No not a range object, just a reference.   But here is the entire
program.  I removed the currently unused portions and ignore Public
just have not bothered to change that yet.

    Public ConDate As Double

    contangoindex = 2

    startrawdata =

'   Now loop through the RawData entries copying the contango value as
many times as needed for the matching dates in RawData.

many entries for each matching ContangoSource date.
