I have a worksheet, A1:CB200.
In my worksheet I would like to swap numbers between cells, is it possible to do it automatically? Can Excel do it in one click?
For example in my work sheet in row 3 in column B, I have a number 79 with a reference: =ABS(CA2) and i would like to swap this number/cell with number 51 that is in row 3, column AO and has a reference =ABS(AY2).
The reference here is irrelevant because I want to swap many numbers between cells.
I just want to know if it is possible to do it in pairs by selecting two numbers at a time and swaping them without doing it manually one by one.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
John

Copy PDF to Excel
Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
Create a VBA userform to collect the addresses of the cells to be switched. Then, use a temporary variable to do the exchange.

If a1 and a2 are the addresses, the exchange code could be something like:
temp = range(a1)
range(a1) = range(a2)
range(a2) = temp

You could also do this without the userform. Just use 2 different inputboxes to collect the address to be exchanged.
