Thumbs up Answer: Check if variable is range

To check if a variant variable is a range, you can use the VBA function TypeName. Here's an example:

Formula:
Sub CheckIfRange()
    
Dim myVar As Variant
    Set myVar 
Range("A1:B2")
    
    If 
TypeName(myVar) = "Range" Then
        MsgBox 
"The variable is a range."
    
Else
        
MsgBox "The variable is not a range."
    
End If
End Sub 
In this example, we create a variant variable called myVar and set it equal to a range of cells. We then use the TypeName function to check if myVar is a range. If it is, we display a message box saying so. If it's not, we display a message box saying that it's not a range.
  1. Create a variant variable called myVar.
  2. Set myVar equal to a range of cells using the Range function.
  3. Use the TypeName function to check if myVar is a range.
  4. Display a message box indicating whether or not myVar is a range.

Note that the TypeName function will return the data type of any variable, not just ranges. So if you want to check for other data types, you can modify the code accordingly.
