Excel table macro

[Shiraz Mistry]

Hi all,

I want to position my cursor in a cell (in Column A) and press a macro
button to fill in the rest of the week.

For example, cell A91 should fill the rest of the week as the above week,
that is, A81:H89.

Currently, this is the code for the table-

Sub Table()
'
' Table Macro
' Macro recorded 6/24/03 by Shiraz Mistry
'
'
Range("A71:H79").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("A81").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
I know it has something to do with the above range:

Range("A81").Select

but I am not sure what and how to change this line.

I can send the workbook to people that may be interested.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Shiraz J. Mistry

One way:

Public Sub Table()
With ActiveCell
If .Row > 10 Then _
.Offset(-10, 0).Resize(10, 8).Copy Destination:= _
.Cells
End With
End Sub

This uses the active cell, and, as long as it's in Row 11 or higher,
copies the 10 rows above it (and 8 columns wide) to the activecell.

The "." are shorthand for the object that follows the "With" (i.e.,
ActiveCell).

Notice that it avoids making any Selections - using the Range
objects directly (in this case ActiveCell and the ranges derived
from it) makes your code smaller, faster, and IMO easier to maintain.


BTW - most regulars read .misc, .worksheet.functions and
..programming, so, while cross-posting isn't nearly as bad as posting
individual messages to different groups, it's largely not necessary.

Thank you. Again, I am totally in awe of your quick answer. It does work and
I am understanding the code with your explanations.

Also thanks for the kind reminder of cross posting. I will remember this in
the future.
