Reading Active Cell Value in a For Next Loop

[Ed S.]

The following code works as needed with one problem - RNAME is only loading Values in the first ActiveCell range. The value of RNAME is not changing to reflect the "next cells" value in the For Next loop.

' Range("A1").Select
y = 1
x = 1
' Position to last Column of WorkSheet.
Selection.End(xlToRight).Select
z = ActiveCell.Column

'Select Range.
Range(Cells(x, y), Cells(x, z)).Select

For Each Cell In Selection
RName = ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value
.
. 'Other work here (Need ActiveCell value)
.

Next Cell
(RName is not Changing after next cell???

Add activecell.offset(1,0).select after
RName = ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value
You're not scrolling through the activecell values, only the cells in the selection.

Just adding that line might not work, but it should make you see that the for each ... next statement doesn't actually activate cells. The active cell is the original cell that is active and it's offsetting 1 row everytime and giving you the same name. You need to add a line that will offset the activecell by one every loop. That's what I meant by my first response.

Hope this helps,

Try:

RName = Cell.Value

instead of

RName = ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value

Dave - thanks.

Your second explanation was what I needed. I thought next cell activated the next cell...

Here is the code that now is working...

For Each Cell In Selection
RName = ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value

ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select_ ActiveWorkbook.Names.AddName:=RName,_ RefersToR1C1:="=SalesDetail!C2"

Next Cell

I am building a large Reference Name library based on an import of file. What a time saver...

Thanks again.
