Try using the IsNumeric function in VBA.


-----Original Message-----
Excel 2002, WinXP
The macro below demonstrates what I need but my actual
situation is this:
I search a column of 100+ strings for any one of 6
strings.
I find one of the 6 strings.
Using a Select Case construct I define a numerical
criteria with which to
test the cell to the right of the found cell. The Select
Case construct is
based on which of the 6 strings was found.
This numerical criteria is in the form of a string,
i.e., "=10" or "=0" or
"<=0" or similar.
My question is: How do I apply that string criteria to
test the cell
content?
I can easily change virtually anything in how I am doing
this. Thanks for
your help. Otto

Sub Test()
Dim i As Range
Dim Crit As String
Set i = [A1] 'Found cell
Crit = "=10" 'From the Select Case
If i.Offset(, 1) ?????? Then
MsgBox "Yes"
Else
MsgBox "No"
End If
End Sub
