Range selection VBA

[Mr2017]

Hi

I'm trying to select a range in VBA (from cell A2 to M2 down to the bottom of the range of data), but the Sub is going to the bottom of column A instead of selecting the range.

Can someone please clarify why?

I used this code:

Sub R1()


Range("A2:m2").End(xlDown).Select


End Sub

It sounds like you do not have any data in column A beyond row 2.
Is there some column that will ALWAYS have a data entry for all rows that contain data?

Note that if you are just trying to select the whole range, and there are no "gaps" in your data, you could just use Current Region, i.e.

Range("A2:M2").CurrentRegion.Select

Hi Joe

Thanks for the prompt response.

There actually is data in every row in column A.

If you look at this sample of data, which has data in cells A1:C4, the same thing happens ie the Sub goes to the end of the data in column A, instead of selecting the range A2:C4 (the Sub has been modified to go up to column C to answer your question, with a simple example)

Sub test()


Range("A2:c2").End(xlDown).Select


End Sub

[TABLE="width: 192"]
<colgroup><col width="64" span="3" style="width:48pt"> </colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD="class: xl63, width: 64"]1[/TD]
[TD="class: xl63, width: 64"]2[/TD]
[TD="class: xl63, width: 64"]3[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="class: xl63"]a[/TD]
[TD="class: xl63"]d[/TD]
[TD="class: xl63"]g[/TD]

</tbody>[/TABLE]

Because that code is just selecting a single cell, not an entire range.
Try:

Range("A2:C" & Range("A2").End(xlDown).Row).Select

Thanks Joe.

Apologies for the delay in responding. Some other things came up.
