OK Here it is.
I've added a few extra bits to suit my needs but I've left them in so as to be sure that what I have posted works.
The first routine selects a date, copies and pastes it to a cell in the sheet called Trade Calculator.
The next section copies a value from Data Input to the first empty cell in a column in Trade Calculator.
The next section does the same thing for another value to a different cell.
The next bit resets the date in the first routine back to today's date using the @NOW() function
The last bit confirms that everything worked ok.
Hope you find this useful,
Les

Hi
Super! but it would be nice to write the macro that you have found here because it could be useful to someone else.
Thank you in advance.
