subscript out of range error on cell reference

Question

I don't understand why this has an error :

Dim h As String
h = Worksheets("beans").range("O11").Value.Offset(ref_count, 0)

ref_count is used in a loop, h is passed elsewhere in the program. I am getting a run time error 9 subscript out of range error and I don't understand why

please help me.

thanks.

Answer 1

So your current code is trying to offset a value.

This is not possible.

You need to offset the range and fetch the value from this new location. You were close but not quite there.

The code should look like this:

Dim h As String
h = Worksheets("beans").range("o11").Offset(ref_count, 0).Value
