Thanks,

The problem you have is your final .Select is a method that performs an
action and cannot assign an action to a variable.

FinalColumn = Range("A1").End(xlToRight).Column

I wish you had posted a larger bit of your code because it looks like you
may be selecting cells before operating on them... this is usually
unnecessary and inefficient to do. Perhaps this previous posting of mine (a
response to another person using Select/Selection type constructions) will
be of some help to you...

Whenever you see code constructed like this...

Range("A1").Select
Selection.<whatever

you can almost always do this instead...

Range("A1").<whatever

In your particular case, you have this...

Range("C2:C8193").Select 'select cells to export
For Each r In Selection.Rows

which, using the above concept, can be reduced to this...

For Each r In Range("C2:C8193").Rows

Notice, all I have done is replace Selection with the range you Select(ed)
in the previous statement and eliminate the process of doing any
Select(ion)s. Stated another way, the Selection produced from
Range(...).Select is a range and, of course, Range(...) is a range... and,
in fact, they are the same range, so it doesn't matter which one you use.
The added benefit of not selecting ranges first is your active cell does not
change.

...
I want to dynamically create ranges beginning in Row 1 but I am having
trouble finding the last column. There are other cells in use on Row 1 in
the worksheet so I don't want to use Last Column or Last Cell or start
from
the rightmost column and use xlToLeft. I can find the LastRow easily
enough

I thought starting in A1 and going ri9ght and select would do it but that
isn't working.

FinalColumn = Cells(Selection.Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select

Any suggestions?

Thanks
