Hi there! This is definately a quick question, but I need to select a range. I'm looking to do so along these lines:
Code:
Range("Activecell.End(xlDown)", "Active.End(xlToRight)").Select

This is definately a problem of not knowing the right jargon to do so.

Could someone please assist?

Thanks in advance!

Excel Facts

Create a chart in one keystroke
Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
Try

Code:
Dim LR As Long, LC As Long
LR = ActiveCell.End(xlDown).Row
LC = ActiveCell.End(xlToRight).Column
Range(ActiveCell, Cells(LR, LC)).Select

Code:
Dim LR As Long, LC As Long
LR = ActiveCell.End(xlDown).Row
LC = ActiveCell.End(xlToRight).Column
Range(ActiveCell, Cells(LR, LC)).Select

Elegant solution, ty. But for curiosity, is it possible to do as I originally inteded? maybe using "Range(cells(),cells()).select"?

thanks you in advance once again.

As a one-liner

Code:
Range(ActiveCell, Cells(ActiveCell.End(xlDown).Row, ActiveCell.End(xlToRight).Column)).Select


Beautifull, I was trying to do so, but I was forgetting the .row & .column and couldn't see what i was doing wrong.
Thanks!

You are welcome.

For what it's worth you don't actually need to select that range in order to work with it. For example

Code:
Range(ActiveCell, Cells(ActiveCell.End(xlDown).Row, ActiveCell.End(xlToRight).Column)).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
