Range.Previous (Excel)

Returns a Range object that represents the previous cell.

If the object is a range, this property emulates pressing Shift+Tab; unlike the key combination, however, the property returns the previous cell without selecting it. On a protected sheet, this property returns the previous unlocked cell. On an unprotected sheet, this property always returns the cell immediately to the left of the specified cell.

Dim rngPrevious As Range
Set rngPrevious = ActiveCell.Previous
