Question

I have a macro to write, quite simple.

It just pulls numeric values from a Database and pops them into certain cells.

Problem is, I want the layout and design of the worksheet to be able to be changed without a care of the underlying macro. So obviously the cell references will change, for the cells that I need to populate with data.

Is there a way to mark a cell – say with “VALUE1” – in the background, and then reference that cell by using “VALUE1” – without needing to know its exact Cell position? So that its value can be updated – wherever it is on the Work Sheet?

Is there a TAG property or something that could be used? Although a function would have to be written to search through all the TAGs of every cell, but that is OK.

Any ideas?
I think this could be a bonus for any Macro developer 🙂
