Requirement:
The point of this code is to insert column B, copy the header from the first cell on the left into B1 and then insert "SJ-" followed by the value in the cell to the left (A2) in B2 down to the bottom of the data.
Sub test() Dim LastRow As Long LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row Range("B1").EntireColumn.Insert Range("B1").FillRight Range("B2:B" & LastRow).FormulaR1C1 = "SJ-" & Cells(2, 1) End Sub
The problem is that every cell contains "SJ-" and the value of A2 so the question is, how to make Cells(2, 1) relative so that it always using the value to the left of the cell?
