Hello All,

I have an excel workbook which has some fields set as the £ currency format.
I would like to be able to programatically loop through all active cells in
each worksheet - check to see if the format is pounds and then change them
to say ? or $ if required. I know how to do everything except for looping
through the cells.

Is there any way of getting the Active Cell range for a worksheet?

The only way i can do it at the moment is loop through all cells (which
would take a LONG time) or loop through a set number of cells that i
specify - the only problem with doing this is if a user was to insert more
rows and the rows go outside the set range then these cells are not updated.
I am sure i am missing something so simple...

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Neil.

Hi Neil

by ACTIVE CELL RANGE do you mean the currently selected cells?

if so then you can do the following

For Each cell In Selection
'do whatever
Next

Thanks for you replies, it was UsedRange that i needed to use and it works
great (Cheers for that Tom).
