Number of columns:
Range("DRP").Columns.Count

Nuber of rows:
Range("DRP").Rows.Count

Hi
Range("DRP").Rows.Count
Range("DRP").Columns.Count

If you give the range a name and declare it as a range variable
Dim myRange as Range
Set myRange = Range("DRP")

then you will get the drop down menus for the range objects properties
and methods as you type.

Paul

A named range is just a string that represents the range. So:

Sub rover()
MsgBox (Range("Nigel").Count)
MsgBox (Range("Nigel").Address)
MsgBox (Range("Nigel").Rows.Count)
MsgBox (Range("Nigel").Columns.Count)
End Sub

Will tell you how many cells are in the range, it over-all dimensions and
the number of rows and columns.

Have a pleasant day!

Try this one


Sub Macro1()
For Each Column In ActiveSheet.Range("DRP").Columns
x = x + 1
Next
For Each Row In ActiveSheet.Range("DRP").Rows
y = y + 1
Next
MsgBox "There are " & x & " Columns and " & y & " Rows"
End Sub

=ROWS(DRP)
=COLUMNS(DRP)
