Did you ever want to reverse the contents of what is contained in a cell? Using the Reverse macro, you can easily change "My text" to "txet yM." The macro is instructive in techniques to access and modify the contents of a cell.
Sub Reverse() If Not ActiveCell.HasFormula Then sRaw = ActiveCell.Text sNew = "" For J = 1 To Len(sRaw) sNew = Mid(sRaw, J, 1) + sNew Next J ActiveCell.Value = sNew End If End Sub
This macro only affects a single selected cell, and it will not make any changes to a cell that already contains a formula.
