Using ColumnNumber in Range syntax
Hi,
If I want to select Column A programmatically then Columns(A:A).select would work. Suppose I have a variable column to select and the counter for this column number is from a FOR loop then how do I use this counter to select that column. For ColumnCounter = 4 to 54 Columns (ColumnCounter & ":" & ColumnCounter).select 'do required stuff 'do required stuff Next ColumnCounter Now when i run the above, I would get an error as within Columns syntax above, ColumnCounter should be a string (from "A" to "IV"). So, how do I Translate/Map Column Numbers in to equivalent column letter/s. Can that be done programmatically? (One way is in my Personal.xls I can build a mapping with column A containing numbers from 1 to 256 and corresponding rows in column B having A to IV and then do a vlookup of ColumnCounter against A1 to B256. But is there a more efficient way?) Thanks a lot, Hari India |

Hi Hari,
Try: Sub Tester05() Dim Columncounter For Columncounter = 4 To 54 With Columns(Columncounter) 'do required stuff 'do required stuff End With Next Columncounter End Sub --- Regards, Norman "Hari Prasadh" wrote in message ...

replace 54 with your integer/long variable. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Hari Prasadh" wrote in message ... Hi, If I want to select Column A programmatically then Columns(A:A).select would work.

Using ColumnNumber in Range syntax
Hi Norman and Tom,
Thanks for your elegant solutions. I would like to know whether "similar shortcuts" could be used with range syntax as well. In Range we have to specify column LETTER and row number and I would like to have the ability to use range syntax within a FOR loop whose counter is the Column number. I know one can use Range(Cells(i,j),Cells(a,b)) but is there any other method. (I did go through Help for Range Collection.

Using ColumnNumber in Range syntax
Hi Norman,
Pressed the send button a little too fast. I wanted to use something similar to Sub Tester06() Dim i As Long For i = 1 To 20 for J = 3 to 40 'do something. e.g.: Range(j & i).Value = i ^ j Next i End Sub I know Cells syntax can be used in the above simple case and for complex cases we can use Range(Cells(i,j),Cells(a,b)). But for complex case I would like to know whether I can do Range(ColumnCounter1 & RowCounter1 & ":" & ColumnCounter2 & RowCounter2) (that is I dont want to use Cells within Range syntax) Am I talking sense?

Using ColumnNumber in Range syntax
Hi Hari,
If numeric counters are being used, why depart from the elegantly, simple Cells method? Sub Tester07() Dim i As Long, j As Long Dim col As Long For i = 1 To 20 For j = 3 To 40 Cells(i, j).Value = i ^ j Next j Next i End Sub --- Regards, Norman "Hari Prasadh" wrote in message ...

Using ColumnNumber in Range syntax
Hi Norman,
Sometimes using cells method to cut/paste etc. fails (I dont know why) but If i change the same to Range(cells(i,j)) the same works fine. Hence wanted to know if I can directly use ColumnCounter within Range. Thanks a lot, Hari India "Norman Jones" wrote in message ...

Hi Hari,
Sometimes using cells method to cut/paste etc. fails I am not aware of this - except, perhaps, where cells references have not been properly qualified. Could you give an example? --- Regards, Norman "Hari Prasadh" wrote in message ...
