IsNumber ???

[Andy Collyer]

Can't find this anywhere - is there a way of checking that a string contains just digits and can therefore be converted to an integer before trying it? I thought there was an IsNumber function but evidently not. Am I just looking for the wrong thing?

TIA,

I beleive what your looking for is the isnumeric() function.

The function you looking for is IsNumeric(x) function but if later you try to convert number like 12.3 to integer it will the function

Dim int As Integer
Dim str As String
str = "12.3"
if IsNumeric(str) Then int = CInt(str)

int will be 12

Try it.

You are looking for the Isnumeric function. It is used for converting between string and numbers. It also returns true if a string can represent a number.
i.e. 1 = 1
-1 = -1
