I'm trying to set a range where the row range is:

"A2:A" & lstRow ' where lstRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

and the columns range is the odd numbered columns in A:BC.

Do I need to use Intersect? I'm stumped!

Thanks in advance!

Do you mean setting a range object?

lstRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = Range("A2:A" & lstRow)

if you mean select it, then

Range("A2:A" & lstRow).Select

Hi,

Try this (Untested!)

Sub SetRange()
lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = Range("a1:a" & lastrow)
For col = 3 To 55 Step 2
Set rng = Union(rng, Range(Cells(1, col), Cells(lastrow, col)))
Next col

End Sub

Thanks Toppers - it works perfectly!

Hi GettingThere,

Try:

'=========================
Public Sub Tester11()
Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Long
Dim col As Range

i = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row


For Each col In Columns("A:BC")

If col.Column Mod 2 = 1 Then

If Not rng Is Nothing Then
Set rng = Union(rng, col.Cells(1).Resize(i))
Else
Set rng = col.Cells(1).Resize(i)
End If
End If

Next col

End Sub
'<,======================

Hi Norman,

For some reason, this always sets the range to the used range in column A.
Any ideas?

Thanks much.

Hi GettingTheree,

Unlike you, I could not produce a scenario in which the procedure would not
work, even using an empty unused worksheet.

As written, the procedure does nothing except to set a range.

Try again with the addition of two final diagnostic lines:

Public Sub Tester11()
Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Long
Dim col As Range

i = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row


For Each col In Columns("A:BC")

If col.Column Mod 2 = 1 Then

If Not rng Is Nothing Then
Set rng = Union(rng, col.Cells(1).Resize(i))
Else
Set rng = col.Cells(1).Resize(i)
End If
End If

Next col

MsgBox rng.Parent.Parent.Name & "(" _
& rng.Parent.Name & ")" _
& vbNewLine & rng.Address

'Or, on the basis that a picture is worth a thousand words:
rng.Interior.ColorIndex = 6

End Sub
'<======================

Hi Norman,

Gosh, I am such a loser! When I went to post your amended code in to a
module, I noticed that I had managed to change on line of your previous to
"For Each col In Columns("A:A")". That explains a lot!

(Don't ask...I don't remember changing it, don't know why I would have. Yet
there it is, staring me right in the face)

It's ironic that you set the interior color index in your second example, as
that is exactly the reason I wanted to set the range!

Thanks for the help!
