TempNum = MyNum1
MyNum1 = MyNum2
MyNum2 = TempNum

Another method without using a helper variable...
A = A Xor B
B = A Xor B
A = A Xor B
Notice the expression to the right of the equal sign is the same for each of the three steps making it easier to remember :-)

The solution offered by Ioannis works only for numbers, of course. The first tip is simple and straightforward. Most code can afford an extra variable in order to provide some simplicity. KISS.

MyNum1 = MyNum1 & "," & MyNum2

MyNum1 = Split(MyNum1, ",")(1)

A solution without the help of another variable:
MyNum1=MyNum1+MyNum2
MyNum2=Mynum1-MyNum2
MyNum1=MyNum1-MyNum2
