selecting adjacent cells
Hi, new(ish) to excel and to this site (but have searched previous posts for help regularly). Anyway, how do I select a cell, and then when hitting a button, automatically select the next 2 cells in the row for pasting. I am okay with the button, recording macros etc, but when I try to do that, it just shows select range in the VBA. What I need (I think!) is to know how to extend selection by 2 cells. The reason is so a selection is only one click and not several... Hope this is clear! Many thanks, Mark -- wfcmark
