet showing an example of the source and how I would like it to end up, the colour is only there to seperate the outcome from the source and is not required in the code.

Circular Reference - Value Of That Variable Changes Depending On The Location Of The Cell
Excel 2003 > Attached is a small model of what I am trying to accomplish. Cells B2 and B4 contain the same formula … a formula that calls a simple function. The function has a variable passed to it … and the value of that variable changes depending on the location of the cell. Now, see the function in Module1 … it is called CellCalc. If the variable passed = Jim then value = 3. If the variable passed = Jack then value = 8. That is straightforward. Note also that when Sheet1 is activated, I calculate the cells from left to right and top to bottom … that is important. Here is the challenge. If B2 > 1 then I want to add B2 to B4 and set B2 to 1. I can set B4 properly but I cannot reset B2. You can see my 2 attempts that are commented out. Is there some way of accomplishing this … or am I simply stuck in a circular reference? The alternative to this is to write a function that operates externally on these cells. That will work for sure but then the values of the calculations will overwrite the functions in those cells, thereby taking away the dynamic nature of this application.

Function To Mirroring Cell Relative To Function's Location
I have created a List in excel of various tasks. (See attached example.) Each row contains one cell with a function which equals the cell above it and to the right. So the function for cell C3 would be D2. The only importance is that the cell mirrored is always the cell one above and to the right. However, now I would like to be able to rearrange this List, but the “one up and to the right” function will now be all over the place. Is someone aware of a function which will target a relative location instead of an exact cell?
