Property Value

A Range object that represents one or more columns on the worksheet.

Remarks

Parameter

Description

RowIndex

The index of one or more columns to get.

To get a single column, pass one of the following objects to this parameter:

  • An integer that specifies the index of the column you want to get. The column indexes begin at 1.

  • A string that consists of the letter of the column you want to get.

To get multiple contiguous columns, pass a string with the format "first column letter:last column letter". For example, to get columns A through E, pass "A:E".

Note

The name of this parameter is misleading; this parameter specifies the indexes of the columns you want to get, not the rows.

ColumnIndex

Do not use this parameter. This property will throw a COMException if you try to pass a value to this parameter.
