Use macro to paste new info into a cell location found by another formula

[Dayne]

Howdy I have a parts list that I have built a search page for. I need the parts list locked out accept for the Qty needs changed from the search page. I can find it, display it, display the location and hyperlink to it. I can also of course calculate the new amount but I need it to change the amount. I can make a macro that will paste info into a know location but the location will change with the search so I need it to paste to the location found in a cell or find the location and then paste it. Please can you help.

I'm assuming that these are two separate worksheets, Search and PartsList. Cell D2 of the Search sheet tells you that 1 needs to be removed, and cell F2 of the Search sheet tells you that it needs to be removed from the existing value of $E$6 of the PartsList sheet.

Search sheet:

	A	B	C	D	E	F
1	search results	QTY
2	Part# 1234	4	Removing	1	Remove from	$E$6

<tbody>
</tbody>

PartsList sheet:

​

	A	B	C	D	E	F
6	Part# 1234​			Current Qty​ <strike></strike>	4
7

<tbody>
</tbody>

​

If so, try this:

Sheets("PartsList").Range(Sheets("Search").Range("F2").Value).Value = Sheets("PartsList").Range(Sheets("Search").Range("F2").Value).Value - Sheets("Search").Range("D2").Value
​

This will deduct the value of Search sheet cell D2 from the value of whichever cell on the PartsList sheet is contained in cell F2 of the Search sheet.

Thank you I think I was entering something wrong with the exact code I was trying to copy from you because it was saying script out of range but when I used the Sheets("PartsList").Range(Sheets("Search").Range("D3").Value).Value= out of the code to paste to the location in that cell it worked perfect
