When you Set a variable as a range, that variable then takes the
characteristics of the range it has been set to. i.e. Set rng =
Sheets(1).Range("A1") would make rng the same as cell A1. For the value: x
= rng.Value, for the cell reference in A1 format: addr = rng.Address, to
add to another cell value: tot = rng.Value + Range("B1").Value
But, you cannot Set rng to the value or an object like: Set rng =
Range.Name(DSOCML").Value

You can Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range("DSOCML")
Then x = rng.Value 'which would be the value of a range named DSOCML
Remember all rules that apply to the range object applies to the object
variable.

Your second question is a little confusing. But if rng is equal to DSOCML
named range, then the For Each statement will look at each cell in that
range. Then if the searched cell equals the criteria, you would have the
next line of code issue a command to do, or not to do, something. I don't
comprehend "brought in" so , you would have to decide how to write the
command line.

The third question is yes. In VBA the variable must be initialized by
making it equal to something, even if it is "" or zero. Declaring the
variable in a Dim statement will reserve the memory for it until you use it
the first time:

Dim tsum As Double 'Integer with floating decimal
tsum = 35.6 'Initialize the variable with a value

Hi
Question 1
' the below line works

Set rng = sh2.Range(sh2.Cells(4, 2), sh2.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp))

' but how can i allot the data in range name "DSOCML" in to Set rng
' Can i substitute the above line like below line (now it gives error)
' Set rng = Range.Name("DSOCML").Value

Question 2
For Each cell In rng
If cell.Offset(0, 1) = Customer_lookfor then

' the above 2 lines looks for all cells in the range "DSOCML" for customer
code, so if it finds anywhere, that data is brought in, which is wrong. I
want to bring only if the customer lookfor is found in first column

Question 3
do we have to initialise zero like below
tsum = 0
xsum = 0
ysum = 0
cant we store like store 0 to tsum, xsum, ysum

Urgent folks, please help me
