I have this little line of code:

Code:
Selection.Offset(-1, 0).Select

Now the -1 here needs to be variable, it could be either -1 or -2. I have a cell whose value determines that.

How do I implement that into the code?
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Is the cell that holds this value always the same cell?

Set the variable in the code like this:

Code:
Dim x As Long

x = Range("A1").Value ' Change A1 to whatever the cell is that you want to reference

' Now you can reference the value from A1 where ever you need to

Selection.Offset(x,0).Select
