I get an error when I try to use MATCH from the immediate window:

?Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(0.2,A1:A10,1) A1:A10 contains a sequential range of numbers from -.2 to 0.5 . I get a compile error "Expected list separator or )". From Excel help, this seems to be the correct syntax. What am I missing?

Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
It seems that the help examples only work on a spreadsheet, not from VBA. VBA requires a range.This works:

?Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(0.2,Worksheets("Sheet1").range("A1:A10"),1)

Change that to

Application.Match(0.2,Range("A1:A10"),1)

It's a little more reliable than using the WorksheetFunction

You can also fix the problem by changing your quotations to brackets:

Application.Match(0.2, [A1:B10], 0)
