AppleScript Excel - Copy value of cells into variables

Question

I am super new to AppleScript, so please excuse me if I am not good at explaining what I am trying to do. I have an Excel file that has 12 columns and X rows, I need to have B2/C2/D2/etc copied into variables but have the column be a variable instead of a static number so I can write a loop to get all the rows, etc. Here is what I have now, and I know this is far from being correct.
copy value of cell "B2" to varRow
I have tried something crazy like this:
copy value of column colSection of row intRow to varSection
But that just throws up an error saying the object i am trying to access does not exist. I set the ColSection to "B" and intRow to 2, so I thought it would work. Any ideas or advice I am open! Thanks!

Answer 1

The following should give you the idea:
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
activate
make new workbook
set myCol to 3 -- the starting column
set myBgnRow to 2 -- the starting row
set myString to "Hello World" -- characters to be inserted into sheet as sample values
set myChar to 1 -- Points to first character ("H")
set myEndRow to myBgnRow + (length of myString) - 1 -- the ending row
-- Now put some values into the cells
repeat with myRow from myBgnRow to myEndRow
select (cell myCol of row myRow of active sheet)
tell cell myCol of row myRow
set value to character myChar of myString
end tell
set myChar to myChar + 1
end repeat
-- now get the values back out
-- note that this is using same myBgnRow and myEndRow as above
repeat with myRow from myBgnRow to myEndRow
select (cell myCol of row myRow of active sheet)
tell cell myCol of row myRow
set myVal to value
end tell
display dialog (myCol as text) & "," & (myRow as text) & " " & myVal
end repeat
end tell
