If you need to select the first cell in a row from within your macro, you can do it with the Select method, as follows:
Cells(ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Row, 1).Select
Once executed, the selected cell becomes the first cell (in column A) of the current row. If you run this line while a range of cells is selected, then the cell in column A of the first row of the selection is selected.
