Extract Characters
 

I am trying to Extract characters out of a string and
include them in a file name by using

Dim sName As String
sName = (Left(B1, 3) & Right(B1, 2))

But this does not work.

Any ideas as to what is wrong?

Thanks

sName = (Left(range("B1"), 3) & Right(range("B1"), 2))

or better:

Function sName (rngS as range) as string 'or variant
Dim sName As String
sName = (Left(rngS, 3) & Right(rngS, 2))
end Function
