I'm trying to write a macro for formatting a .txt file into an Excel
spreadsheet. It's different everymonth. I can get all the keystrokes recorded
correctly except for the following:

Let's say a portion of the macro takes me to cell A1681, I would then like
to highlight that row and all the rows above it (Ctrl+Shift+Home). However,
it only references the count of rows between that and row 1, which will vary
each time. Is there a code for this. Also, the opposite, if I'd rather
highlight row A1681 and all the rows to the bottom of the spreadsheet.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Have you tried Selection.CurrentRegion.Select

it's the VBA equivalent of Ctrl + Shift + * or Ctrl + (Num Pad) *

This seems to highlight cells above and below. I only want to either (1)
highlight everything below the current cell position or (2) highlight
everything above the current cell position. Thanks.

Hi Corey:

Let's say you have selected any cell. Then

Sub m2t()
Dim i As Range
Dim j As Range
Set j = Cells(1, 1)
Set i = Selection
Range(i, j).EntireRow.Select
End Sub

Will select everything thru your selection to row #1.

if you use Cells(65536,1) you will get the other sector.
