Could someone provide a bit of explanation to the reference below.



Range(Cells(2, "D"), Cells(2, "F")).Cells(1) = "A"
Range(Cells(2, "D"), Cells(2, "F")).Cells(2) = "B"
Range(Cells(2, "D"), Cells(2, "F")).Cells(3) = "C"

Thnks

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
The lines refer to D2, E2 and F2, respectively. The "Cells(1)" on the end is saying to select the first cell from the the range object: "Range(Cells(2, "D"), Cells(2, "F"))", which refers to [D2:F2]. "Cells(2)" says to select the second cell, E2. Given that there are no variables involved, a more intuitive way to write it would be something like:
Code:
[D2:F2].value = Array("A","B","C")

Range(Cells(2, "D"), Cells(2, "F")).Cells(1) is the first cell in range D2:F2, that is, cell D2.

Cells(1) refers to [A1]
Cells(2) refers to [B1]
Cells(1,2) refers to [B1]
[B2] refers to [B2]
Range("B2") refers to [B2]
Range(Range("B2").Address) refers to [B2]
Columns(2).Cells(2) refers to [B2]
Cells(1).Offset(1,1) refers to [B2]
Cells(2,"B").Offset(1,1).Resize(2,3) refers to [C3:E4]
Union([B2],Cells(1),Range("A4")).Cells(2) refers to [B3]
