Is there a simple way to return a variable's name? If I type in 'msgbox varname(MyVar)' I'd like it to return 'MyVar'. It sounds a bit silly but I need the code to do a Select Case depending on which array was passed to it.

Many thanks

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.

There's no simple way to do this that I know of. What are you trying to do?
