RE: when do I use the with function

Hi Peter

Thank you for your question.

The With construct is used to make code more readable and therefore easier to maintain.

Example that groups commands refereing to the Font of the selection

    With Selection.Font

        .Name = "Verdana"

        .FontStyle = "Italic"

        .Size = 14

        .Strikethrough = False

        .Superscript = False

        .Subscript = False

        .OutlineFont = False

        .Shadow = False

        .Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone

    End With

Regards

Excel tip:

Fill formulae across a sheet

To copy a formula down a spreadsheet where there is data underneath, to the left or to the right of the formula, double-click on the fill handle. The fill handle is the little black cross that appears in the bottom right-hand corner of the formula cell. Unfortunately, no similar facility exists to copy formulae across the sheet.

One reasonably quick way to copy an existing formula across a sheet is to select the formula and the cells on the right to which you want to copy it. Then press Ctrl+R to copy the formula across the selected range, or, if you are menu-minded, use the Edit|Fill|Right command.
