Wouldn't it be advisable to avoid using a lower case "L" for, say, a loop when it (l) looks too much like the number 1?
 

Excel Facts

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Code does not care. When posting to a forum or your own code, one might get confused. I tend to avoid it myself. From old Fortran coding methods, we used i, j, k as integer counters. When I get to that one, I use, m, or ii, jj, kk, etc. It would be more clear if you dimmed it as L, so that case would be retained.
