Return Max Value of given Variables
 
I have ten variables in my code, and I need to return which variable is the
highest, and what its name is.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Return Max Value of given Variables
 
You would have to compare one against the other. You could use an array
instead and use the worksheet MAX function on it.

Return Max Value of given Variables
 
I'm currently sending the variable values to the sheet and then comparing any
irregularities against the set's Mode. I would rather have this run in the
code and not be present in any of the sheet's real estate.

i.e.
x=2
y=2
z=3
Dim Greatest as String
Greatest = 'code returns "z" as greatest value
msgbox (Greatest) & "is the greatest variable",0,"Variable Info"

So, are you going to test one against another or use an array?

I guess I could write a fairly long set of logical tests, but I was wondering
if there is a quicker way.
