Hi

I've got this sub doing what I want, but is there a more elegant/
professional way?

Sub Interest()
'
    Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Interest"
    ActiveCell.Offset(rowOffset:=-1, columnOffset:=3).Activate
    ActiveCell.Copy
    ActiveCell.Offset(rowOffset:=1, columnOffset:=-1).Activate
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C+RC[-1]*0.1/12"
    ActiveCell.Offset(rowOffset:=1, columnOffset:=-3).Activate
End Sub
