Default Message Box "Value"


Hi All,
I have written a macro to do several calculations in several sheets.
Now I want to put the answer in a message box. The answer is in a
defined field. All I am trying to do is "the answer is" & "here I want
to give address of the defined filed"
How can I do that?
Thanks for ur help.
Syed

Do you mean

MsgBox "The answer is in A1"

or

MsgBox "The answer is " & Range("A1").Value

Hi Bob,
I tried following:
MsgBox "The Average is" & Sheet3!Range("p2").Value
It says 'Object required'

you extract the value from Sheet3 at p2 cell, it should
sheets("Sheet3").Range("p2").Value


try this

MsgBox "The Average is" & sheets("Sheet3").Range("p2").Value

Thank you Anil it is working. How can I restrict decimal places, it is
giving me all 14 decimal places. Is there a format syntax?
Thank you

Yes use
format(sheets("Sheet3").Range("p2").Value,"#.##")
this will give two decimal places

MsgBox "The Average is" &
format(sheets("Sheet3").Range("p2").Value,"#.##")
