current region

Try this code, in the worksheet module

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim rgSelect As Range, rgStart As Range, rgEnd As Range

If Len(Cells(Target.Row, 2)) > 0 Then
    Set rgStart = Cells(Target.Row, 2)
Else
    Set rgStart = Cells(Target.Row, 2).End(xlUp)
End If

If Len(Cells(Target.Row, 6)) = 0 Then
    Set rgEnd = Cells(Target.Row, 8)
Else
    If Len(Cells(rgStart.Row + 1, 6)) = 0 Then
        Set rgEnd = Cells(rgStart.Row + 1, 8)
    Else
        Set rgEnd = Cells(rgStart.Row, 6).End(xlDown).Offset(1, 2)
    End If
End If

Set rgSelect = Range(rgStart, rgEnd)

MsgBox rgSelect.Address

End Sub

Hello Svgmassive,

Strictly following your tamplate this code should work (I've also attached a spreadsheet with the code already implemented).

Please note that the address of the "colored range" selected will appear in the status bar to avoid a annoying message box.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim nTop As Long
    Dim nLeft As Long
    Dim nBottom As Long
    Dim nRight As Long
    
    If Target.Interior.ColorIndex <> -4142 Then
        While Target.Offset(nTop, nLeft).Interior.ColorIndex = Target.Interior.ColorIndex And Target.Column - nLeft > 1
            nLeft = nLeft - 1
        Wend
        If Target.Column - nLeft > 1 Then
            nLeft = nLeft + 1
        End If
        
        While Target.Offset(nTop, nLeft).Interior.ColorIndex = Target.Interior.ColorIndex And Target.Row - nTop > 1
            nTop = nTop - 1
        Wend
        If Target.Row - nTop > 1 Then
            nTop = nTop + 1
        End If

        While Target.Offset(nBottom, nRight).Interior.ColorIndex = Target.Interior.ColorIndex
            nBottom = nBottom + 1
        Wend
        nBottom = nBottom - 1
        
        While Target.Offset(nBottom, nRight).Interior.ColorIndex = Target.Interior.ColorIndex
            nRight = nRight + 1
        Wend
        nRight = nRight - 1
        
        Application.StatusBar = "Colored range selected: " & Me.Range(Target.Offset(nTop, nLeft), Target.Offset(nBottom, nRight)).Address
        
    Else
        Application.StatusBar = False
    
    End If
End Sub

agneau your example uses the cell color but that only work if the cell has color,nutsch example looks at the last number in column f it should be actually be looking at the last date in column b and the and the last number in column f  if there is a missing date eg.last date entry.Thanks

Hi Svgmassive,

I'm not sure if I understood your requirements.
In order to get the current region, Excel implements a native property of the range object called CurrentRegion

msgbox Cells(4,6).CurrentRegion.Address

Select allOpen in new window

According to Excel documentation a "the current region is a range bounded by any combination of blank rows and blank columns."

Depending on the layout of your spreadhseet this would be the easiest way to code it. However your range examples contain blank columns (C, E, G and H) that prevent the CurrentRegion property to obtain the addresses you need.

I would suggest to redesign the spreadsheet layout to make use of CurrentRegion property, if this is not possible you need to clarify what is the logical organization of your spreadsheet:

Are columns C, E, G, H always empty?
How many "wekends"can exist in a single range?
How many "days" can exist in a single range?
Can more than one row of "emp id" column be empty? (or just one to limite the boundaries of the range)

Regards
