Hi there,

I'm new to VBA and using Ron's Email template to send recipients a table of data. However, I want to hide the first column in the body of the email since it is for email addresses used in the VBA to send out messages. Does anyone know how to exclude the first column? I tried .Resize(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count - 1), but that excludes the last column, not the first.

In addition, I'd like to reference another name column in the body of the email. Instead of saying "Hi there," I'd like to pull the name from another column. If anyone can help with either of these, would really appreciate it. Below is a snippet of the code.


Sub mail2()

Dim OutApp As Object

Dim Rcount As Long

Dim FilterRange As Range
Dim FieldNum As Integer
Dim StrBody As String

StrBody = "</center><p style='font-family:calibri;font-size:15'>Hi there," & "<br><br>" & _

End With

'Set filter sheet, you can also use Sheets("MySheet")
Set Ash = Sheets("Watchlist")

'Set filter range and filter column (column with e-mail addresses)
Set FilterRange = Ash.Range("A1:O" & Ash.Rows.Count)
FieldNum = 2 'Filter column = B because the filter range start in column A

'Add a worksheet for the unique list and copy the unique list in A1
Set Cws = Worksheets.Add
FilterRange.Columns(FieldNum).AdvancedFilter _

'Count of the unique values + the header cell
Rcount = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Cws.Columns(1))

End With

'If there are unique values start the loop

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Hi,

Have you tried Offset(0,1) to modify your top left reference cell ...
