Hi all

a little question for you:

Can a macro use a rule (a=0 and b<3 or c+5 = d) writen in the sheet?

I think it must be something like eval(CStr(rule)).

Grrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaazie!

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.
Hi

I'm assuming that a,b and d are defined names. c will have to be something else as it is reserved (cc perhaps). Also you will have to change the "rule" to be in excel format so if

A6: OR(AND(a=0,b<3),cc+5 = d)

Code:
rule = range("a6")
msgbox evaluate(rule)
