Please help. Thanks in advance
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
I have written code as

Dim wkb As Excel.Workbook
Dim wks As Excel.Worksheet

Set wkb = Excel.Workbooks("w2.xlsx")
Set wks = wkb.Worksheets("example_sheet")

'-----------------------------------------------------------

It is giving error as " subscript out of range" at set wkb statement.
