Further to my post I have modified my code using offset, however I'm having trouble inserting the formula to calculate interest:
Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Interest" ActiveCell.Offset(rowOffset:=0, columnOffset:=2).Activate ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1],C[1]*0.1/12" --problem here - formula given =3:3,E:E*0.1/12 ActiveCell.Offset(rowOffset:=2, columnOffset:=-3).Activate Thanks for any assistance.
