Hello!
The code below is missing a very important step: I'm trying to multiply a range of values on the activesheet by 1 based on the users selection. So, if I were to go to the activesheet, highlight the cells, and then run the macro, the selected cells would multiply by -1. Any guidance on what I missed would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!


Sub macrotest()

Dim selectrange As Range
Set selectrange = Selection

selectrange = ActiveCell.Value
For Each cell In selectrange
selectrange = selectrange * -1
Next cell

End Sub

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
that would be like this

For Each cell In selectrange
cell = cell * -1
Next cell

Sub macrotest()
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Selection
    c.Value = -c.Value
Next c
End Sub
