Excel VBA - Basics videos | Excel VBA Part 5 - Selecting Cells
Posted by Andrew Gould on 23 May 2013
You won't get far in Excel VBA without understanding how to refer to cells! This fairly long video covers most of the common, and some uncommon, techniques for selecting and referring to cells. You'll learn how to select cells by cell reference using the Range property, how to refer to cells by row and column number using the Cells property, and how to refer to the currently selected cell using the Activecell property. We also cover how to select multiple cells and how to refer to range names as well as a variety of relative selection tricks such as using the End property to jump to the bottom of a list, using the Offset property to move a specific number of rows and columns, and how to select an entire region of data with one simple instruction. Along the way you'll also learn several techniques for formatting and modifying cells, as well as how to copy and paste data in VBA.

Making a video bigger
You can increase the size of your video to make it fill the screen like this:
Play your video (the icons shown won't appear until you do), then click on the full screen icon which appears as shown at its bottom right-hand corner.
When you've finished viewing a video in full screen mode, just press the Esc key to return to normal view.
Improving the quality of a video
To improve the quality of a video, first click on the Settings icon:
Make sure you're playing your video so that the icons shown appear, then click on this gear icon at the bottom right-hand corner.
Choose to change the video quality:
Click on Quality as shown to bring up the submenu.
The higher the number you choose, the better will be your video quality (but the slower the connection speed):
Don't choose the HD option unless you have a fast enough connection speed to support it!
Is your Wise Owl speaking too slowly (or too quickly)? You can also use the Settings menu above to change your playback speed.
Hi, I would appreciate your advice on the following code. It might be very simple but I dont see it. Why it gives me an application or object defined error when I reach the underlined line in the code below?
Dim WS As Integer
Dim WSCounter As Integer
Dim WSPV As Long
Dim SumPV As Long
Dim Period As Range
Dim TotalPeriods As Range
WSCounter = Worksheets.Count - 1
Set TotalPeriods = Range("A2", Range("A2").End(xlDown))
For Each Period In TotalPeriods
For WS = 1 To WSCounter
WSPV = WorksheetFunction.Sum(Worksheets(WS).Range(Period))
SumPV = SumPV + WSPV
Next WS
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A2") = SumPV
Next Period
Thank you in advance for the help.
