title: VBA: how to extract rows number
body: <p>I have a cell in excel named &quot;Start_Database&quot; in A9.</p>
  <p>I want to extract the number 9 in VBA, but I don't know how.</p>
  <p>What I do now is writing y = 9, but I would like to know an alternative way to the same task, without writing &quot;9&quot;.</p>
  <p>Can anyone solve my problem?</p>
