Hi Sally,

Try:

dblLocalReturnDiff = Abs(Abs(rng4.Offset(l, 0)) _
- Abs(rng3.Offset(l,
0)))

I have a sub that checks if the contents of cells in two rows are the same.
The cells contain numbers that are paset from another program. If they are
not the same I want to see how big the absolute difference is between the
two
cells. I do not know how to write the difference in absoulte terms, so I
need
help with that. My code is:
If rng4.Offset(l, 0) < 0 And rng3.Offset(l, 0) Then
dblLocalReturnDiff = rng4.Offset(l, 0) - rng3.Offset(l, 0)
If dblLocalReutrnDiff errorMarginal Then...
It is on the last row that I am interesetd in using the absoulte value for
the difference. Please help me!
