Look at the ADDRESS function and see if that does what you want.

Hi,

At work we often paste multiple reports into excel. These reports are
always different sizes. I've created a search function which allows me
to to identify exactly where the report has been pasted. The function
also gathers information about where the report starts and stops. The
problem I'm having is being able to use variables within the Vlookup
function within Excel.

This is what I would like to do:


Dim Column1 as interger
Dim row1 as interger
Dim Column2 as interger
Dim row2 as interger
Dim Column3 as interger
Dim row3 as interger

{Program then assigns values to these varibles based upon the search
conducted.}

then this is what I can't figure out:

What's the syntax for passing my varibles into the vlookup
function?

' I've tried this, and it doesn't work.

=vlookup(cells(row1, column1), cells(row2, column2):cells(row3,
column3),9,false)

How come this won't work?

What I'm hoping to achieve is a dynamically adjusting vlookup field
based upon the inputs from the variables, but I can't seem to get the
syntax correct.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!!



Thanx,


Angusrocks.
