I am trying to utlize the recording feature to learn about the code that controls excel via taking an action and then reviewing the code that is recorded.

Recently I was able to get the following code to work:

Sheets("GEN INCENTIVE").Select
Range("AV1").Select
Columns("AV:AV").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight
Range("AV2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[-1]/100"
Range("AV2").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("AV2:AV268").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Selection.Style = "Percent"
Selection.Copy
Range("AU2").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Selection.Style = "Percent"

I was concerned that the bolded text would prevent the code from being executed if a new data sheet was used that had more than 267 rows, I wanted the selection to go all the way down to the end of the data hop right and then copy and paste that formula across that range.

The advice I got was to name my worksheets with something like this:

Dim GenIncentive As Worksheet

Set GenWS = Worksheet("GEN INCENTIVE")

What exactly does this do in terms of the code listed above, do I need to reference GenWS every time there is a line? What is the point of esatlbishing those variables.

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
How about
VBA Code:
Sub JackJr()
   With Sheets("GEN INCENTIVE")
      .Columns("AV").Insert Shift:=xlToRight
      With .Range("AV2", .Range("AU" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
         .FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[-1]/100"
         .Style = "Percent"
         .Value = .Value
      End With
   End With
End Sub
