Hi,

I'm looking to create a range that contains all the constant AND
formula cells in a selection. I've tried
'selection.SpecialCells(xlConstants) and
selection.SpecialCells(xlFormulas)' , but that doesn't work because
there may be only one type of cell in the selection - constants or
formulas - and then instead of combining a range with a null set, Excel
throws an error because there are no cells in one of the sets.
It seems there should be an easy way to do this but I haven't found one
online or in any of my books and I'm growing frustrated. Please help if
you have any ideas!

Allison

Maybe you can use this

Sub test()
Dim rng As Range
Dim rng1 As Range
Dim rng2 As Range
Set rng1 = Range("A1:C25").SpecialCells(xlConstants)
Set rng2 = Range("A1:C25").SpecialCells(xlFormulas)
Set rng = Application.Union(rng1, rng2)

rng.Select
End Sub

Hi Allison,

Try something like:

Sub Tester()
Dim Rng1 As Range
Dim Rng2 As Range
Dim rng3 As Range
Dim mySelection As Range

If Selection.Count = 1 Then
Set mySelection = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
Else
Set mySelection = Selection
End If

On Error Resume Next
Set Rng1 = mySelection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
Set Rng2 = mySelection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas)

If Rng1 Is Nothing Then
Set Rng1 = Rng2
ElseIf Rng2 Is Nothing Then
Set Rng2 = Rng1
End If

Err.Clear

On Error Resume Next
Set rng3 = Union(Rng1, Rng2)
If Err.Number < 0 Then
MsgBox "No constants or formulae found!!"
End If

rng3.Select
On Error GoTo 0

End Sub
