Format Dynamic Range

[billandrew]

Good morning

trying to format multiple ranges. 1st range D6:G. the data will change (increase or decrease). the code I am using.

Thanks

Dim finalrow As Long
Dim i As Long

finalrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row


For i = 6 To finalrow

With Range("D6:G" & finalrow)
.NumberFormat = "0.0%"
.Value = Application.Evaluate("=" & .Address & "/" & 100)
.Font.Size = 22
End With

With Range("L6:O" & finalrow)
.NumberFormat = "0.0%"
.Value = Application.Evaluate("=" & .Address & "/" & 100)
.Font.Size = 22
End With


Next

End Sub

So, what exactly is your question or issue?

Note that you do not need a FOR ... NEXT loop to format multiple rows, as you can apply the format to multiple rows at once, and your code is already set-up to do that.

you answered my issue. I removed the For and the Next, seems to be working now.

Thank You

Excellent!

Since you are defining the entire range like this:

[COLOR=#333333]With Range("D6:G" & finalrow)[/COLOR]

there is no need for a loop.

I have been typically, (mostly through your direction) been using a loop. Which way is the most efficient?

 

[Joe4]

The other way.
Loops, by nature, are generally inefficient. So whenever there is an alternative, the alternative is usually more efficient.

Thank You very much.

You are welcome.

I find myself doing loops a lot (maybe more than I should), mostly because I am pretty comfortable with them. As long as the data sets aren't huge, many times the differences aren't that noticeable. But I try to use the more efficient methods when I can.

Note that if you are using loops to update cells on your sheet, you can often improve their performance by temporarily shutting off screen updating while they are running, i.e.

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

' some loop here

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Many times, using that little tip with loops can make a big difference.

Thanks for the tip Joe...
