This is a clean code question:
I have always been taught that after setting a range in vba code, that to free up resources I need to reset the range object back to Nothing after I have used it (eg Set MyRange = Nothing). However, when I set a range in the return value of function I do not seem to have an opportunity to do the clean-up.

Code:
Sub Test()
    Dim MyRange as Range
    Set MyRange = TestRange("A1:C3")
    'Do Things
    Set MyRange = Nothing
End Sub
    
Function TestRange(a as String) as Range
    Set TestRange = Range(a)
End Function

In the example above I am able to reset MyRange to Nothing, but What about TestRange? Does it not also have to be reset?

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
TestRange isn't a variable.
