Selecting Columns
 

Hi all!

I am trying to run a program which would allow me to do the following:

I have a number that is put in Cell J2 by me or any other user. That
number denotes the number of columns away from column K that I need to
start deleting from; I will delete from there all the way up to column
AC. So, fo rexample, I have the number 5 in cell J2. This would mean I
need to start deleting from column P all the way to column AC. If the
number is 3 in J2, then I would delete from column M to column AC. I
don't know the method to select the columns based on the number. So
far I have:

NumColumn = Range("J2")
Range("K2").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0,NumColumn)

From this point on, I don't know how to select the column I'm in after
the offset all the way to column AC. If someone can help with this, I
would be forever grateful!

Thanks in advance!

I'm sure you will get other answers more directly related to using offset;
I'd do something like the following (just because it is what I know):

NumColumn = Range("J2")
CharColumn =(Asc(UCase(NumColumn )) - 64)
Columns(CharColumn & ":AC").Select

This is aircode, so it may need some tweaking... and it will only work up to
a start column of Z; after that the CharColumn will give you ascii characters
above Z (it won't automatically wrap back around to column 'AA').

HTH,
