Hello Everyone
I am trying to translate my visual basic to Applescript with Excel 2008.
I use very often
Range cells(myrow1,mycol1),Cells(myrow2,mycol2))
where myrow1,myrow2,mycol1,mycol2 are numbers passed through the subroutine.
How can I write that in applescript? All I have seen is range (“B2:C12”) with letters designing the column.
Thanks

Thanks Jacques :slight_smile:

As I am not yet ready for shortcuts ;), I wrote it a way that is more understandable for me.:


set myrow1 to 2
set mycol1 to 4
set myrow2 to 10
set mycol2 to 6
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
	set firstcel to (get address of cell mycol1 of row myrow1 of active sheet)
	set lastcel to (get address of cell mycol2 of row myrow2 of active sheet)
	set myrange to range (firstcel & ":" & lastcel)
	select myrange
end tell

Excel X (10.1.5), oddly, was straightforward to convert from VB:

set currentRow to "2"
set currentColumn to "1"
set currentCell to ("R" & currentRow & "C" & currentColumn) as text
Select Range currentCell

(selects the cell in Column 1, Row 2)

In other words, I just manually created the selection string “R1C2” syntax. :wink:

Selecting a range works the same way:

Select Range ("R" & currentRow & "C1:R" & currentRow & "C4")

(select the range R1C1 through R1C4, aka R1C1:R1R4)

Hi Calvin
The script does not work with Excel 2008 (v12.xx) nor Excel 2004 (v11.xx).
