Hi I can't find the answer in the archive.

I want to dynamically (ie without refresh/F9) use the value at the cursor position in a formula.

so assume I've a list of values in A1....A5

5
10
15
20

and as I move the cursor down the list I want a formula in another cell to use that (for example =n x 100) where n is the value in the list.

I can see CELL("address") can give me location (like $A$1) but how do I do this dynamically ?

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Hi,

Welcome to Mr.Excel. Kindly use event handler (SelectionChange for Worksheet).

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D2") = Target.Value * 2
End Sub
