Selecting 2 cells together

[Brian]

I am trying to do the following in a macro:

1. For all occupied cells in one column
2. Jump down to the next occupied cell
3. Select that cell AND the one to the left of it
4. Cut
5. Move the selection one cell to the left.
6. Paste.

The following code does all of that except for step 3. It seems such a
simple thing, but I can't find it in the Google archive.

Can someone help?

Dim myRange As Range
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Selection.Cut
Selection.Offset(0, -1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End Sub

Hi Brian

Look in the VBA help for Resize

Ron,,
Thanks for the tip. I have had a look at Resize, and I still haven't got the
answer.

The following code contains 3 attempts to increase the selection from one
cell to two, but none of those attempts works. I am using XL97 - might that
make a difference?


Sub Line_up_cols()

'
Dim myRange As Range
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Set myRange = ActiveCell
myRange.Offset(, -1).Resize(, 1).Select
Selection.Resize(, 1).Select
Selection.Cut
Selection.Offset(0, -1).Resize(, 1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End Sub

Sorry Ron, I wasn't paying attention. I had been assuming that the Resize
command increases the selection by the number of cells specified...
