Thank you for your response, but I am still getting the third cell down
from
the start of the range instead of the third item in the range.

Hi,

you don't need a loop.

try something like this:

Dim myRange As Range
Set myRange = Range("rng")
MsgBox myRange(3).Value

where rng is the named range on the worksheet.

I am trying to get to a certain place in a range, for example the 3rd
item.
If the range consists of three cells A1, A10, A20 and I use
Number = 3
s = Selection(Number).Address
v = Selection(Number).Value
then I get to cell A3 (third from the start) instead of A20 (which is
what I
want)

Can I get to a certain place without using a loop?
Thanks in advance
