My current code reads:


Select Case Cells(i, 8)
Case "ABC", "DEF", "GHI"
......
End select

Since I have different of these cases I wonder if it is possible to use a
variable as follows:


Dim CaseVariable as variant
Set CaseVariable= "ABC"
Select Case Cells(i, 8)
Case CaseVariable
......
End select

So far I cannot get this working. Is it possible? Please advise.

Hello Beertje
Declare your variable as String and may be constant as well:
Const CaseVariable As String = "ABC"
Select Case Cells(i,8)
Case CaseVariable
'....

"ABC", "DEF", "GHI"

Dunno if this could be useful in your case but anyway:
Dim CaseVariable(0 To 2)
CaseVariable(0) = "ABC"
CaseVariable(1) = "DEF"
CaseVariable(2) = "GHI"
Select Case Cells(1, 8)
Case CaseVariable(0) To CaseVariable(2)
MsgBox "match found"
End Select

Got it working.
thx
using
Case casevar(1), casevar(2), casevar(3), casevar(4)
works better, since I can then have also an empty string.
