Hi,
An ex employee created this spreadsheet with Macros and I have updated and added additional line entries. I have been able to fix a few issues, however I have one cell that continues to change incorrectly.
The Macros enable to change the range of cells J3:J56.
Example, the text PSTP1400 in cell J3, using Ctrl+M changes the text to PSTP1400A. Then using Ctrl +N takes it back to the original text PSTP1400.
When using Ctrl+M cell J56 which contains returns the same result as cell J55. Then using Ctrl+N cell J56 returns the same result as cell J55.

Sub Marine_Grade()
'
' Marine_Grade Macro
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+m
'
Range("J3").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='Post Codes'!R[-2]C[-9] &""A"""
Range("J3").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("J3:J58"), Type:=xlFillDefault
Range("J3:J58").Select
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=6
Range("J56").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='Post Codes'!R[-3]C[-9] &""A"""
Range("J58").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "PSTP3100A-Q"
Range("J56").Select
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-12
Range("J3").Select
End Sub
Sub Normal_Posts()
'
' Normal_Posts Macro
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+n
'
Range("J3").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='Post Codes'!R[-2]C[-9] &"""""
Range("J3").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("J3:J58"), Type:=xlFillDefault
Range("J3:J58").Select
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=18
Range("J56").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='Post Codes'!R[-3]C[-9] &"""""
Range("J58").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "PSTP3100-Q"
Range("J56").Select
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-21
Range("J3").Select
End Sub

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Looks like your added lines may have changed the math for the original Macros since they are coded in absolutes. A solution would be very hard without the data and intent.

It kinda looks like your ex employee just hit the Record Macro button and manually performed a task. All the cells were always the same.

Agree, I think he also used the recording. It's just not making sense, why only one cell J56 is returning the information from Cell J55, and all other cells work correctly.

Yeah. I would actually have to see the file before it was changed. I can see that the formula in J55 refers to cell A53 which doesn't have any data in it which is why it does work.

Unless I'm looking at only one of multiple sheets.

cell J55 has formula (='Post Codes'!A53 &"") which comes from another tab. See attached.
