    Macro Sort column(s) with range that is continuously changing or being added to

    I created a Macro button that sorts columns specifically to print out at a report. This works great until I insert/add rows to the columns i am sorting: the range the macro was set up for does not match the # of rows in the column.

    Example:
    Orginal macro sorting range is: ActiveSheet.Range("$A$3:$V$100") where row 101 is blank, and row 102 is a subtotal. I add 2 rows, now I want my sorting range to be: ActiveSheet.Range("$A$3:$V$102") where row 103 is blank, and row 104 is a subtotal. This does not automatically update as I wrote the macro from the "Developer" tab "record macro" function, the range stays: ActiveSheet.Range("$A$3:$V$100").

    How does one have excel automatically update the range?

    Mike, can you explain how this works? I do not understand how the cells(rowindex, columnindex) returned the range.

    Does it work like you want it to?
    The cells(rowindex, columnindex) looks at Row 3 Column A and .End(xlDown).Row works like if you Manual click in cell A3 then hold down the CTRL key and the press the down arrow key. It will goto the last cell in column A with data as long as there are no empty cells in between.
