Variables

What is the "SET" command used for when using variables?

Thanks

RE: Variables

Hi Dean

Thank you for your question

The set command is used when allocating a value to an object variable. There are two types of variable. Simple value variables such as strings or integers, take a single value and those values can be allocated without a set command.

For example

strName = "Fred"

Object variables can be set to represent real objects and can then be used to set various propeties of the object

Hence

SET SheetVar = Activesheet

Excel tip:

##### displaying in Excel

When you get a series of hash symbols (####) appearing in some of your cells in a spreadsheet, this can make you think that you've make some kind of mistake.

This is a common misconception - what this actually means is that the cell is not wide enough to fully display the content of the cell.

All you need to do to see what is actually in the cell is to widen the column that the cell is in.
