Sub SelectRow_Col()
ThisRow = ActiveCell.Row
ThisColumn = ActiveCell.Column
ThisAddress = ActiveCell.Address
ColumnNumber = ThisColumn
ThisRow = ActiveCell.Row
ColumnLetter = Split(Cells(1, ThisColumn).Address, "$")(1)
Columns(ColumnLetter & ":" & ColumnLetter).EntireColumn.Select
Rows(ThisRow & ":" & ThisRow).EntireRow.Select
Range("D:D,8:8").Select
Range("" & ColumnLetter & ":" & ColumnLetter & "," & ThisRow & ":" &
