Absurd... Even I get the same Error, When see the actual code by editing the macro I
could see that the macro moves to Actual cursor to A2 and A1, (Which I understand is how
it interpreted the Up-Arrow) and then writes the formula "=A2+A1" in Cell A1...
Which I why the error message comes in A1.
I'm not sure what to say more on this... I feel the Quality of Macro Recorder
is very poor... It has somehow distinguish that user is editing the formula of
a cell and not moving the Actual cursor.

Subject: problem writing a simple macro
In a spreadsheet,
A1 = 1
A2 = 2
Starting in A3, when doing with keystrokes
+
arrow up (going to A2)
+
arrow up (going to A1)
Enter
I obtain 3 in A3
When recording the macro the same way, I also obtain 3 in A3; great !!
But when executing the macro, I obtain a message error 523 in A1.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks

I played around with the macro recorder, and I obtained the same error
when using the arrow keys. However, when I just typed in the commands
in the following manner, it worked:
1. Select record macro.
2. Type =
3. Type A1
4. Type +
5. Type A2
6. Type Enter
7. Select Stop Recording
8. Save the macro.
Now, select a cell and run the macro. You'll get 3 in the selected cell.
For some reason the macro recorder doesn't seem to like the arrow keys.
I hope this helps.
