Create excel ranges using column numbers in vba?

Question

How is it possible to create a range in vba using the column number, rather than letter?

Answer 1

Below are two solutions to select the range A1.

Cells(1,1).Select '(row 1, column 1) 
Range("A1").Select

We strongly recommend that you use Range instead of Cells to work with cells and groups of cells. It makes your sentences much clearer and you are not forced to remember that column AE is column 31.

The only time that you will use Cells is when you want to select all the cells of a worksheet. For example: Cells.Select To select all cells and then empty all cells of values or formulas you will use: Cells.ClearContents

"Cells" is particularly useful when setting ranges dynamically and looping through ranges by using counters. Defining ranges using letters as column numbers may be more transparent on the short run, but it will also make your application more rigid since they are "hard coded" representations - not dynamic.
