Thanks in advance.
I have a macro where I need to get the row number from a range (like the 11 in "$G$11") becausen I will compare it with another row number later (if rownum1 < rownum2 then ...) The way I do it now is: 1 get the position of the first '$' from the right (I made a function like InStr, except it looks from the right end of string, not the left end) 2 get the right part of the string for as many chars as (total length of string - position of first '$' from left) ie for "$G$11": 1 position of first '$' from right is 3 2 length of string-position=row number length. 5-3=2, so get "11" Then I can compare "11" with another row number (like 6 or whatever). I am wondering if there is an easier way to do this, or is there a built-in command for this? I wanted to use InStr, but InStr looks for the first occurence of a string from the left, not right. I can't use right(string1,2) either because the row number might be "1" or "326" or "4355" or "65029", where the number of digits change. Any ideas? Thanks again. |
