I want to record a macro that helps me cycle through a list in column A. I thought I could start with a cell d5.... record a macro =a1 and then =a2 then clicking back into a1 and stopping the recording and it would be set to continue the pattern down the column, but I am not correct. Can anyone tell help me to accomplish this? Thank-you 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.
Use a for... next loop to go thru the column

Code:
'this will find the last row in column A that has something in it
LastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(ActiveSheet.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

'this will loop thru all the cells in the column that have something in it.
For i = 5 To LastRow
      'Use "Cells(i, 1)" instead of "Range("A1")" for whatever the recorded macro 
      'does in that cell and each time it loops, it will increment i.
Next

What exactly are you trying to achieve? That is, what is the result that you are trying to produce?

I would like to look at a record, click on an inserted button that is assigned to a macro, and have that macro advance the record one row down.

I see the above code posted by portews and just haven't been able to paste it into vba and get it to work for me.

If anyone is aware of a step by step youtube on the subject and would be so kind as to post the link I would very much appreciate it.
