Hello I dont understand for next, im trying to work with a series of
variable all of which increment by a certain number every interation.

what im trying to do
----------------------------
make a string consisting of the the contents of the 6th, 7th, 9th,
35th, 37th, 38th, 40th, 41st and 42nd columns or multiples of these
columns. Repeat this extraction until the end of the row is reached.

This is my code that doesn't work - can someone offer a fixed version
please.

Dim concat As String

For i = 6 To 6000 Step 6
For j = 7 To 6000 Step 7
For k = 9 To 6000 Step 9
For l = 35 To 6000 Step 35
For m = 37 To 6000 Step 37
For n = 38 To 6000 Step 38
For o = 40 To 6000 Step 40
For p = 41 To 6000 Step 41
For q = 42 To 6000 Step 42

concat = concat & Cells(2, i) & " " & Cells(2, j) & " " & Cells(2,
k) & " " & Cells(2, l) & " " & Cells(2, m) & " " _
& Cells(2, n) & " " & Cells(2, o) & " " & Cells(2, p) & " " &
Cells(2, q)


Next i
Next j
Next k
Next l
Next m
Next n
Next o
Next p
Next q

ActiveCell = makes

End Sub

T I A,

The root of your problem is the For....Next structure. You need to reverse
the order of the 'Next. statements.

i.e.
For i = 6 To 6000 Step 6
For j = 7 To 6000 Step 7
For k = 9 To 6000 Step 9
For l = 35 To 6000 Step 35
For m = 37 To 6000 Step 37
For n = 38 To 6000 Step 38
For o = 40 To 6000 Step 40
For p = 41 To 6000 Step 41
For q = 42 To 6000 Step 42

concat = concat & Cells(2, i) & " " & Cells(2, j) & " " _
& Cells(2, k) & " " & Cells(2, l) & " " & Cells(2, m) & " " _
& Cells(2, n) & " " & Cells(2, o) & " " & Cells(2, p) _
& " " & Cells(2, q)

Next q
Next p
Next o
Next n
Next m
Next l
Next k
Next j
Next i

However, I am sure sure just what you want to accomplish here. An Excel
workbook does not have 6000 columns available, less than 300 actually.Also,
your string "concat" is going to grow very large.

Can you be more precise as to what you want to do?

Hello Gary!
The is that the Next instruction must be first for the inner nested next.
So the order should be
Next q
Next p
Next n
Next m
and so on.
