VBA to capture selected range

[brid]

This is simple, but I am having trouble finding the answer in VBA Help than I would be asking it in this forum, so here goes:

The user highlights a range of cells, then runs my macro. The first thing my macro needs to do is to find the rows and columns that define the range that was selected. How do I do it?

ActiveWindow.RangeSelection gives me the range (e.g. $B$4:$G$8), but I want the rows and columns as integers and would prefer not to have to parse.

Thx, brid

Hi Brid

I think you'll have to parse the result in one way or another. It will no doubt be easier to do so if you return an R1C1-style address reference:

Debug.Print Selection.Address(,,xlR1C1)

Best regards

PS as long as you know the address of the top left cell in the selection, then you can determine the rest from:

Debug.Print Selection.Rows.Count
Debug.Print Selection.Columns.Count
