Thanks for your advice. I think we deviated a bit from the topic. I m looking for a alternative referencing technique used in the macro code that I have pasted in my email. The problem is that the code uses R1C1 referencing style.can we change it?
The solution provided is good to use if we don't want to give a specific name to the range in question.
