title: Excel: Increment Counter Button of Relative Cell
body: <p>In Excel, I want to have a button to click that will increment the value of a cell.</p>
  
  <p>However, rather than increment an absolutely referenced cell, I want to increment the value of a cell relative to the button location.</p>
  
  <p>This is the type of code I am working with so far, however the key question of finding the event object location is proving difficult...</p>
  
  <pre><code>Sub increment_value()
  this.Offset(0, -2).Value = this.Offset(0, -2).Value + 1
  End Sub
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is what I want it to do (example only -> button in D5 increment B5 by 1. <em>Relative</em> is the key though!):</p>

  <p>Sub thought: Is there an Excel equivalent to the Javascript keyword: <code>this</code>?</p>
