    Looping Thru Cells in a Discontiguous Range

    I have a range, "MyRange", that consists of discontiguous cells, such as
    A1, C1, D1, E1. (All cells are in a single row.) I can use:

    For Each MyCell in MyRange
    ...

    Hello Larry.LeBlanc@O,

    When referring to disparate ranges, you access each sub-range by using the Areas property. The first area is one. In your example, you would access the third item this way...

    More work but this makes it a bit easier if you like arrays.

    Hello Larry,

    If you are interested in a method to access cells regardless of range type, contiguous or disparate, this method will do the job.
