Hi guys,

I'm hoping someone can help me here,

what I'm trying to do is first the first and last rows that contain a certain value and then select everything in between as a range.
so if for example cell B1 has the value "bbb" it will select A3:A5 as a range.

Value
aaa
aaa
bbb
bbb
bbb
ccc

<TBODY>
</TBODY>

Hope I'm making sense guys, appreicate your help.

I'm using Excel 2010
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
This is one possibility:
Code:
Sub selectRange()
Dim rngFirst As Range
Dim rngLast As Range

Set rngLast = Range("A:A").Find(What:=Range("B1").Value, LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole, searchdirection:=xlPrevious)

If Not rngLast Is Nothing Then
    Set rngFirst = Range("A:A").Find(What:=Range("B1").Value, after:=rngLast, LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole, searchdirection:=xlNext) 'note change in searchdirection!
    Range(rngFirst, rngLast).Select
Else
    MsgBox Range("B1").Value & " not found in column A!"
End If
End Sub
