Hi,

I just noticed something about assigning worksheet values to vba variables.

age1 = Worksheets("Inputs").Range("Age")

is the same as

age1 = Worksheets("Inputs").Range("Age").value

I guess if the .value is missing it uses the default? Doesn't it seem better to throw an error in this case?

Thanks

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney

Correct

Not to me. There are lots of things both in vba and worksheet formulas that have defaults. Although it might be clearer if everything had to be specified, it would be much more cumbersome & time-consuming.
