Why Cells takes Row,Col as arguments

[lezawang]

Hi
From Object Oriented point of view, I understand Cells is a property of Range Class and its type is Range. So I understand this code

   cells.clear

but what I do not understand this

    cells(1,1).value ="hello"

Where it says Cells takes Row, and Column as arguments? If you check Range class, you would see Cells defined as

Property Cells As Range

Nothing mentioned about Row and Column?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/excel.range.cells

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you

Cells(row, col) is actually short for Cells.Item(row, col).

Thank you very much. It does make sense now, but I have another question now! Qhy excel is allowing us to do Cells(1,1), is it to make it easier for users. I mean is that an exception or there are other examples or rules that we can eliminate the second object to make it easier for users?

Thank you once again.

Item is the default property so you can generally leave it out.
