Oops,
Here's the correction:
Dim lngNumber&, dblNumber As Double
Dim sngNumber As Single
ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 3) = "1234-xl-2003"
lngNumber = CLng(Left$(ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 10).Value, 4))
dblNumber = CDbl(Left$(ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 10).Value, 4))
sngNumber = CSng(Left$(ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 10).Value, 4))
ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 3) = CStr(lngNumber)
ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Cells(3, 3) = CStr(dblNumber)
ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Cells(4, 3) = CStr(sngNumber)

Hi Jim,
I'm sorry, but I put your code below my goto statment and
commented one then the other and tried running them and I
got runtime error 424 on each. This one had lngNumber
active:
Application.Goto Reference:=Worksheets("Sheet1").Range
("B8")
lngNumber = CLng(Left$(ThisWorkSheet.Cells
("B8").Value, 4))
'dblNumber = CDbl(Left$(ThisWorkSheet.Cells
("B8").Value, 4))
'sngNumber = CSng(Left$(ThisWorkSheet.Cells
("B8").Value, 4))
What am I doing wrong? Sorry but I am just learning this
stuff.
Thanks!
Shauna

sngNumber = CSng(Left$(ThisWorkSheet.Cells("B8").Value,
4))
Hope that helps.

If I have a specific cell say on Sheet1!B8 that I want
to
go to and use the left function on, in VB coding how do
I
do this?
What I have is the user picks a Vendor number - Name
item
from ComboBox3 and it inserts into cell Sheet1!B8 but
then
once inserted I want to remove the text leaving only the
numbers.
Eg. In List: 1000 - Company Name
Result desired: 1000
It is always 4 digits, a space, a dash, a space, then a
name, so the length is always 4.
So I had the macro go to the cell via:
Application.Goto Reference:=Worksheets("Sheet1").Range
("B8")
Which goes correctly and selects the cell, but how to I
then say - with the current contents remove all but the
4
left most characters?
Sorry, I am new at VB.
Thanks!
