VBA Help

I am writing a VBA program and need some help. I have an excel database that I sometimes nee to change the gross weight on. how ever I need to run it thrugh some math first. So I know the formula (Current gross weight per item on list/Old total gross weight * new total gross weight. my problem is is that I cant use cell numbers because the list of items always changes. And I need the new gross weight to display on other worksheets as well. I not sure how to make the program hold on to the old gross weight when the user is prompted to enter in the new gross weight.

Sounds like you need a variable.

this is just an example. a variable is useful for storing information from either a cell or a result of another function within your code. use integer for small numbers, long for big numbers, string for text, and range for cell references. (to apply a value to those use 'set Range1 = range("a1")')

You should always declare your variables at either the top of the sub for a local variable (it only works within the sub) or at the top of your module (this will work between all subs in a module)

Thank You. Do you think that this should be a function?
