    Set range then add values to existing values

    I have code the defines a dynamic range then for all cells in that range I want to add the same value but I do NOT want to overwrite the existing numbers. The following code is similar to what I currently have except the range is not dynamic as this is just an example:

    Code:
    Sub test()
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim mynumber As Integer
    
    mynumber = 10
    Set rng = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(10, 1))
    
    rng.value = mynumber
    
    End Sub
    Obviously this just makes all cells in range rng equal to 10 (overwrites existing values). I also tried:

    Code:
    Sub test()
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim mynumber As Integer
    
    mynumber = 10
    Set rng = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(10, 1))
    
    rng = rng + mynumber
    
    End Sub
    But just get a "type mismatch" error. I was playing around with some way of copying the existing numbers in the range, pastespecial values somewhere else, then do rng = mynumber then copy/pastespecial add values the original numbers back but this seems a very messy way of doing things. There must be a simple way of just adding to the existing values that I am missing!

    Thanks

    Re: Set range then add values to existing values

    you can do a for each cell in the range
    Code:
    For Each c In rng
     c.Value = c + mynumber
    Next
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
