I didn't use evaluate in this code. I don't think I've ever used it to retrieve
a value from a range. But I have used it to get the value from a name.

But in the other thread, I wanted to show the difference between the
evaluate(...value) and just .value.

(=2000 and 2000, for instance)

Dave,

I've not used "Evaluate" often for ranges. Are there times when it's
required?

Thanks

Dim TestRng as range

set testrng = nothing
on error resume next
set testrng = "PlanDate" & "1"
on error goto 0

if testrng is nothing then
'not a valid range name
else
msgbox testrng.cells(1).value
end if

You have another response at your earlier thread, too.

I guess I wasn't clear with my question.

I'd like to display the value of the range that has the following range name
="PlanDate" & 1
for example.
How do I do that?

I have this in cell A1:

="PlanMonth" & row()
I'd like to display the range name that matches "PlanMonth1". How do I do
that?
