Default Example: Generating a Range String from numbers.

This is a coding example of how to make a range string from numbers.

Function RangeString(Row1, Col1, Row2, Col2)
' Return Range String from Arguments.
' No checking for reversed range specs.

RangeString = Nr2Col(Col1) & Row1 & ":" & Nr2Col(Col2) & Row2
End Function

Function Nr2Col(NR)
' Turn NR into Excel Column Designator.
If NR <= 26 Then
Nr2Col = Chr(64 + NR)
Else
Nr1 = Chr(64 + Int(NR / 26))
Nr2 = Chr(65 + NR Mod 26)
Nr2Col = Nr1 & Nr2
End If
End Function

RangeString(1,1,2,5) returns "A1:E2".

Let me know if you find this helpful. Thanks

While your logic and coding are fine, you may find using a built-in
method more efficient:

Public Function RangeString( _
Row1 As Long, Col1 As Long, _
Row2 As Long, Col2 As Long) As Variant
On Error GoTo ErrHandler

RangeString = Range(Cells(Row1, Col1), _
Cells(Row2, Col2)).Address(False, False)

Exit Function
ErrHandler:
RangeString = CVErr(xlErrValue)
End Function

Thanks, JE McGimpsey,

Much more elegant solution, and it handles the incorrect specification
problem as well.

But what is the "Address(False,False)" for?

In your code module, highlight address and hit F1.
