Cell selection by macro

[bpeirson]

I have a macro which selectas a predefined set of rows on a worksheet. I would like to know how to have this macro select only those rows appearing above the first empty row or above the row with a certain value in column A.

Any tips are appreciated.

Try the following, this looks at cell D4 for a value and then looks down column A for the first occurence and selects all the rows above.

targetvalue = Cells(1, 4).Value
endrow = Columns("A:A&quot.Find(targetvalue).Row
Rows("1:" & endrow).Select

If you define a name (Ctrl-F3), for example MyRange, as:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A))
MyRange will always refer to the filled cells from A1 downwards, and you can refer directly to it in VB, by
Range("MyRange&quot.Select
See other threads in this forum, and John Walkenbach's site (and many others) for dynamic named ranges (that is what MyRange is in this example).
Good luck!

Thanks, I was somewhat on track with ab123456's solution but I couldn't figure out the specific syntax of the Rows("1:" & endrow).

I just recently started working with named ranges. The dynamic named range is new to me, looks like a powerful tool, thanks joerd.
