title: i need interpretation of activecell.offset in vba
body: <p>I have some difficulty in understanding some VBA code. I have no problem with</p>
  
  <pre><code>activecell.offset(1,1).select
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I have problem with</p>
  
  <pre><code>activecell.offset(1,1).range("A1").select 
  
  AND
  
  ActiveCell.Offset(0, 3).Columns("A:A").EntireColumn.Select
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why is there a .range("A1") there? Why is there a .columns there? I read some other post saying that these things are not necessary. But I wrote some code using the same format, replacing .range("A1") with some other range and yielded a different results. Could you please explain these things to me? I mean the .range("A1") after offset. I inherited the code from someone else trying to understand. </p>
