    How to select and delete a range of cells between two different ranges of unequal size?

    Hello,

    I need to be able to select all the cells in between all the $$ (Range B3:G6). The goal is to delete them leaving any columns to the right/left or rows above/below alone.

    I am currently using a "union" to select all the $$ but the range inbetween them is not selected. The range between the $$ is dynamic from one worksheet to another.

    Any help would be great.

    Here is an example of the table:
    # AAA BBB CCC DDD EEE FFF AAA BBB CCC
    Time A B C D E F A B C
    0 $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ 27 64 88
    0.1 7 7 18.12 0.1503 29.83 42 503 879.2 200
    0.2 7 7 18.12 0.1503 29.83 42 503 879.2 200
    0.3 $$ 7 18.12 0.1503 29.83 42 503 879.2 200

    Not sure if this helps but try using the intersect function to test if a cell is within a range.

    Hello GaidenFocus,

    Range1 is dynamic from worksheet to worksheet and the ranges will never intersect. My issue is selecting the range in between.

    Thanks for the suggestion though

    You could make the whole thing your range, and if it intersects your dynamic range, delete, or don't delete based on what that range is.

    Perhaps

    Or you could use the two argument form of Range to collect your found cells, instead of Union.
