    How to insert new text in a cell then pushing down the previous text?

    Hi,
    My solution so far is to copy the previous content of that cell & paste one cell down, then add the new text in that cell.

    Example: I wish to store in Range("AN2").Value, the new action found. The list of all actions get stored into AN2:AN100.
    So first I copy Range("AN2:AN100") then paste it to Range("AN3:AN101"). Then store in AN2 the new text.

    But is there a better way?
    Thanks,

    Is this with vba code? or manual?
    Either way why not just insert a new cell at AN2?

    Why not just insert new cell/row at AN2?

    Yes it works. So simple indeed!

    Strange, I had tried Insert and somehow it had not worked. Now it does ?
    That is in VBA of course.
    Thank you,
    Daniel

    I would go this way.

    You do not need to do anything other than type into AN2
