Showing selected cell value

Is there a way I can show in one cell the value of whatever cell is selected?

Hi Misssy

You can use the SelectionChange event

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Range("A1").Value = Target.Value
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Me.Range("H1").Value = Target.Value
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

In the sheet module, say you want the value to be displayed in cell A1:
'----------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
With Range("A1")
.Value = ActiveCell.Value
.NumberFormat = ActiveCell.NumberFormat
End With
End Sub
'---------------------------------------------------
