Purpose of EntireRow and EntireColumn
 

Excel allows me to do something like
Columns(liColNum).ColumnWidth = cCellWidth

but after much googling I find out to change the font I need to use
something like
Cells(1, liRowNum).EntireColumn.Font.Size = 12

Why on earth is it designed like this.

Purpose of EntireRow and EntireColumn
 

Cells(row,column) is for refering to a single cell

Columns(index) is for refering to a whole column

EntireColumn is a bridge between.

What is illogical about it?

Illogical is using a variable like liRowNum to refer to the column <g

Columns(liRowNum).font.Size = 12

should work fine for an entire column

Cells(1, liRowNum).Font.Size = 12

should work fine for a single cell.

For some reason
Columns(liRowNum).font.Size = 12
wasn't working for me last night. Obviously a syntax error, but it was
appearing to me that I had to use EntireColumn rather than Columns

It was 3 am local time and my concentration going


Columns(liRowNum).font.Size = 12

should work fine for an entire column

Yes it does thanks. Now I just need to set the font to "Courier New".
Hopefully will be OK with that
