Hello

Is there a way to select columns (more than 1!) in VBA by specifying numbers rather than letters?

Instead of
Columns("B:D").Select
I would like something along the lines of
Columns(2,4).Select 'Select columns 2 through 4

I want to do it this way because I want to select columns by using a variable start position and a variable end position - and don't want to end up converting those numbers to letters in a text string.

Thank you
HedgePig
 

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.
How one would use this in a loop? Like if I have 100 columns non-consecutive to select ...

Something like this
Code:
Sub chk()

   Dim Ary As Variant
   Dim Cnt As Long
   
   Ary = Array([COLOR=#ff0000]1[/COLOR], [COLOR=#ff0000]5[/COLOR], [COLOR=#ff0000]3[/COLOR], [COLOR=#ff0000]7[/COLOR], [COLOR=#ff0000]5[/COLOR])
   For Cnt = LBound(Ary) To UBound(Ary)
      Columns(Ary(Cnt)).Select
   Next Cnt
   
End Sub
Where the values in red are your columns
