How do i write a macro to move a range of cells 1 cell to the right. The challenge is that I want to change the range each time I run the macro, so each week I want to move a selection of cells one cell to the right to reflect the latest 4 week average

Hi Tim

If the range of cells you want to move right is in a column that does not interfere with other data the simplest thing to do is create a macro to:

Select a cell in the current data range

Insert a new column. The code is:

Selection.EntireColumn.Insert

Enter a heading for the new data

Hope this helps

Excel tip:

Generate randon numbers

Some types of analysis require you to use randomly generated numbers. You can also use randomly generated numbers to quickly populate an Excel spreadsheet. There's an easy function you can use to do this automatically. Here are a few of the ways you can use it:

Type =RAND() in a cell to generate a number between 0 and 1.
Type =RAND()*100 to generate a number between 1 and 100.
