I usually built up a range using Union and then select it:
Sub a()
Dim Counter As Integer
Dim Rg As Range
Set Rg = ActiveCell
For Counter = 1 To 10
Set Rg = Union(Rg, ActiveCell.Offset(Counter * 2))
Next
Rg.Select
End Sub
Jon, here is one way
Range("2:2,6:6,11:11,16:16,20:20").NumberFormat = "0.00_);[Red](0.00)"
