Learn about Excel VBA Range
In Excel VBA, the Range object is used to represent a cell or a group of cells in a worksheet. This object is essential for performing operations like reading or writing data, formatting cells, or applying functions to specific cells.
Syntax for Using Range
The Range object is typically used as follows:
Range(“A1”) ‘ Refers to cell A1
Range(“A1:B2”) ‘ Refers to cells from A1 to B2
Range(“A:A”) ‘ Refers to all cells in column A
Range(“1:1”) ‘ Refers to all cells in row 1
Range(“A1:A10, C1:C10”) ‘ Refers to a non-contiguous range
Accessing the Range Object
To access a range, you often need to specify which worksheet it belongs to. For example:
Worksheets(“Sheet1”).Range(“A1”).Value = “Hello, VBA!” ‘ Sets A1 on Sheet1 to “Hello, VBA!”
If you’re working in the active worksheet, you can use:
ActiveSheet.Range(“A1”).Value = “Hello, ActiveSheet!”
