EXCEL VBA CODE SNIPPETS

IN IMMEDIATE WINDW

? Range("C2:B5").Address

THE RANGE OBJECT

Range("C2:B5").Select

Range("C2:B5").Interior.ColorIndex = 4 (green)

Range("C:C").Select --> select entire column <C>

Range("2:5").Select --> select rows 2 to 5

Range("B2:C5:D1").Select --> select col B to D from row 1 to 5

Range("B2:C5 B5:D6").Select --> select intersection of 2 rectangular blocks (Space = Intersection)

Range("A1:B1,A3:B3").Select --> select 2 discontiguous blocks (Comma = Union)

Union(Range("A1"),Range("B2"),Range("C5")) -->$A$1,$B$2,$C$5

this is the same as: Range(Range("A1","B2").Address & ", C5")

Range("A1","B3") --> produces a single block ($A$1:$B$3)

Range("A1,B3") --> produces 2 separate blocks ($A$1,$B$3)

Range(someCell).Font.Underline = xlDouble

'To name cell B3 in Sheet1 as MyCelB3
