expression A variable that represents a Range object.

Parameters

Example

This example activates the cell three columns to the right of and three rows down from the active cell on Sheet1.

Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate 
ActiveCell.Offset(rowOffset:=3, columnOffset:=3).Activate

This example assumes that Sheet1 contains a table that has a header row. The example selects the table, without selecting the header row. The active cell must be somewhere in the table before the example is run.

Set tbl = ActiveCell.CurrentRegion 
tbl.Offset(1, 0).Resize(tbl.Rows.Count - 1, _ 
 tbl.Columns.Count).Select 

If RowOffset or ColumnOffset are 0 (zero) they can be omitted.

Select cell D1

Range("A1").Offset(, 3).Select

Select cell A5

Range("A1").Offset(4).Select
