Sum squares

[TheAaron]

Hi!
I want to make a code in vba in wich the user selects a range of only one row and as many columns as he wants.
In the range the user selects, the code must sum the square of the first number, then the third, the fifth and so on (2 by 2)...
The result of this code has to appear exactly below the end of the range the user selected.
The code so far:

Sub Range()
Set MyRange = Application.InputBox("Set Range", Type:=8)
MyRange.Select
ActiveCell.Offset(MiRango.Count, -1) = "Sum"
n = ActiveCell.CurrentRegion.Rows.Count
End Sub

Thanks!

You can sumproduct the range with itself, and use the macro recorder to get the result into a code.

Or you can see if this is what you want ....

Sub SumSquareOfOddCells()
Dim R As Range, S As Double
On Error Resume Next
Set R = Application.InputBox("Select range", Type:=8)
On Error GoTo 0
If R Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
For i = 1 To R.Count Step 2
       If WorksheetFunction.IsNumber(R.Cells(1, i)) Then
              S = S + R.Cells(1, i) ^ 2
       End If
Next i
R.Cells(1, R.Cells.Count).Offset(1, 0).Value = S
End Sub

never mind

That's not what I want, for example:

1
3
2
4
3
=14

I need to sum the square 1, 2 and the last 3 in this case.
But this code has to work on any given amount of numbers

Excel 2010
	B	C	D	E	F
1	16	4	121	49	81
2	4	2	11	7	9
3
4	218
Sheet22

Cell Formulas
Range	Formula
B4	=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(COLUMN(B2:F2),2)=0),B2:F2,B2:F2)

Is the formula I would write. But JoeMo's code works too, what result are you getting?

The resulting code:

Sub Rango()

Set MiRango = Application.InputBox("Dime el rango", Type:=8)
MiRango.Select
ActiveCell.Offset(MiRango.Count, -1) = "Sumas"
n = MiRango.Count

For q = 1 To n Step 2
x = x + MiRango.Cells(q, 1) ^ 2
Next q

MiRango.Select
ActiveCell.Select
ActiveCell.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value = x
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Value = "Sumas"

End Sub

Thanks!

The resulting code:

Sub Rango()

Set MiRango = Application.InputBox("Dime el rango", Type:=8)
MiRango.Select
ActiveCell.Offset(MiRango.Count, -1) = "Sumas"
n = MiRango.Count

For q = 1 To n Step 2
x = x + MiRango.Cells(q, 1) ^ 2
Next q

MiRango.Select
ActiveCell.Select
ActiveCell.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value = x
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Value = "Sumas"

End Sub

Thanks!

Your initial post stated: "the user selects a range of only one row and as many columns as he wants.", but your code looks like it's set up for the user to select rows in a single column. Why the change?

Sorry, I meant one column and as many rows.
