Excelchat Expert
01/12/2017 - 08:28
to test.
User
01/12/2017 - 08:28
ah. we could limit the number to 250 rows if that helps
Excelchat Expert
01/12/2017 - 08:28
Can you give me a fixed range and then you can change it later.

I would yse.
Excelchat Expert
01/12/2017 - 09:07
yes.
Excelchat Expert
01/12/2017 - 09:07
Because there is code specific to that document.
Excelchat Expert
01/12/2017 - 09:07
If you wanted to do this on another file, you would have to transfer the code over to the VBA developer.
