Excel VBA Introduction - Count Rows to set a For Range

Have been trying to replicate some of the code from the introduction course.

Am trying to use the Count function we discussed with Jens, in order to identify how many iterations to go through:

For I = 1 to (number of rows in the selected data)

I am using

Range("f3").CurrentRegion.Select

For i = 1 To (Selection.Rows.Count.Value)

Jens' way seemed very simple, but I can't find anything as simple on Google.

thanks

RE: Excel VBA Introduction - Count Rows to set a For Range

Hi Ben,

Thank you for your question. It works best if you declare two simple variables.

The code will look as follows:

Dim rowcounter as long
Dim i as long

rowcounter = range("f3").currentregion.rows.count

For i = 1 to rowcounter

(Place the rest of your code here to state what needs to happen with the records)

Next i

I hope this helps!

Kind regards

Excel tip:

The dual nature of toolbar buttons

Many toolbar buttons are dual purpose, though the two purposes are often linked in some way. For example, Align Left aligns a cell's contents to the left of the cell. However, hold down Shift and press the Align Left button: Excel aligns the cell contents to the right.
You may respond: So what? Well, you can reduce the number of buttons on your toolbar to make your screen less cluttered and allow more room for, perhaps, some of your own commands. After all, what's the point of an Align Right button when Shift+Align Left does the same thing?
