Hi
I want to fill the whole worksheet with "hello" or with a number like 1
I wrote the code below. It is only working if
x.Value = "" (clearing the sheet)

but when I type
x.Value = "hello"
or x.Value= 1

I got error message. Any idea how to fix that. Thank

Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
Dim x As Range
Set x = Worksheets("sheet1").Cells
x.Value = ""
End Sub

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
What does the message say?
Not enough resources?

Of course the next question is, if you could, what are you going to do with 16,777,216 or 14,034,141,184 times hello

no reason. Just to practice different things. Thank you.

In the Immediate Window enter:

msgbox rows.Count*columns.Countlarge

and press Enter to see how many cells you are trying to fill with a value. That causes overflow.
