Select excel row and insert formula

Hello,

I am currently working on an Excel sheet where I want to enter a row number into a cell, and on the click of a button, excel will locate the row and then run a macro to update a cell.

May I know the behind code for this or any examples to get me started?

Update:
When a user clicks on a cell in a range, the whole row of the table will be selected, and on button click (linked to macro UpdateFormula) will be run to insert the .Formula into the cells.

VB

Sub UpdateFormula()
Range(Cells(Selection.Row, 18), Cells(Selection.Row, 24)).Select
Range("anchor_variable").Formula = "=Anchor1"
Range("table_variable").Formula = "=base_point+short_end_increment*(base_year-R$15)"
End Sub

The code enables me to insert the formula into the whole table but not into the cells that I have selected specifically.

What I want is to insert the formula only to the row that I am clicking on

Thank You :)

What have you tried? Where are you stuck?
You did not specify what kind of issue do you have. I'd suggest to update question (use "Improve question" widget). At this moment this is not a question, it's a code request.

Solution 2

Use Worksheet.SelectionChange event[^], for example:

VB

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) 
    With Target
        .Range("anchor_variable").Formula = "=Anchor1"
        .Range("table_variable").Formula = "=base_point+short_end_increment*(base_year-R$15)"
    End With
End Sub
