Hi

Im trying to set a range to be used in a VLOOKUP function. I cant figure out why this isn't working...
The RowCount variable is holding an Integer.

Code:
Dim MyRange as Range
Set MyRange = Worksheets("Anysheet").Range(Cells(2, 2), Cells(RowCount,5))

Thank you in advance.
 

Excel Facts

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
You need to qualify the cells like
Code:
Set MyRange = Worksheets("Anysheet").Range(Worksheets("Anysheet").Cells(2, 2), Worksheets("Anysheet").Cells(RowCount, 5))
or slightly simpler
Code:
Dim MyRange As Range
With Worksheets("Anysheet")
   Set MyRange = .Range(.Cells(2, 2), .Cells(RowCount, 5))
End With

When the code runs, is "Anysheet" the activesheet? I think the issue is being caused by Cells(2,2) and Cells(RowCount, 5) not knowing what sheet they belong to.

Below works for me, regardless of which sheet is active, check difference in syntax to yours:
Rich (BB code):
Sub test()
Dim RowCount As Integer: RowCount = 20
Dim MyRange As Range


Set MyRange = Range(Worksheets("MonkeyTennis").Cells(2, 2), Worksheets("MonkeyTennis").Cells(RowCount, 5))
MsgBox MyRange.Parent.Name & " " & MyRange.Address 'MsgBox displays "MonkeyTennis $B$2:$E$20"

Set MyRange = Nothing
End Sub
PS Integer data types in VBA are virtually redundant, you're better off declaring them as longs
and PPS beaten2it
