If he didn't go backwards, that code would reverse the text, so you would
get __rcm ,llx ,lgg__ instead of __ggl, xcll, mcr__

Maybe this function can help you:


'------------------------------------------------------
Function removeVowel(VowelWord As String) As String


Dim NoVowelWord As String


For L = Len(VowelWord) To 1 Step -1
If Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "a" Or _
Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "e" Or _
Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "i" Or _
Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "o" Or _
Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "u" Then
Else
NoVowelWord = Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) & NoVowelWord
End If
Next L


removeVowel = NoVowelWord


End Function
'------------------------------------------------------


It returns the word without vowels

How to remove vowels from words? Fpr example, in one row we have
google, excell, macro,... and the result in another row is ggl, xcll,
mcr,... Thanks.


Why is the loop stepping backwards?


Only because he is appending to the output string backwards too. Just
seems a bit odd.
