Variable Range select

[diamonddave]

Good Morning, I'm working in excel 2003 and am trying for formate the sub total line associated with the sub total function. The row number will be variable, but the column range is fixed from Column B to AP. I can get to the starting point using the following: Note data does not exist in all columns B to AP

Cells.Find(What:="4 Total", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Sub Total"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select

I have tried the following but no luck.

'range(ActiveCell & (LastColumn)).Select
'range(ActiveCell.Offset(-5, 0) & ActiveCell.Offset(35, 0)).Select

being new to programing, I'm note sure if I'm on the right track. any Ideas.

If the Active cell is A10. This will select A5:A45 (41 cells)

Range(ActiveCell.Offset(-5, 0), ActiveCell.Offset(35, 0)).Select

So will this...

ActiveCell.Offset(-5, 0).Resize(41, 1).Select

On another note: You don't need to select the cells to do something with them.
This...

ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Sub Total"

Could be replaced with just this...

ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1) = "Sub Total"
