Hey guys.

Tricky one.

I have Lengths in Column A1 to A50 these lengths always vary.

I want to add 20 to whatever length is within this column.

However, I can't use any formula fields in this column as this is fed directly to our machines.

Can I somehow (magically) look at this field and add 20 via VBA? IF so, can anyone point me in that direction?

Cheers!

Luke
 

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Using Fluff's method from earlier today...

Code:
Sub Add20()
    With Range("A1:A50")
        .Value = Evaluate(Replace("if(@<>"""",20+@,"""")", "@", .Address))
    End With
End Sub

or

Code:
Sub add20again()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Range("K1").Value = "20"
    Range("K1").Copy
    Range("A1:A50").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlAdd
    With Application
        .CutCopyMode = False
        Range("K1").ClearContents
        .ScreenUpdating = True
    End With
End Sub

You beauty - big fat kisses. Thank you!

I would probably change Fluff's code to this so that any non-numeric cell would remain unchanged (instead of becoming an error)...
Code:
[table="width: 500"]
[tr]
	[td]Sub Add20()
    With Range("A1:A9")
        .Value = Evaluate(Replace("IFERROR(IF(@="""","""",@+20),@)", "@", .Address))
    End With
End Sub[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
