Description:

If we want to deal with Cell or Range we can directly mention the object and change its properties or call its methods. We can also deal with Cells or Range by simply selecting it. Then we can use Selection object to refer Selected Cells, Range or any other Objects.

We select cell range in Excel VBA to do particular task with the selection. For example we may want to change the background color of a range and we may want to change the font to Bold. In this case we do not required to loop each and every cell of the range to change the background color and font.

    Hello Sir, I have been going through your website for the past few weeks and it has tremendously helped with some of my codes. Although I have some experience in Access VBA, I have not used Excel VBA that much except to create some macros to help me do my job better. I work in data analysis for a public accounting firm and I find the examples very useful. Do you encourage asking specific questions (short) about vba code? Thanks for the excellent service you are doing for the Excel users community.

    Hi,

    I need your help to select rows from a report(row and column # are not fixed it gets changed frequently since these are filtered). Once we filter accordingly we are left with a range of info. Can u just help me out in this case..

  8. PNRao September 11, 2014 at 8:11 PM

    Hi Girish,

    You can find the last row or column dynamically and use in your code:

    Please refer the below examples:

    Hi,

    I actually tried using the above codes prior asking u this. This however goes till it find a blank row/column. I actually need code the macro such that it checks the filtered data and deletes/copies the entire row. I m not sure how to crack this i m not familiar with loop iteration as well. So need your support on helping me out this.. . Thanks

    Hi,

    I just begin to learn VBA, I tried a code to copy data from specific cells in one workbook to some other workbooks, based on conditions.
    I used simple IF conditions for entire procedure. i need to copy this data every day. so I applied conditions based on date.
    now compiler is saying “Procedure is Too Long” .

    I want to know how to increment the cell with the help of a variable.
    Eg:
    day 1 data copied to E5
    day 2 data copied to E6

    Please suggest me, how to go ahead.

    Thanks
    Rajesh
