Question

Are there something like pointers in VBA?

I’m trying to make an excel macro, and want a simple variable to keep track of column count. wst.UsedRange.Columns.Count takes up a lot of space every time I need it, and I’d like to just replace that with a simple name like last_col.

Answer 1

There are but not in a way useful in your situation (or much else beyond special cases), why not

public function ccount() as long
   ccount = wst.UsedRange.Columns.Count
end function

or set a global variable reference to wst.UsedRange.Columns and read var.count as needed.
