Excel VBA - Vlookup & range

Question

I defined Cl as range and try to assign the range from the data in a table using VLookUp .

The result obtained from VLookUp is a range address (Example: e58 ).

I am unable to assign it as a range.

Set Cl= Range ("=vlookup(i, Range("a7:b28"), 2, False)")

Answer 1

That's not how you run a formula in VBA. Some functions are available in the Application object (including VLookUp ).

Set cl = Range(Application.VLookup(i, Range("a7:b28"), 2, False))

For others use the Application.WorksheetFunction object

Set cl = Range(Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(i, Range("a7:b28"), 2, False))

Note: there are some subtle differences in the two approaches, notably on how the functions handle errors. Ant yes, you should add error handling to your code.

Side note: even if your approach did work, you would need to delimit the " 's around a7:b28 , like this

"=vlookup(i, Range(""a7:b28""), 2, False)"
