using match in vba without assigning a cell
I am trying to use the match function to assign a value to a variable.
I do not want to put the match syntax in a cell. I just want the result to be able to be referred to later in an If then statement. I have tried: startbase = Match(begbase, "a:a") but that does not work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA |

using match in vba without assigning a cell
dim sb as variant
sb = application.match(begbase,worksheets("sheet1").ran ge("a2:a20")) or for an exact match sb = application.match(begbase,worksheets("sheet1").ran ge("a2:a20"),0) Papa Jonah wrote: I am trying this: sb=application.match(begbase,a2:a20) and not having any success.
