Item Property (Range Object)

         Example         Applies To

Returns a Range object that represents a range at an offset to the specified range. Read-only.

Syntax 1

expression.Item(RowIndex, ColumnIndex)

Syntax 2

expression.Item(RowIndex)

expression   Required. An expression that returns a Range object.

RowIndex   Syntax 1: Required Variant. The row number of the cell you want to access, starting with 1 for the first row in the range.

Syntax 2: Required Variant. The index number of the cell you want to access, in order from left to right, then down. Range.Item(1) returns the upper-left cell in the range; Range.Item(2) returns the cell immediately to the right of the upper-left cell.

ColumnIndex   Optional Variant. A number or string that indicates the column number of the cell you want to access, starting with either 1 or "A" for the first column in the range.

Remarks

Syntax 1 uses a row number and a column number or letter as index arguments. For more information about this syntax, see the Range object.The RowIndex and ColumnIndex arguments are relative offsets. In other words, specifying a RowIndex of 1 returns cells in the first row of the range, not the first row of the worksheet. For example, if the selection is cell C3, Selection.Cells(2, 2) returns cell D4 (you can use the Item property to index outside the original range).
