There is no code here to "fix". I'm just simply wondering why this argument no longer seems to work. I used to be able to add to a selection by using
VBA Code:
myRange.Select False
. Where the False argument would "Add" to the current Selection instead of replacing it. Has this function been removed?

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
The built-in Select method does not nor has ever had an optional argument. I think you are probably confusing it with something else, but I don't know what. Or maybe you had an add-in or other custom function that would do this.

For what you are describing I would use
VBA Code:
Union (Selection, myRange).Select

The OP is thinking of the Select method for worksheets which does have the optional argument he is referring to.

Just add to what Rick has stated, the MS documentation for the Sheets.Select method specifically states Replace is "Used only with sheets"
