Hi, i need a macro to look in sheet 2 column A and look at the last filled
cell. In the last filled cell i have a number. When i run macro, i need to
generate (in sheet1 A1) the number from the last filled cell +1.

EX:
sheet 2 last filled cell = 29
sheet1 after macro i need to have in A1 = 30

Can this be done?
Thanks!
 
Hi,

Yuo can have a macro if you want but you don't need one, try this

=OFFSET(Sheet2!A1,COUNTA(Sheet2!A:A)-1,0)

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.
 
Hi Mike. I really need a macro.
I am using some macros and i need to use this macro along with the other ones.
But i really don't know how to make this work.
Can you help me with a macro?
Thanks!
 
A macro it is then

Sub Sonic()
Dim LastRow As Long
Set SrcSht = Sheets("Sheet2")
Set DstSht = Sheets("Sheet1")
LastRow = SrcSht.Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
DstSht.Range("A1").Value = SrcSht.Range("A" & LastRow)
End Sub

DstSht.Range("A1").Value = SrcSht.Range("A" & LastRow)
End Sub
Click to expand...

+1 should be added at the end of the last statement like this:

DstSht.Range("A1").Value = SrcSht.Range("A" & LastRow) + 1

Hi Mike, your first formula gives me an error, and the macro retrieves the
last number. I need to display last number +1.
Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks!
 
can you tell me how to do that if you want to increase the value inthe same sheet for cells. for example if A1 =1, then the macro will look into A1 and increase it to 2 and place the value into A2.

Thanks,
 
can you tell me how to increase value in cell A1 in the same sheet and increase it by 1 then place the new value into A2?
thanks
 
Sub addone()
With ActiveSheet.Range("A1")
.Value = .Value + 1
.Offset(0, 1).Value = .Value
End With
End Sub

Alternative.................use a Spinner from the Forms Toolbar.
