RE: Excel VBA variable type

Hi Anna

Thanks for your question

I am assuming you are refering to the name of a worksheet, rather than the worksheet object itself.

A worksheet's name is always a string. This is because it is the worksheet's key property which is used to identify it.
Thus, your variable should be a string.

Regards
Stephen
