Hi guys,

I am stuck in completing this task. It might be very simple but I am not good at VBA so please help.

I want to pass a Range of cells which needs to be given via prompt box into the following formula but I dont know how to do this.

This is the formula I have placed in my Excel sheet cell and I am reffering to this range in many other cells so What i need is that the user selects its range and it is placed it in every cell that contains this list.

=INDEX(LINEST('Regression Input Data'!$N$5:$N$19,'Regression Input Data'!$M$5:$M$19,1,1),5,1)

Would really appriciate your help thanks in advance

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
What might be easier is if you define a named range which you can then include in all the relevant formulas. Then if the definition of this range is altered, all the formulas using it will alter too. Well, they'll still look the same, but give different results.

If you know how to prompt a user for the range and place its address in A1 you can use:

=INDEX(LINEST(INDIRECT(A1),'Regression Input Data'!$M$5:$M$19,1,1),5,1)

I have tried this thing now every thing seems to be working good here but the formula still does not work. WHere could be the error.



Dim InputCells As Excel.Range
Dim OutputCells As Excel.Range
On Error Resume Next
'Show input box to get range of cells that want to copy

Set InputCells = _
Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Block input cells/range", _
Title:="Copy Paste", Type:=8)

Set OutputCells = _
Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Select cell where you want paste it", _
Title:="Copy Paste", Type:=8)

ssr = Application.WorksheetFunction.Index(Application.WorksheetFunction.LinEst(InputCells, outputcelss, 1, 1), 4, 2)
Cells(1, 1).Value = ssr

a = Application.WorksheetFunction.Index(Application.WorksheetFunction.LinEst(InputCells, outputcelss, 1, 1), 2, 2)
Cells(2, 1).Value = a

There's a typo here:

ssr = Application.WorksheetFunction.Index(Application.WorksheetFunction.LinEst(InputCells, outputcelss, 1, 1), 4, 2)

To avoid such errors you should put Option Explicit at the top of your module.
