    assigning a Variant variable to an integer

    I am assigning the result of a vlookup to a variable that is defined as Variant. I then need to use that variable in a calculation.

    This fails with a run 13 type mismatch

    So how do I use x in a calculation?

    Hello jartzh,

    If the value is not found by VLookup then it returns an error. A Variant can be hold a worksheet error which is not an integer. The function will error if the contents of B335 can not be assigned to an integer value. You should check that the value before you attempt to add the numbers. I have change the code to check that the number is an integer.

    Hey Leith,
    One little thing.

    Msgbox shows the value as 312.2 (which is valid, its $312.20).
    but the check for decimal doesnt find it:

    never shows that msgbox . So it doesnt consider 312.2 as a vbdecimal. I tried vblong,vbshort...

    Any ideas?

    vbDecimal is not what you think; see Help for Decimal data type and VarType Constants

    Try vbDouble.
