How can I retain data from a formula?

[PaddyG]

I need a solution so that each day I can get a value from a single cell but it appears in a new column each day.

eg, A1 contains a numerical value (based on a formula)
Each day there is a new column, say, Monday = B1, Tuesday = C1 etc.
On Monday B1 takes the value of A1 and 'freezes' the value in B1
On Tuesday C1 takes the value of A1 and 'freezes' the value in C1, but the value in B1 remains as it was when it was originally frozen.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!

Something like this perhaps

Sub test()
Dim LC As Long
LC = Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
With Cells(1, LC)
    .Copy Destination:=.Offset(, 1)
    .Value = .Value
End With
End Sub

Wow- nearly there with this one....it's saving the data and moving along one cell to the right each time, but it's taking the value from the previous cell on the left, whereas I need it to always take the value of A1.

It's probably something very easy to do, but I'm not very good at this....

I'd be grateful for a more of your assistance.

Thanks!

Perhaps this

Sub test()
Dim LC As Long
LC = Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
With Cells(1, LC)
    Cells(1, 1).Copy Destination:=.Offset(, 1)
    .Value = .Value
End With
End Sub

It's returning a value of '0' - I think this is because A1 is referencing another cell to get it's value (ie, A1 "=A7"). However, when I remove the formula and directly type the value into A1 it does work.

Sorry to be a pain!

This seems to work

Sub test()
Dim LC As Long
LC = Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
With Cells(1, LC)
    .Offset(, 1).Formula = Cells(1, 1).Formula
    .Value = .Value
End With
End Sub

Brilliant!!

One final question - how can i amend it so that it pulls the value from a different cell eg B6?

Thanks for all your help!

Try

Sub test()
Dim LC As Long
LC = Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
With Cells(1, LC)
    .Offset(, 1).Formula = Cells(6, 2).Formula
    .Value = .Value
End With
End Sub

Perfect!!

Thank you for your help and very speedy responses!!

Playing with this a bit more - is there any way I can put multiple instances of this in one macro, eg, run the macro and it updates many cells pulling value from many sources.

Ideally I'd like the macro to run once and update multiple cells, rather than having a macro for each cell (row)?

Thanks again!
