Combining Cells

Hello there, thank you for taking the time to read my question.

I need to combine two cells via VBA.

For instance, if I'm in cell ES128 I need to combine ES1 and A126. (i.e. =ES1&A128)

In a nutshell, whatever cell I'm in, I need to combine row 1 of the active column and column A of the active row.

So for another instance, if I'm in cell DR272 I need to combine DR1 and A272. (i.e. =DR1&A272).

My VBA skills are not good enough to do this myself, I would appreciate if someone could help.

Kind Regards.

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
This is sheet code for the sheet you want cells combined when you change the activecell.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Set Target = Target(1)
Target.Value = Me.Cells(1, Target.Column) & Me.Cells(Target.Row, "A")
End Sub

Try this out in the worksheet code

***Important*** Make sure you save the file first as this will continue to edit all cells infinitely and you might not liike what it did

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Target.Value = Cells(1, Target.Column).Value & Cells(Target.Row, 1).Value
End Sub

.


Code:
Option Explicit


Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Cells(Target.Row, 1).Value = 0 Or Cells(1, Target.Column).Value = 0 Then
    Exit Sub
Else
    Target.Value = Cells(1, Target.Column).Value + Cells(Target.Row, 1).Value
End If


End Sub

If there is no value in Col A for any row or no value in Row 1 of the active Col, the action exits the macro.

Thank you to everyone that responded.

My sincere apologies, I've had a little play around, but I don't understand Private Subs.

I just needed a bit of VBA to add in to a current macro.

Apologies again.

Maybe
Code:
Dim Cl As Range
Set Cl = Range("ES123")
Cl.Value = Cells(1, Cl.Column) & Cells(Cl.Row, 1)
