Hello!

I need to set a dynamic range for formatting a report. The number of rows and columns will change regularly, and not all of the rows will have data. I put this together based on research in this forum, but I'm getting a "Compile error: invalid or unqualified reference" on ".Cells". Can anyone help with correcting this? Thanks!!

Code:
    Dim lrow As Long
    Dim lcol As Long
    Dim onerng As Range
    
    With Sheets("Solutions by Location")
    lrow = .Range("a" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    lcol = .Cells(lrow, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
    End With
    
    Range("A2").Select
    Set onerng = .Cells(lrow, 1).Resize(, lcol)
    Range("onerng").Select

'continue with code to format the selection

Back into an answer in Excel
Use Data, What-If Analysis, Goal Seek to find the correct input cell value to reach a desired result
Assuming that it was this line that gave the error
Code:
 Set onerng = .Cells(lrow, 1).Resize(, lcol)
Remove the . from infront of .Cells

Fluff, thanks so much! That got me beyond that line, but now I'm getting Run-time error: 1004 Method Range of object Global failed on the next line, Range("onerng").Select. Any further thoughts? Thanks again!

As you've declared onerng as Range it should be
Code:
onerng.Select

Fluff, thank you again! At least it's not erroring out anymore.
Steve, yes, that is the active sheet.

It worked this time, but it only selected the last row, not from the starting point ("A2") to the last row, last column. Is there a way to make something like this work? Thank you!

Code:
    Range("a2:" lastcol & lrow).Select
