1. CLngLng VBA function – Description

The CLngLng VBA function   returns a value of the LongLong data type  . It is an integer ranging from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 . The LongLong data type is 8 bytes in memory. It is important that the LongLong data type itself, unlike the Long type, only works in the 64-bit architecture.
