I would like the contents of a selected active cell to be displayed in a certain other cell, say R4. When another cell is selected and active, that cell's contents should be displayed.

I have an array of 9 columns and 20 rows with equity symbols and conditionally formatted to show the severity of price movement in either direction.

Instead of typing in the value of whatever cell a trader is looking at I would like for them to just be able to click on the cell and have that symbol copied into R4 so some detailed information can be displayed for them.

Can't find a thing about this on any forum or msdn.

Hope I'm explaining this at least somewhat clearly.

Thanks.
