Sheets(“sheet_1”).ActiveCell.Offset(0, i + 1).Range(“A1”).Value 的正确语法是什么

Question

What is the correct syntax for telling VBA

"consider the value in sheet_1 in the cell that has offset (0,i) from the activecell"?

I tried with

Sheets("sheet_1").ActiveCell.Offset(0, i).Range("A1").Value

but it gives me

runtime error 438

Please note that my aim is to do:

If Sheets("sheet_1").ActiveCell.Offset(0, i).Range("A1").Value = Sheets("sheet_23").ActiveCell.Offset(0, i).Range("A1").Value Then

'do something

Answer 1

The ActiveCell is only the single active cell in whichever sheet is active at the time the code is run. It cannot refer to a cell on an inactive sheet. Another sheet must be activated first.

Of course you can use the Address property of an activecell and refer to the corresponding cell on an inactive sheet.

In general, it is recommended not to use activecell or selection .
