Hi, I am trying to execute this function to return the column number of a heading. However although the value is correctly 3 when it reaches the end of the function it becomes 0 when I set it to iFund2Col after leaving the function. What am I doing wrong here? Sub test() Dim iFund2Col As Integer Dim ws As Worksheet Dim wb As Workbook Set wb = Workbooks.Open("H:\\fnd_CRLQRPT020130424.xls") Set ws = wb.Worksheets(1) If (iFund2Col = GetHeadingColumnNumber(ws, "Fund")) < 0 Then MsgBox "ERROR" End If End Sub Function GetHeadingColumnNumber(ByVal ws As Worksheet, sHeading As String) As Integer Dim rg As Range Dim iColumnNumber As Integer GetHeadingColumnNumber = -1 Set rg = Nothing On Error Resume Next Set rg = ws.Range("1:1").Find(What:=sHeading, LookAt:=xlWhole) On Error GoTo ERROR_HANDLER If rg Is Nothing Then Err.Raise -99, "GetHeadingColumnNumber", "Unable to find heading: " & sHeading & "in worksheet:" & ws.Name End If GetHeadingColumnNumber = rg.Column Exit Function ERROR_HANDLER: ErrorHandler Err End Function
