Absolute Reference

  Asked By: Fujita    Date: Nov 05    Category: MS Office    Views: 630
  

Could somebody explain how to change relative reference to absolute. Below is
a macro recorded today. I would like to see the reference as B8 or C9 etc
rather than R1C1


Sub Macro2()
'
' Macro2 Macro
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+l
'
Range("B2:E2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='MAIN PAGE'!R[8]C2"
Range("B3:E3").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='MAIN PAGE'!R[7]C3"
Range("B4:E4").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='MAIN PAGE'!R[6]C4"
Range("I2:K2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='MAIN PAGE'!R[8]C6"
Range("O2:Q2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='MAIN PAGE'!R[8]C7"
Range("O3:Q3").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='MAIN PAGE'!R[7]C8"
Range("O4:Q4").Select
End Sub

The issue is in the R[8]C2 value.
the "[8]" implies a relative  distance of 8 cells to the right.
to make it absolute, remove the brackets.
(change it "'MAIN PAGE'!R8C2", etc)
