Code:
 Sheets("Sheet1").Select
    Cells.Select
    Selection.Clear
    Range("A1").Select
    With ActiveWindow
        .SplitColumn = 0
        .SplitRow = 1
    End With
    ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True
    Columns("A:A").ColumnWidth = 36
    Columns("B:B").ColumnWidth = 36

Is it possible to execute this (re write it) without using Select or Active Window ?

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
I don't believe so, but what is the problem with using activewindow ??
Code:
Sub MM1()
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
With ActiveSheet.Cells
    .Clear
    .Columns("A:A").ColumnWidth = 36
    .Columns("B:B").ColumnWidth = 36
End With
With ActiveWindow
    .SplitColumn = 0
    .SplitRow = 1
    .FreezePanes = True
End With
End Sub

Just to use VBA without relying on anything else. That is, let the code control / do everything.
Stepping through shows the selections being made, it shouldn't need to do that.
I liked your changes.
Thanks.

Thanks Footoo.
Is it true = if you select something in code, you can't de-select it. You can only select something else?

In that case simply add...

Code:
Sub MM1()
[color=red]application.screenupdating=false[/color]
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
With ActiveSheet.Cells
    .Clear
    .Columns("A:A").ColumnWidth = 36
    .Columns("B:B").ColumnWidth = 36
End With
With ActiveWindow
    .SplitColumn = 0
    .SplitRow = 1
    .FreezePanes = True
End With
[color=red]application.screenupdating=true[/color]
End Sub

I don't know. I am using 2016 in which the de-select feature is not available.
Why not try it?

Thanks Michael, that's one way round it!

Holding down the CTRL key and selcting the cells to deselect will work.....but there must always be at least 1 active cell !
