random range of cells via cell names
 

There was an earlier post about how to construct a range of random cells. The examples used cell addresses like "A5, A6 ... and so on.

I've tried 100 times and I can't figure out how to do this with named cells. I'd like to do something like define the range with "cell_name_total", "cell_name_sum" ...

I just can get it to go.

Thanks.

Substitute the sample cell addresses with your cell names...

I tried these and none worked. Can you spot the silly thing I'm doing wrong?

Set rgRandomCells = myWs.Range(Cells("thisisa1"), Cells("thisisa2"),Cells("thisis23"))

Set rgRandomCells = myWs.Range(myWs.Range("thisisa1"), myWs.Range("thisisa1"))

Set rgRandomCells = myWs.Range("thisisa1, thisisa2")

random range of cells via cell names
 

Try...

Set rgRandomCells = myWs.Range("thisisa1", "thisisa2")
OR
Set rgRandomCells = myWs.Range("thisisa1", "thisisb3")

...to access A1:A2 OR A1:B3 as a block. To access as separate try...

const sMyRanges$ = "thisisa1,thisisa2,thisisb3"
Dim n
For Each n In Split(sMyRanges, ",")
MsgBox Range(n).Address
Next 'n
