I have an array that stores range addresses. Is there a way I can select all cells that are in the array? Something like this.
Code:
Sub FillDownList()On Error Resume Next
Dim rng1, rng2, rng3 As String, x As Integer, MyArray As Variant, SelectionArray(1 To 90) As Variant
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Counter = 1
MyArray = Array(19, 51, 83, 115, 147, 179, 211, 243, 275, 307, 339, 371, 403, 435, 467)
For x = 7 To 467 Step 2
'Checks to see if Array contains the value of x
    If Contains(MyArray, x) Then
'        Stop
        SelectionArray(Counter) = Range(Cells(x, 3), Cells(x, 5)).Address
        Debug.Print x & vbNewLine & "End of Page "
        x = x + 20
    Else
        SelectionArray(Counter) = Range(Cells(x, 3), Cells(x, 5)).Address
'        SelectionArray(Counter) = x
        Debug.Print x
    End If
    Counter = Counter + 1
Next x

For y = LBound(SelectionArray, 1) To UBound(SelectionArray, 1)
[COLOR=#ff0000]Union(Range(SelectionArray(y))).Select[/COLOR]
Next y
With Selection.Validation
   .Delete
   .Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _
   xlBetween, Formula1:="=" & rng1
   .IgnoreBlank = True
   .InCellDropdown = True
   .InputTitle = ""
   .ErrorTitle = ""
   .InputMessage = ""
   .ErrorMessage = ""
   .ShowInput = True
   .ShowError = False
End With
Range("$G$1:$H$1").Select
ReagentPreparation.Activate
cell.Select
ReagentPreparation.Protect DrawingObjects:=False, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=False, AllowFormattingCells:=True, AllowFormattingColumns:=True, _
AllowFormattingRows:=True, AllowInsertingColumns:=True, AllowInsertingRows:=True, AllowDeletingColumns:=True, AllowDeletingRows:=True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Function Contains(arr, v) As Boolean
Dim rv As Boolean, lb As Long, ub As Long, i As Long
    lb = LBound(arr)
    ub = UBound(arr)
    For i = lb To ub
        If arr(i) = v Then
            rv = True
            Exit For
        End If
    Next i
    Contains = rv
End Function

The error occurs on the red line above. I seems like the Union property won't work this way. Is there a simple solution to this? Thanks

Not everything I do at work revolves around Excel. Only the fun parts.
Try
Code:
Dim Rng As Range
For y = LBound(SelectionArray, 1) To UBound(SelectionArray, 1)
If Rng Is Nothing Then Set Rng = Range(SelectionArray(y)) Else Set Rng = Union(Rng, Range(SelectionArray(y)))
Next y
Rng.Select

Thank you this works perfectly!
