MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / April 2007Simple Excel Macro
OK, OK...so (technically) I'm not a "new" user of Excel. I've created simple macros in older versions of Excel, before macro and Visual Basic meant the same thing. I want to create a simple macro, but VB is foreign to me. All I want the macro to do is press F2 (to edit the text in a cell), hit Home (to go to the beginning of the cell contents) and insert a couple letters. However, when I record it, the VB script replaces the text in my cell with the text that was in the cell I used to record it. Anyone know how to get Excel to do the simple macros it used to do? Not Lotus. Maybe this simple? Sub addtexttostartofcell() ActiveCell = "aa" & ActiveCell End Sub  SignatureDon Guillett SalesAid Software dguillett1@austin.rr.com > OK, OK...so (technically) I'm not a "new" user of Excel.

XL's recorder only records results of your actions, as you've found. One way: Public Sub InsertLetters() ActiveCell.Value = "AB" & ActiveCell.Text End Sub > OK, OK...so (technically) I'm not a "new" user of Excel.

Yes...this is exactly what I need. I apologize for not being familiar with VB scripts. I'm only just starting to scratch the surface of Actionscript in Flash. > XL's recorder only records results of your actions, as you've found. > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > > > Anyone know how to get Excel to do the simple macros it used to do?
