Selecting all cells in a column between two cells
Hi,
I have two cells (we'll call them: Apple & Banana) in a column (for the sake of this we'll call it column D, but it will in fact be varying columns)... The cell points at which Apple and Banana lay vary and at all times the number of cells between Apple and Banana also vary.... However, they are always in the same column together. At all times the cells in the column between both items are blank. What I want to do it to put the curser on Banana (the bottom cell item) and for a piece of code to select Banana and every cell in the column above it up to and including Apple. I then want to process the formula that is inside of the Apple cell (the topmost cell)so that it applies to all cells between it and Banana and also Banana. I have asked this question already but I don't think I did it clearly enough and its getting on in time and I thought that I'd best try to ask it again - Hopefully a little clearer this time. I'm new at VBA coding but I'm trying to learn because I see the pluses that it holds in my work environment....So please be patient. I know that this is a seperate question but with the apple and banana cells, is there a piece of simple code that will work out the numerical positional difference between the two and give me a value. ie. If Apple is a D10 and Banana is at D15 it will give me a value of 5? Thus I'm then able to code the difference a put a place marker at column C half way between the two values in column D.... Regards, |

Selecting all cells in a column between two cells
Hi Don,
Ok example Column D: D3:Apple D4 D5 D6 D7: Banana I want to select everything from Banana up to Apple....as I'm on Banana to start with.

Selecting all cells in a column between two cells
This should do it -- change Apple and Bananna to what you need it to be
Sub fill() Range("d1").Select Lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 4).End(xlUp).Row Do Until ActiveCell.Row = Lastrow If ActiveCell.Value = "Apple" Then v1 = ActiveCell.Address Exit Do Else ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate End If Loop Range("d1").Select Do Until ActiveCell.Row = Lastrow If ActiveCell.Value = "Bananna" Then v2 = ActiveCell.Address Exit Do Else ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate End If Loop v3 = v1 & ":" & v2 Range(v3).Select Selection.FillDown End Sub "Darren Ingram" wrote: Hi, I have two cells (we'll call them: Apple & Banana) in a column (for the sake of this we'll call it column D, but it will in fact be varying columns)...

Selecting all cells in a column between two cells
Hi dmoney,
I'm receiving a global error in your code at this point: Range(v3).Select Any thoughts? Also in your code where you've put the "apple" and "banana" what do I put? As I can't really put any specific cell reference as it changes from situation to situation....The column stays the same but the cell row is always different. Sometimes its D10 sometimes D44, D59,D432....etc. Sorry for my ignorance but I'm learning and very junior at this.

Selecting all cells in a column between two cells
Lars,
Thanks for the code but how does the "apple or banana" row number get calculated when it changes from situation to situation? One week it might be D10 another week it might be Dxxx....(whatever). How does the code identify that the curser goes up until it reaches the next filled cell in column D? When I code the words apple or banana in my code what do I put in their place. Or are these names just generic and only apply to the bottom point and top point in the column that I'm running the script on? Sorry for my questions....I'm very new at this and I'm trying to understand my coding rather that just typing what people write out of ignorance.

Well of course you have to identify your apple and banana cells somehow... Either you *know* where they are (because of an active selection, or something else), or you have to locate them, using the Find statement, for example: Set rangeApple = ws.Cells.Find("apple", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext) Set rangeBanana = ws.Cells.Find("banana", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext) Alternatively to ws.Cells you can use ws.Columns(yourColumnIndex) if you know which column you are searching in. And the row number does not get calculated, it's a property of a cell represented in a range - row, column, value and all the other properties are directly linked in Excel's memory, otherwise Excel wouldn't know where to store & display a value :) D10 another week it might be Dxxx....(whatever). How does the code identify that the curser goes up until it reaches the next filled cell in column D? It doesn't - you stated in your original post that: At all times the cells in the column between both items are blank. So I showed you how - given you have the 2 cells apple and banana (in a range item, for example) - to apply the formula to all the cells between apple and banana *and* the banana cell. You need to forget about the "cursor" (selection). When you start using that, you're only going to get in trouble (selection and cursor position can change with an accidental mouseclick during script execution). Better to use variables like worksheet and range objects. You do not need a cursor "movement" at all here - the statement Range (Cells (row1, column), Cells (row2, column)) returns a collection (similar to an array) of *all* the cells in column between and including row1 and row2. By modifying the property of such a range, you modify ALL cells in that range. Much like selecting a big range manually and pasting some value from clipboard. When I code the words apple or banana in my code what do I put in their place. Or are these names just generic and only apply to the bottom point and top point in the column that I'm running the script on? They apply to a range that only contains your apple, respectively banana cell. Which you *could* initialize like I suggested above - but if you know where they are, don't search for them ;) Only makes your script slower. Hope I cleared things up a bit.. Regards, Lars |
