I have variable that is declared as Long. When I use the
variable in an If statement such as
"If cells(r,c)=variable then"
I get the cell as a number but the variable insists on
appearing in quotes, indicating a string. As a result
the If statement comes out false.

Example If 2501 = "2501" then is false
How can I ensure that the variable is represented as a
number in the if statement so that thje answer is True?
