# CellRange

# Members

# from

Source code (opens new window)

cellRange.from : CellCoords

Usually the same as highlight, but in Excel there is distinction - one can change highlight within a selection.

# highlight

Source code (opens new window)

cellRange.highlight : CellCoords

Used to draw bold border around a cell where selection was started and to edit the cell when you press Enter. The highlight cannot point to headers (negative values) so its coordinates object is normalized while assigning.

# to

cellRange.to : CellCoords

End selection.
