Examples

The following code example demonstrates different ways to use the Range property to access a single cell or multiple cells.

This example is for a document-level customization.

private void CompareRangeUsage()
{
    // The following line of code specifies a single cell.
    this.Range["A1"].Value2 = "Range 1";

    // The following line of code specifies multiple cells.
    this.Range["A3", "B4"].Value2 = "Range 2";

    // The following line of code uses an Excel.Range for 
    // the second parameter of the Range property.
    Excel.Range range1 = this.Range["C8"];
    this.Range["A6", range1].Value2 = "Range 3";
}

Private Sub CompareRangeUsage()
    ' The following line of code specifies a single cell.
    Me.Range("A1").Value2 = "Range 1"

    ' The following line of code specifies multiple cells.
    Me.Range("A3", "B4").Value2 = "Range 2"

    ' The following line of code uses an Excel.Range for 
    ' the second parameter of the Range property.
    Dim range1 As Excel.Range = Me.Range("C8")
    Me.Range("A6", range1).Value2 = "Range 3"
End Sub

Remarks

The Range property is intended to be used with the following parameters.

Parameter Description

Cell1 The name of the range in A1-style notation in the language of the application. It can include the range operator (a colon), the intersection operator (a space), or the union operator (a comma). It can also include dollar signs, but they are ignored. You can use a local defined name in any part of the range. If you use a name, the name is assumed to be in the language of the application. This parameter is required.

Cell2 The cell in the lower-right corner of the range. Can be a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range that contains a single cell, an entire column, an entire row, or it can be a string that names a single cell in the language of the application. This parameter is optional in Visual Basic.

Parameter	Description
`Cell1`	The name of the range in A1-style notation in the language of the application. It can include the range operator (a colon), the intersection operator (a space), or the union operator (a comma). It can also include dollar signs, but they are ignored. You can use a local defined name in any part of the range. If you use a name, the name is assumed to be in the language of the application. This parameter is required.
`Cell2`	The cell in the lower-right corner of the range. Can be a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range that contains a single cell, an entire column, an entire row, or it can be a string that names a single cell in the language of the application. This parameter is optional in Visual Basic.

If you attempt to use Range without specifying any parameters, Range will get a <xref:Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Worksheet._RangeType> object that is part of the Visual Studio infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
