hello~

I am looking for the proper method to compare non-numeric (text) vals to
numeric vals.
Is there a way to modify the script so that if cell.Value was a text val it
could be
interpreted as a numeric val?
Something like: Number(cell.Value) in my script:

If cell.Offset(0, -1) < cell.Value And Not _

DJS,

The Val function will return 0 if the cell value is non-numeric.
So if...Range("A1").Value = 10 and Range("A2").Value = "Butter"

Dim x as Double
x = (Range("A1").Value - Val(Range("A2").Value ))

(x will equal 10)

I'm not quite sure if you mean compare 1 with "one" or 1 with "1a".

If you mean the latter, take a look at Val.

e.g. 21 = Val("21 tum ti tum") would evaluate to true.
