Hi all,

How could I go about shortening the below code? Thank you
VBA Code: 
    Range("B2:D" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Select
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThick
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThick
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThick
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With

    Range("E2:G" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Select
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThick
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThick
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThick
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With

    Range("H2:J" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Select
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThick
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThick
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThick
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With

    Range("K2:M" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Select
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThick
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThick
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThick
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With
    With Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal)
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Weight = xlThin
    End With

Basically, I want to apply -
VBA Code: 
        Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
        Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
        With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
            .LineStyle = xlContinuous
            .Weight = xlThick
        End With
        With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
            .LineStyle = xlContinuous
            .Weight = xlThick
        End With
        With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
            .LineStyle = xlContinuous
            .Weight = xlThin
        End With
        With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight)
            .LineStyle = xlContinuous
            .Weight = xlThick
        End With
        With Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical)
            .LineStyle = xlContinuous
            .Weight = xlThin
        End With
        With Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal)
            .LineStyle = xlContinuous
            .Weight = xlThin
        End With
To the following -
VBA Code: 
        Range("B2:D" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Select
        Range("E2:G" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Select
        Range("H2:J" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Select
        Range("K2:M" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Select
[/CODE]
 

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)

You can slim it down slightly like
VBA Code: 
   With Range("B2:D" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
      .Borders.Weight = xlThin
      .Borders(xlEdgeLeft).Weight = xlThick
      .Borders(xlEdgeTop).Weight = xlThick
      .Borders(xlEdgeRight).Weight = xlThick
   End With

You can also do it like
VBA Code: 
   With Range("B2:M" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
      .Borders.Weight = xlThin
      .Borders(xlEdgeLeft).Weight = xlThick
      .Columns(4).Borders(xlEdgeLeft).Weight = xlThick
      .Columns(7).Borders(xlEdgeLeft).Weight = xlThick
      .Columns(10).Borders(xlEdgeLeft).Weight = xlThick
      .Borders(xlEdgeTop).Weight = xlThick
      .Borders(xlEdgeRight).Weight = xlThick
   End With
This replaces all your posted code.

That is a great tip, adding in the specific column by number. Thank you!
