I’m trying to use GetCell but I want to use a variable in the rowNum.
If I put a text “8” in, the routine works fine.
But if I put at Variable (with the value of 8) in it instead of a Text “8” I get UNDEFINED returned.
Thoughts?

Ok, not convinced that I did the test right… Maybe it does work… grrr

This is very strange. Neither with a variable, nor with a literal problem, it should not be.

I’m sure I’m wrong… Forget it…
