Hello,

I have a VBA code that I had made, but having a difficult time making a table from it. It has to be from a current selection, instead of A5 as it is never in the same cell in each workbook. Can someone help me?

Sub template()
'
' template Macro
'


'
ActiveCell.Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "word"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Date and Time:"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Start Time:"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "d/m/yyyy h:mm AM/PM"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Build Complete:"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "d/m/yyyy h:mm AM/PM"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Updated:"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "d/m/yyyy h:mm AM/PM"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Ticket:"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "d/m/yyyy h:mm AM/PM"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Send To:"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "d/m/yyyy h:mm AM/PM"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Completed:"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "d/m/yyyy h:mm AM/PM"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Status:"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(-7, -1).Select
Selection.Offset(1, 2).Select
End Sub

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Try this:
Code:
Sub New_Sub()
'Modified  10/19/2018  5:54:56 AM  EDT
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim tbl As ListObjects
Dim x As Long
For Each tbs In ActiveSheet.ListObjects
x = x + 1
Next
With ActiveCell
.Value = "word"
.Offset(1).Value = "Start Time"
.Offset(2).Value = "Build Complete:"
.Offset(3).Value = "Updated:"
.Offset(4).Value = "Ticket:"
.Offset(5).Value = "Send To:"
.Offset(6).Value = "Completed:"
.Offset(7).Value = "Status:"
.Offset(, 1).Value = "Date and Time:"
End With
ActiveCell.Resize(8, 2).Select
ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(xlSrcRange, Selection, , xlYes).Name = "Table" & x + 1
Selection.Columns.AutoFit
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I made a mistake and forgot about the formatting.
Try this:
Code:
Sub New_Sub_Mod()
'Modified  10/19/2018  6:38:56 AM  EDT
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim tbl As ListObjects
Dim x As Long
For Each tbs In ActiveSheet.ListObjects
x = x + 1
Next
With ActiveCell
.Value = "word"
.Offset(1).Value = "Start Time"
.Offset(1, 1).NumberFormat = "d/m/yyyy h:mm AM/PM"
.Offset(2).Value = "Build Complete:"
.Offset(2, 1).NumberFormat = "d/m/yyyy h:mm AM/PM"
.Offset(3).Value = "Updated:"
.Offset(3, 1).NumberFormat = "d/m/yyyy h:mm AM/PM"
.Offset(4).Value = "Ticket:"
.Offset(4, 1).NumberFormat = "d/m/yyyy h:mm AM/PM"
.Offset(5).Value = "Send To:"
.Offset(5, 1).NumberFormat = "d/m/yyyy h:mm AM/PM"
.Offset(6).Value = "Completed:"
.Offset(6, 1).NumberFormat = "d/m/yyyy h:mm AM/PM"
.Offset(7).Value = "Status:"
.Offset(, 1).Value = "Date and Time:"
End With
ActiveCell.Resize(8, 2).Select
ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(xlSrcRange, Selection, , xlYes).Name = "Table" & x + 1
Selection.Columns.AutoFit
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

You never said if it even does what you want.
Most posters will say that did what I want but can you add this:
