The term reference in Excel, when referring to a cell or range, means the
textual description of that cell or range (the Address property of a range
object returns the range reference). In VBA and other object oriented
languages, reference also refers to variables that refer to an object, but
that's a whole nother topic. In any case, the word has a special meaning,
so I'm glad you posted more of your code to clarify what you meant :)
(1) Make sure OPTION EXPLICIT is the first line in your module, it will
alert you if VBA thinks you didn't declare a variable (i.e. you misspell a
variable name or other keyword somewhere)
(2) In InitRefs() I would use (to ensure UsedRange will be updated):
Sheets(Results).UsedRange.ENTIREROW.Offset(1).DELETE ' delete results
from previous run
OR, likely a hair faster:
Sheets(Results).Cells.Resize(-1).Offset(1).Delete ' delete results from
previous run
(3) All variables storing row or column indexes should be Long. In
LoadContangoSource() try using these declares:
dim contangoindex As Long
Dim startrawdata As Long
Dim stoprawdata As Long
Dim index As Long
In your global declares:
Public BarDate As Long
Public ConDate As Long
Public Contango As Long
Public EContango As Long '(I assume this is a row/column index)
(4) In Your problem line, you need to specifiy a range object to match in.
You are trying to use a variable holding an integer value as a property of a
worksheet, and also expecting it to return a range object when you do so.
This should work, though it will search the header row and potentially the
unused range (a reason to use range variables and define the exact range
needed in advance since it is time consuming to create range objects
repeatedly):
startrawdata =
WorksheetFunction.Match(Sheets(ContangoSource).Cells(2,
ConDate).Value, Sheets(RawData).Columns(BarDate), 0)
(5) In your rawdata loop, there is no need for parenthesis around the
boolean expression. VBA will always evaluate the entire expression between
If/Then separately from the rest of the If/Then statement. I haven't
analyzed your loop too closely, but you can consider if you could use
Range.Find or WorksheetFunction.Match instead of looping through the whole
range. If that would result in fewer iterations it could be significantly
faster.

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.
' Column reference objects
Public BarDate As Double
Public ConDate As Double
Public Contango As Long
Public EContango As Double 'the expanded set of contango values

' Sheet names and pointers
Const RawData As String = "RawData"
Const Results As String = "Results"
Const ContangoSource As String = "ContangoSource"
Sub InitRefs()

' Sub which sets the data column names and misc values for the RawData sheet
'
With Sheets(RawData)
BarDate = WorksheetFunction.Match("BarDate", .Rows(1), 0)
End With
With Sheets(ContangoSource)
ConDate = WorksheetFunction.Match("ConDate", .Rows(1), 0)
Contango = WorksheetFunction.Match("Contango", .Rows(1), 0)
End With
Sheets(Results).UsedRange.Offset(1).ClearContents ' clear out
results from previous run
End Sub
Sub LoadContangoSource()
' Sub which takes the data from the ContangoSource sheet which is per day
and
' copies it to the RawData sheet with entries for each of the bars.
Dim contangoindex As Integer
Dim startrawdata As Double
Dim stoprawdata As Double
Dim index As Integer
contangoindex = 2
stoprawdata = Sheets(RawData).UsedRange.Rows.Count 'end of the
RawData columns THE LINE THAT RETURNS 999999
' Determine where the index in ContangSource is of the first date
that matches the first date in RawData
startrawdata =
WorksheetFunction.Match(Sheets(ContangoSource).Cells(2,
ConDate).Value, Sheets(RawData).BarDate, 0) THE FAILING MATCH
' Now loop through the RawData entries copying the contango value as
many times as needed for the matching dates in RawData.
' Since RawData can be from charts with any interval there may be
many entries for each matching ContangoSource date.
For index = startrawdata To stoprawdata
If (Sheets(RawData).Cells(index, BarDate).Value =
Sheets(ContangoSource).Cells(contangoindex, ConDate).Value) Then
Sheets(RawData).Cells(index, EContango).Value =
Sheets(ContangoSource).Cells(contangoindex, Contango).Value
Else
contangoindex = contangoindex + 1
End If
Next index
End Sub
