Select A1:A5 and A10:A15 and see if selection.areas.count does what you
want.

Maybe instead of:

if ActiveCell.Column =1 and selection.columns.count=1 Then

This...

if activecell.column = 1 _
and intersect(selection.entirecolumn,rows(1)).cells.co unt = 1 then

This would allow you to select A1:A10 and A21:A30, too.

======
I'm not sure what you want, but maybe you could just use the stuff in
column A
after you extend the selection to be the complete row. Selecting
B23:G39
would
result in a range of A23:A39.

dim myRng as range
set myrng = intersect(selection.entirerow,range("a:a"))

But that kind of thing depends on what you're really doing.

Selection.columns.count will work if the selection is one
contiguous
range. But
will fail if the selection is multiple discontiguous areas.

Range("a1:a10,c1:c10,e1:e10").Select
MsgBox Selection.Columns.Count

One way around it:

Range("a1:a10,c1:c10,e1:e10").Select
MsgBox Intersect(Selection.EntireColumn, Rows(1)).Cells.Count

Hi,


In excel VBA code, I have:

If ActiveCell.Column =1 Then
Msg "It is Column A Only"
Else
Msg "It is NOT Column A"
End If


But How can I check if the selection is actually More than
Column
A.
Example: When user select cell in column A (A11) and cell in
column B
(B11),
if use above code, it will still prompt "It is Column A Only".
I
want
to
avoid that because B11 is included.

I think I should have something like:

If ActiveCell.Column =1 Then
' Check if there is other column included
If there is other column than column A included
Msg "Warning, it's NOT only Column A"
Else
Msg "It is Column A Only"
End If
Else
Msg "It is NOT Column A"
End If

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Hi Dave,

You have your point here. If that the case, how can I improve the
below
statement ?

" if ActiveCell.Column =1 and selection.columns.count=1 Then"

Magix

Thanks again. I think it should be "Selection.Areas.count = 1" instead

Hi Dave, the code :

"If ActiveCell.Column = 1 And Selection.Columns.Count = 1 And
Selection.Areas.Count = 1 Then"

works fine as well as your new code in my other posting. But I got one bug.

Let say my code in the macro button is like this:
If ActiveCell.Column = 1 And Selection.Columns.Count = 1 And
Selection.Areas.Count = 1 Then
MsgBox " Test 111"
else
MsgBox "Test 555"

Then in Column A, let say if I select cell A2, then press CTRL, then select
A5, and then press the macro button, it will prompt me Test 555, instead of
Test 111. That's the bug.

Meaning that if select multiple discontiguous areas in Column A only, it
will return false for the IF statement:
"If ActiveCell.Column = 1 And Selection.Columns.Count = 1 And
Selection.Areas.Count = 1 "

How can I fix that ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.
