Hi Jim, you have to use the Val function as it returns the numbers contained in a string as a numeric value of appropriate type.
For example: Tier1 = Val(Range("$H$743")) or that way I prefer this method: Tier1 = Val(Cells(743, 8).Value (the 8 represents the H as the 8th letter in alphabet.) Good luck.
