Worksheet.Columns property (Excel)

Returns a Range object that represents all the columns on the specified worksheet.

Syntax

expression.Columns

expression A variable that represents a Worksheet object.

Remarks

Using the Columns property without an object qualifier is equivalent to using ActiveSheet.Columns. If the active document isn't a worksheet, the Columns property fails.

To return a single column, use the Item property or equivalently include an index in parentheses. For example, Columns(1), Columns("A"), Columns.Item(1) and Columns.Item("A") return the first column of the active sheet.

Example

This example formats the font of column one (column A) on Sheet1 as bold.

Worksheets("Sheet1").Columns(1).Font.Bold = True
