Hi,

I'm trying to check two cell values where both must be within the same range like this...

If 1<=Cell a<=6 and 1<=Cell b<=6 then execute

This is what I have at the moment...
Code:
If ws2.Cells(d, "B").Value <= 6 And => 1 And ws2.Cells(d, "C").Value <= 7 And => 1 Then
Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Welcome to the Board!

Each part of it must be a complete statement, i.e.
Code:
If ws2.Cells(d, "B").Value <= 6 And ws2.Cells(d, "B").Value >= 1 And ws2.Cells(d, "C").Value <= 7 And ws2.Cells(d, "C").Value >= 1 Then
To me, this can sometimes be confusing to look at, so I add parentheses:
Code:
If (ws2.Cells(d, "B").Value <= 6) And (ws2.Cells(d, "B").Value >= 1) And (ws2.Cells(d, "C").Value <= 7) And (ws2.Cells(d, "C").Value >= 1) Then

This is a personal preference, but I think it helps make things clear when and if the code ever has to be revisited in the future... I like to arrange the logical operations so that natural looking "ranges" (1<=x and x<=6) are displayed. Given that, here is how I would rearrange your second code line (I fully agree with you about the parentheses)...
Code:
[table="width: 500"]
[tr]
	[td]If ((1 <= ws2.Cells(d, "B").Value) And (ws2.Cells(d, "B").Value <= 6)) And ((1 <= ws2.Cells(d, "C").Value) And (ws2.Cells(d, "C").Value <= 7)) Then[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
