Inserting values into a cell is done quite often in macros. In order to insert information into a cell, you use the Value property. For instance, you could use the following to insert a number (23) into cell A1:
Cells(1, 1).Value = 23
For entering information in a cell, the Value property is applicable to any object that resolves to a range. Thus, you could use the following to place a text value ("Address") into the cell at C4:
Range("C4").Value = "Address"

Value is the default property of a Range object, so the Tip's examples can be coded like this:
Cells(1, 1) = 23
Range("C4") = "Address"
Got a version of Excel that uses the ribbon interface (Excel 2007 or later)? This site is for you! If you use an earlier version of Excel, visit our ExcelTips site focusing on the menu interface.
