You need to pass it back thru the name:

Public Function GetNum(num As Variant) As String
GetNum = "01234567"
End Function

Hi
Passing the contents of the array element to the function works, the
function does its job but returns "" to the array.
It has to be something simple that I'm missing but it escapes me for now.
Any help would be appreciated.

Dim j As Long, realLastRow as Long
Dim tbl2 As Variant

tbl2 = Range(Cells(2, "A"), Cells(realLastRow, "A"))
For j = LBound(tbl2, 1) To UBound(tbl2, 1)
tbl2(j, 1) = GetNum(tbl2(j, 1))
Next j
Range(Cells(2, "A"), Cells(realLastRow, "A")) = tbl2

Public Function GetNum(num As Variant) As String
'''do something
num = "01234567"
End Function
