Hi guys,

I have Name (let say myName) that I am adding value (let say myValue). This is not the range, I want it to hold the value itself (which is name of another workbook for later use in VBA). In the name manager myName shows correct value, but when in VBA I am trying to assign myName.value to the variable, instead of having "myValue" i am getting "="myValue"", therefore it crashes further code.

Any idea, how to get around it?

Thank you

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Presuming its a single cell named range you need:

Code:
Range("myName").Value

You could use Evaluate like this:

Code:
Evaluate("myName")

or just:

Code:
[myName]

Code:
Evaluate("myName")

or just:

Code:
[myName]

[myName] didn't work, but Evaluate did the trick. I got brain lock and forgot about Evaluate :)

Thank you.
