I'd like to loop through a large number of variables that don't have
common prefixes or suffixes.   So I'd like to create a loop that goes
through all variables in a range (e.g. Var1-New7 where the variables
are Var1 Var2 New3 New7.).

"Foreach" requires a list, not a range, so that doesn't work.  And
ForValues obviously only accepts numbers.

Is there a way of doing this?

Thanks,
Rachel
