Range.Cells Property

  • Article
Excel Developer Reference

Returns a Range object that represents the cells in the specified range.

Syntax

expression.Cells

expression   A variable that represents a Range object.

Remarks

Because the Item property is the default property for the Range object, you can specify the row and column index immediately after the Cells keyword. For more information, see the Item property and the examples for this topic.

Using this property without an object qualifier returns a Range object that represents all the cells on the active worksheet.

Example

This example sets the font style for cells A1:C5 on Sheet1 to italic.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(5, 3)).Font.Italic = True

This example scans a column of data named "myRange." If a cell has the same value as the cell immediately above it, the example displays the address of the cell that contains the duplicate data.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Set r = Range("myRange")
For n = 1 To r.Rows.Count
    If r.Cells(n, 1) = r.Cells(n + 1, 1) Then
        MsgBox "Duplicate data in " & r.Cells(n + 1, 1).Address
    End If
Next n
