Button to add contents of A1 to B1, then return A1 to zero

El Gallo · Dec 2nd 2016

I have created a button that will increase A1 by one each time it's clicked. I'd like another button that will add whatever total that is in A1 to B1, then return A1 to zero. I am just discovering vb...

Thanks for your time.

Attach this to a button

Code

Option Explicit




Sub AddandZero()
Range("B1").Value = Range("B1") + Range("A1")
Range("A1").ClearContents
End Sub

Thanks Alan, but for whatever reason I had to delete the <AddandZero()> to make it work. Otherwise nothing happened. Also, I realized that I don't actually want A1 to return to zero but to return to the formula that was actually in A1, ie =SUM(A2). Is this possible?

Thanks.

El Gallo,

Try something like this:

Code

Sub Test()
    Range("B1").Value = Range("B1") + Range("A1")
    Range("A1") = "=SUM(A2)"
End Sub
