Exercise: Selecting celeb marriage data using END
A full answer to this exercise is provided as part of the training course!
| 1) | Download the files needed to start this exercise: exercise-902.zip (and click here if you experience any problems unzipping this file after downloading it). |
| 2) | Create a macro called SelectWeddingBlock (not a euphemism, just a reference to a block of data), and insert the following code: |
This macro will select the cell shown in yellow below (ie the one below the cell containing the word BRIDE)
|
|
| 3) | Run this macro - you should see that it selects Britney Spears in cell B4. |
| 4) | Now amend your macro so that it selects all of the brides (no matter how many there might be) using the END keyword: |
Your macro should select from the active cell down to the bottom of the block
|
|
| 5) | Finally, amend your macro so that it selects all of the marriage data (from Britney down and across): |
Select the range of cells with the active cell at the top left, where the bottom right corner is obtained by going down from this to the bottom of the block and then across to the right
|
|
| 6) | Save this file as Select marriage data.xlsm, then close it down. |
