putting a value in a formula based on what cell is "clicked" -- Excel 2010
Experts,
I would like to create an Interactive spreadsheet (see attached workbook), where if you click on any "A2 through A8" the value in that field will be used in the compare in H5 where "12345" is currently coded.
Can someone tell me how to do this?

Yes, use this instead...
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, [A2:A8]) Is Nothing Then
Range("H5").Value = Target.Value
End If
End Sub
It is possible with formula as well.
In the cell where you want the specific value use formula:
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(CELL("ro w"),CELL(" col"),1,1) )
initially this will give a Circular Reference but when you enter a value in another cell, on recalculation the cell with the formula will also get that value.
Thanks

Is there a way to put just the value of the selected cell into H5 so I can use it for other things also.
I think I did this before but don't have access to the spreadsheet anymore
The formula then uses the cake in H5.
