Hi i want to select a range of cell with

Sheets("test").Select
Range("A1:B21").Select

Instead of using A1 and B21 i would like to use a variable that would start
at 1

Dim cpt as integer
cpt = 1
Range("A & cpt:B & cpt +20")

I dont know how to write this

Can someone help me

Thanks
 
Try

Range("A" & cpt & ":B" & cpt + 20).Select

You have to put the variable outside the set of double quotes, or Excel
thinks it is part of the string. Same with the +20.

Hope this helps,

Hutch
 
This will do. Be sure to correct for word wrap, if necessary.

Sub gotovariable()
dim fr as integer
dim lr as long
fr = 1
lr=20
'one line below
Application.Goto Sheets("sheet10").Range("b" & fr & ":b" & lr)
'one line above
End Sub
 
Anything between quote marks is considered pure text (the characters that
make it up, not a value that a variable whose name is the same as those
characters would hold, so putting cpt inside them won't get you what you are
after... the variable's name must be concatenated onto the text.

Range("A" & cpt & ":B" & (cpt + 20)).Select

Try something like:

Dim R As Long
Dim C As Long
For R = 1 To 10
For C = 2 To 5
ActiveSheet.Cells(R, C).Select
Next C
Next R

This will sequentially select the cells in columns 2 to 5 in rows 1 to 10.

OR

Sub gotovariable()
fr = 1
lr = 21
mc = "b"
With Sheets("sheet10")
Application.Goto .Range(.Cells(fr, mc), .Cells(lr, mc))
End With
End Sub
 
Are you trying to loop through the range maybe?

Set rng = Sheets("test").Range("A1:B21")
For Each cell In rng
' cell.select
cell.Value = cell.Address
Next cell
 
Tom or any other one :)

How can i find the last cell in a sheet that has somethin written in it ?

Thanks !
 
The last cell where? Do you mean the last row containing data? Or the last
column containing data? Or something else? If something else, then you have
to tell us which is the last "cell" between, say, B4 and C3 (assuming they
were the only cells filled in).

I want to retreive the last row

Thanks !

Give this function a try...

Function MaxRowInUse(Optional WS As Worksheet, Optional _
FactorInHiddenRows As Boolean = False) As Long
Dim X As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
If WS Is Nothing Then Set WS = ActiveSheet
With WS
For X = 1 To .UsedRange.Columns.Count
If Not (Not FactorInHiddenRows And Columns(X).Hidden) Then
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, X).End(xlUp).Row
If LastRow > MaxRowInUse Then MaxRowInUse = LastRow
End If
Next
End With
End Function

Note: If you don't specify a worksheet in the first (optional) argument,
then the active sheet is used. The second optional argument is the
interesting one... it lets you determine whether to include hidden rows when
determining the maximum row that is in use; that is, if a hidden row
contains the maximum row, it will be ignored unless the second argument is
set to True. This allows you to get the maximum row for what you see on the
worksheet rather than for what any hidden data would return. I wasn't sure
which would be the most logical default for this second argument, so I chose
not factor in hidden rows (that is, the functions return the maximum row for
only the visible data); if desired, this can be easily changed in the
declaration headers for the function (change the False to True).
