I have a number of String variables
strCustomer
StrAddress1
etc

These are defined via a UF and I want to use a list of the variable names to get the variable value

E.g.
B1 to show the strCustomer variable value where A1 contains the string strCustomer
B2 to show the strAddress1 variable value where A2 contains the string strAddress1

I thought using some thing like the following would work
VBA Code:
Range("B1") = Variable(range("A1"))

The code to add the variable values to the worksheet take place outside the UF code after the UF has been unloaded.

TIA

Last used cell?
Press Ctrl+End to move to what Excel thinks is the last used cell.
That won't work unless you load the variables into a dictionary using the key as the variable name, or use a class with properties for each variable. Why would you want to do this?

I am trying to keep code down to a minimum so looping through a list of the variable 'names' to get a value is tidier than having IF statements with lots of ANDs.

Basically, the UF holds customer details and rather than checking if the customer name, address 1, city and postcode added, I want to loop through and if the string is flagged as required, it checks there is a value assigned to the string.

Not a biggie if it's not possible though but I thought as you can do this with UF controls, you might be able to do it with variables.

It sounds like you should be using a class to me and putting the validation code in there.
