This works With Sheets(RawData) Set tmprange = .Range(.Cells(2, BarOpen), .Cells(stoprawdata, EContango)) End With but this which seems equivalent to me does not work Set tmprange = Sheets(RawData).Range(.Cells(2, BarOpen), .Cells(stoprawdata, EContango)) which gives error invalid or unqualified reference and highlights the first .Cells This also compiles fine If Sheets(RawData).Cells(index, BarDate).Value and this stoprawdata = Sheets(RawData).UsedRange.Rows.count so I assume it is something to do with the Set?
