I would like to refer to cells with the Columns function but cannot figure out how to do it. Example: Rather than Columns("A:O").Select I'd prefer to use a variable so I can say Columns("A":lastcolumn") or something like that.

Maybe I should be asking how I can use variables with the Columns function?
 
Thanks. Presumably, you could also use a variable instead of a column number or letter? Is that correct?
Yes...

Col = 5
Cells(2, Col)

also...

Col = "E"
Cells(2, Col)

Both version reference the same cell (E2).
