How to create a variable selected range

[kittronald]

I'm trying to create a macro that will do the following:

1) Goto B1

2) Using the variable number value stored in A1 (i.e., 10), select
B1 and the next nine adjacent cells to the right - creating a range of 10
selected cells (B1:B10).

The goal is to select an X number of cells from a known starting point.

Any ideas ?

Jim,

Thanks, that works !

Using that code, I'm trying to fill down to the last used row.

For example:

A B C D
1 ABC 1 2 3
2 BCD
3 CDE
4 DEF
5 EFG


In this case, B11 would be filled down to row 5.

However, the rows used in column A varies and I'm trying to fill down to
the last used row with code similar to:

Range(Selection, Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell)).Select

Selection.FillDown

Is there a way to specify the last used row ?

In this case, B11 would be filled down to row 5.

'Last used column
LCol = Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
'Last used Row
LRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Range(Cells(1, 2), Cells(1, LCol)).AutoFill _
Destination:=Range(Cells(1, 2), Cells(LRow, LCol))

Hey ,

try this code

Sub Selectandpaste()
Range("B11").Select

Selection.Copy
Range("a1").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Range(Selection, Range("B1")).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial

End Sub

XLS S brought next idea :

Hey ,

try this code

Sub Selectandpaste()
Range("B11").Select

Selection.Copy
Range("a1").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Range(Selection, Range("B1")).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial

End Sub

Why so many lines of code?...

Sub Selectandpaste()
Range("B11").Copy
Range(Range("A1").End(xlDown).Offset(0, 1), Range("B1")).PasteSpecial
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
