Insert data in special way
Posted by paul on January 23, 2002 12:39 AM
Hi
sorry for dumb question. I need to insert
data in special way. Just imaging every 2 seconds
value in A1 is changing. I need to copy
old value down in A2, A3, A4 etc each time
when A1 is updated. It easy to do via Insert SQL
statement... but is there an easy way to write
similar function in VBA to keep old values
in down cells?
Sincerely
Paul

Hm,
Isnt this problem solved by the following.
(I am using the ActiveCell but any cell referens should do)
The trick here being to just insert a new cell and shift to the right.
Dim myCell As Cell
Dim newValue As String 'Or Whatever
Set myCell = ActiveCell 'Or Whatever
myCell.insert Shift:=xlShiftToRight
myCell = newValue

Hope it's not a problem, but with 65,536 rows you can only carry on for 131,071 seconds : or 2,184 minutes : approx 36 hours until you run out of space with your original data

Thanks a lot Staffan
tried to write the function
Function update_cell()
Dim myCell As Cell
Dim newValue As String 'Or Whatever
Set myCell = ActiveCell 'Or Whatever
myCell.Insert Shift:=xlShiftToRight
myCell = newValue
End Function
but it says user defined type not defined (on line Dim myCell As Cell)
Can you provide final code. Sorry I am new with Excel but got your idea and appreciate a lot!
