Hi Folks, a newbie here...
I made a Macro that Kenji did here:
It was fun building it until I ran into something annoying - every time after execution the Table would shift one row to the right, which CHANGED the Reference within the Formula (that I wrote in the nearby table)
Please look at the attached pic!
After the Run, the cell E3 has been moved to the right and changed to G3
Why is this happening, after I purposely "told" Excel, to LOCK that particular cell by typing $E$3 (you can see it)
What else do I need to change?
BTW, if you ask me, "Have you tried running the Macro with 'Relative Reference On/Off' - YES, I have!"
Please if anyone here knows how to work around this problem - I would greatly appreciate it! 🙏

It's visible on the pic:

=($G$3*A5)/100
whereas it should be:
=($E$3*A5)/100

...and always $E$3

I don't see where this code is inserting the formula in question. Is it copying an existing formula? What exactly is the code supposed to do?

The code must automate the arranging 1 to 7 names to their weights. The problem is that the additional Sparkline that I’ve included on the Sheet2 and which takes the weight value constantly moves its Referenced Cell to the right (two columns to the right) because after Macros Run, both names and weights occupy two horizontal cells.
I can make a short video and upload it on YuouTube

The Reference Cell must always stay on its place not shifting to the right after Macros Run

If I am not mistaken, your formula is changing because of this:

VBA Code:
Sheets("Mix").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight

It doesn't matter if you use absolute cell reference to lock it, the formula will update the column/row when you insert cells or move the referenced cell.
