Assign the numeric value of a cell to an integer variable

Question

I have numeric values on specific cells, the cell's row and column are known. I want to assign the numeric values in these cells to an integer variable in my code that I could then modify and use to update the same cell.

I have tried using the following codes but they did not work because when I add my variables to watch, the value of my variables remained as 0 even the cells have non zero numbers.

    Dim GetTableCount as Integer

    GetTableCount = Cells(17, 13).value        
    GetTableCount = CInt(Cells(17, 13).value)  
    GetTableCount = Range(M17)
    GetTableCount = Range(M17).value 
    GetTableCount = CInt(Range(M17).value)
    GetTableCount = CInt(Range(M17))

I have also tried using the index function but I failed on looking up the right syntax. My last attempt to solve the problem is to specify the cells to "Numbers" format instead of "General" but still nothing.

Answer 1

It turns out that

anyintvar = Cells(row, column)

works but the code is reading it from a different worksheet so the value remains at 0, with the cell from wherever sheet the code is reading seems to be empty.

Even though I had these lines for sheet selections

Sheets("ADMIN").Visible = True

Sheets("ADMIN").Select

the code still does not read from the selected sheet.

Using this however:

GetTableCount = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("ADMIN").Cells(rownumber, columnnumber)

fixed the problem. I did not even have to write the pervious two lines anymore. Kudos to @jpinto3912 Page where I found the solution
