💡 Key Takeaways:
▪️ Different Referencing Methods: Learn various ways to target cells in Excel VBA for more precise control.
▪️ Practical Examples: Step-by-step demonstrations for each method.
▪️ Tips for Efficiency: Tips on how to optimize your VBA code for better performance.
Referencing ranges is a common task in Excel VBA. It's important to be aware of the different ways you can write to Excel cells with VBA or macros. The macro recorder has its own preference when writing to ranges but it's not the only way.
You'll be surprised at all the available options. Each method has its own advantages. They will become more obvious later on when you learn to loop inside a range in Excel.
You'll learn how to use ranges, cells property, offset, named ranges, difference between activecell and selection, and how to reference entire rows or entire columns and also how to use autofit in Excel VBA.
Practice along with me by opening up a blank Excel spreadsheet. Make sure you close other spreadsheets as we'll be writing to the active Workbook.

VBA allows to specify ranges using the short notation with square brackets instead of the Range() or Cells() property. For instance 'Range("A1").Value' can be written in short as '[A1].Value'. This is also true when using areas, for instance [A2:C2].Value = "2nd", and named ranges such at [LastOne].Value = "10th".
Hello Leila, I've been working now through some of your great tutorials here and now I really have to make you a big compliment.
Thanks sooooo much for the great work you a doing here, it's really a great performance.
Your tutorials are very well structured and very easy to understand and extremely helpful. Thank You :-)
This is really great Leila. Love your presentation and excellent explanations. It is very well thought out. You make it easy to understand. When Mike Girvin is following your videos, you know you are among the great. Thank you so much for sharing.
Leila has the best Excel tutorials/videos by far! I did two of her courses and she is simply the best instructor!
Wow, thank you!
Hi Leila, Really really impressive explanation of cell referencing. This is the best video explaining the cell references.
Thank you.
I think I started to understand VBA with you thank you so much Ms. Leila
GOD bless you Mrs Leila, Thanks a lot for your tutorials
Clear, concise, and informative. Thank you.
Thursday is my favorite day! I was already wating for your new video. This is great, will practice this as you instructed. I want to be prepared for when the VBA course finally comes out.
Mine too! Great. Practice is always good :))
I like the way you explain. Really awesome!!! Thankyou.
Lady Leila, I LOVE YOU for making this wonderful tutorial. Excellent TEACHER.. knowing the art of MAKING UNDERSTAND.
Thanks a lot.

omg. I'm not getting much sleep. I keep learning more from you and instead of fixing the basic stuff I have written, I am thinking of other things I can do! Thank you :-)
Excellent video and narration! Thank you!
Awesome video. I think this should be the first video to watch for any one beginning to learn macros like me. I've spent hours trying to figure out how to refer cells in different scenarios.
Can you also mention how to refer to variable ranges? Eg Range from A1 to Ai where "i" is a result of another formula or loop counter etc.
Thanks for making a video on this topic though.
Thanks Leila,
You just cleared up a lot of confusion I had about vba range referencing. I am very grateful......and YES, I like what I see but someone already subscribed before me! :)
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome VBA Referencing video!!!! Quote Happy Fun : )
ExcelIsFun You should learn VBA as well😁

In the past week I've been locked up working on finalizing the course. I haven't had a chance to watch your videos, but I've added them all to my list. Have some catching up to do once I get out of here...

Thank you for reaching out to me!!! But I am sorry, antiksh... I was making a joke... I already know about Wise Owl. I feature the Wise Owl channel and Leila's channel at the excelisfun Channel home page : ) I was making a joke that I should take Leila's class. But really it is no joke - she is so amazing at teaching and marketing and making videos : ) Go Amazing Online Excel Team, including you antiksh!!!

Oh Wow, solved my problem in a few easy minutes, well explained.
I wish my school teachers, College Tutors etc, were like this.

I used this in Excel VBA "A1", "A" & lRow,
Where lRow was the last row number.
Cheers :)
Glad it helped!
So well explained, as always!
Thank you! This video gave me an excellent explanation about cells and ranges referencing.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot, very clear!
Leila you r awesome and nicely explains with smile and simple way. Thank u
I am one of those who believe that there is always something to learn. And this has just been verified once again. Although I have been writing VBA code for years, I have never used the shortcut "?" in the immediate window because I used to write the entire debug.print command. So thank you very much Leila for this
Hi Mehdi. I'm glad you found something new here. Actually I was also not aware of the "?" method for the longest time after I started to use VBA. It made me very happy when I discovered it :)
Hi Leila, for the history this is an old (legacy) command coming from old versions of Basic. If my memory is good I used it with gwbasic for more then 25 years ago :)
Thanks for the info :)
You are an awesome teacher.
Unbeatable knowledge Leila.. thanks..
So Clear Explanation....!!! Makes understanding simple.! :) thank you So Much !! :)

Useful video, Thanks

Hi @Leila , how would you select two ranges and select them together ?
E.g. Header should be fixed Range (First Range) and second range would be from active cell range.
Thank You So Mutch.
thank you ; its useful
بهترین استادی👏👏👏
Such a smart, beautiful woman. Iran makes great things. Thank you for these videos.
@Elegant Fowl Pls
Your videos are very informative. How do I reference entire rows as variables? For example if I am using them in a For/Next loop, instead of typing Rows("9:9").select? I can't figure out how to put a variable J in place of the 9's. Thank you.
You are the best😊😊👌👌👌
Dear Leila, many thanks for your clear and advanced lessons taken here. Could you please let me know how can I write selective data records to a .txt file on disk and the ability to read a requested record from the .txt file on the disk back to excel with VBA.
Thank you dear.
Thanks for the video ma'am.
You're very welcome Mohit.

Hi Leila ,is it possible to use name reference and offset function to hide / unhide rows?
Thank you very much
Thanks!
hi, your video is really great!
I want to write a text every open sheets and for example there are 100 tabs open and I want to every A1 cells... Is there any way for this? thank you.
Hey Leila, thanks for your videos. I need to loop through a range (one column) and 1) check if the cell contains a specific text/string and 2) if true, write the text in a new cell (same row). Which of your tutorials do you recommend to watch? Also, I didn't find the next video/lecture you mentioned at the end of this one. thank you in advance
Tomorrow, if I remember, I’ll write the code here for you 🤜🏼🤛🏼
She is the best
U r the best
Very true
thanl you so much
Nice video
I like how you teach. In fact, I'm enrolled in your Power Query Course. I'd assumed that you also have a Excel VBA course right? I'd like to learn macros.
Hello Leila, thank you so much for all your video tutorial, they are all so useful for people like me. I started a new job and will like to automate one of the reports in excel using VBA. I know what I want it to do but can't seem to figure out how to run the VBA to do it. Is it ok to contact you for help? Please help me!
Luv video. How do i use vba to delete a named range/ranges in a worksheet using vba code?
Thank you, for sharing useful information.
Please can you advise how you open excel and vbe at the same time?
I snap the VBE window in place. You can use the shortcut key window and then right arrow. Or you can drag the VBE window with your mouse and then drag it to the right hand side until it snaps in.
I will try
Thank you
Hello from India...I have query
I want to paste a column from sheet 1 after every update in sheet 2 (but in different columns like Ist update in A column , second should be B ....like wise
Thank Leila for the video. I need your help. in excel, I have a button to clear cells when I click on it named "Clear", and I have another macro named "Fill cell" to fill cells with "OMIT" if the we select certain option from another data validation list; this last macro named "Fill Cell" will run after sub routine of change.
My problem is when I click clear, it will will run also the macro that "fill cells". How can make not only run clear without executing the other macro "Fill Cell". Thanks in advance.
