    Post How to define range based on the value of another cell

    Is it possible to define a range in VBA based on a value given in a cell?

    For example, I have a dataset with a constantly changing number of rows. I have the number of rows in cell B2. Suppose cell B2 indicates the number of rows is 33, then I want the range to be D5: D33, but I want the selection of the last cell to be dependent on cell B2.
    So if I change B2 to 50, the next time I run the macro, D5: D50 will be selected, but since I'm new to VBA I can't figure it out.

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Surround your VBA code with CODE tags e.g.;
    [CODE]your VBA code here[/CODE]
    The # button in the forum editor will apply CODE tags around your selected text.
