Is it possible to use an array without looping through it? I have code that has two loops: One that is just for the array and the other that loops through the data. It would be nice if I could get it down to one loop, but I'm not sure if it's possible. For example, if you have
Dim varArea As Variant
varArea = Array(1,2,4,6,8,12)
For x = LBound(varArea) To UBound(VarArea)
Do While Not C Is Nothing
Code here
Is there a way to advance to the next item in the array without using the loop.
The answer is probably "because I'm stupid", but I really can't get my head around it! I'm playing with variant arrays for the first (and possibly last) time,
The code I have is:
Sub test() Dim vSheetColours As Variant Dim iCounter As Integer vSheetColours = Range("Colours").Interior.ColorIndex For iCounter = 1 To UBound(vSheetColours, 1) MsgBox vSheetColours(iCounter, 1) Next iCounter End Sub
(Obviously this code doesn't do anything useful - but if I could get it to work, I might have a chance of making my real code work!)
Colours is a range of 8 cells. Each one has some text in, and has a different background colour. I'm trying to store the colours.
If I run this code, I get a runtime error 13 type mismatch, and it highlights For iCounter = 1 To UBound(vSheetColours, 1)
But if I replace vSheetColours = Range("Colours").Interior.ColorIndex with vSheetColours = Range("Colours").Value
I am using strongly typed code, but I am also pulling data from worksheets into variants. e.g.
Dim MyArray As Variant
MyArray = [MyNamedRange]
is there any shortcut to convert the variant to a typed array, which doesn't just involve looping throught the variant and using a casting function, e.g.
I am trying to develop some code to serve as an 'undo' for several macros that I have. They each take a selected range and perform some changes to that range. I have managed to make some code that will undo the last macro run but would like to make something that can go back several steps. To that end, I have started with the following code but am running into an issue when I need to use a variant array to hold multiple arrays of a custom defined data type:
VB: Type SaveRange Val As Variant Addr As String
[Code] .....
This declares some public variables I'll need, each as an array so that I can iterate through several steps of do/undo using the undoIndex. I then use them to save each range I am about to change by calling the following macro within my actual data-manipulating macros:
VB: Sub Save_RangeForUndo(rng As Range) Dim i As Integer Dim cell As Range
undoIndex = undoIndex + 1
[Code] .....
If you look at the last line here, this is my problem; I can't figure out how to properly use an array to hold each instance of OldSelection() for later referral. Just for completeness, here is my actual undo macro:
VB: Sub Undo_Operation() Dim i As Integer OldWorkbooks(undoIndex).Activate OldWorksheets(undoIndex).Activate
[Code] .....
I need to get this OldSlctVariant()() array to hold each instance of OldSelection() so that I can restore them for each consecutive undo. I'm not very familiar with the variant type and anything more than the basic use of arrays.
I have many large arrays of climate data. I am trying to find an array criteria formula that would filter out those years from a variation around a given year. Like this example, to filter out those years B10 (47.8) plus or minus B12 (3.339).
when is it appropriate to us arr(1 to 10) Vs. For i = 1 to 10. I know this may sound like a silly question and expose my ignorance - but I suppose there is no other way to learn :|

I'm looking for some way to some the red cells without looping.
In this example the array was filled with A1:A10 values. In the real situation the array gets its values from other source than a Worksheet Range.
As you can see I manged to transport the Array Values to F1:F10 and from here I could calculate the sum of F3:F8 but I do not want to use any helper columns.
I have created some code of which this is an extract
Dim i As Variant
i = Array(37, 38, 41, 42)
For Each i In i
'Some Code Next i
the routine works fine when the i variable is hard coded, but once the above is included it fails (Error 10 This array is fixed or temporarily locked).
I've built a simple inventory tracking system, and decided a reporting feature would be nice. There are four categories that are entered when inventory is removed...Date, Employee Name, Item Description, Location, and quantity.
Four my reporting purposes I'm only concerned with Date, Employee name and Item Description.
I've been able to write code that does what I want using a multiple Cases and a For loop once the case is identified. However, the more data there is the longer this takes...so I decided to stretch myself and try my hand at arrays (first time really working with arrays), but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what I need to do.
Here is what I think the steps need to be.
1. Store my data (the categories above) which are located in the Check Out sheet 2. Go through the arrayed data to find exact matches based on my search criteria (here is where the Cases come in) 3. Pull out only that data and write the information to a "Report" Sheet 4. Export that sheet to PDF (this part I already have)
Below is a copy of what my current "working" code looks like (I should mention that the search selections are made from a userform this is what the Cases are deciphering between which ones are blank etc...), also most of my variables are instantiated as Public variables within a Public_Variables module also below.
I have a For loop, its an array with 5 file names in it. The loop checks for the files in the path, and if the file is there it places the file in the corresponding sheet in the workbook. If it is not, I get the option to browse for the file. Originally all 5 files were required, however now the requirements changed and only 4 are required the last file "byband.csv" is not required. So they want the option a message box telling the user the file is not required they can browse or keep going.
I worked out the second part but only by taking "byband.csv" out of the loop and writing a separate procedure for it, I wondered if in my original procedure I could isolate "byband" and if not found go to another part of the procedure. Basically, I needed to do the following:
If the file in the array byBand.csv is not found, Then:
vmbProceed = MsgBox(strFifthImportFile & strMessage, vbYesNo + vbQuestion, strTitle) If vmbProceed = vbNo Then Exit Sub Else
go to Line 1 in the procedure below.
Code:
Sub import_Employee_Data()
'This is Step 1 when the frmDataImportSplash is activated. 'This procedure imports the byEmployee.csv sheet. The procedure checks if the file is 'in the same directory as the template. If the file is not there, a browser window appears to allow the user 'to browse for the missing file. A series of message boxes guide the user through the process and 'verifies that the user picked the right file. The user can cancel the import at any time.
Dim strPath As String Dim strFirstImportFile As Variant
how to fill array with cells form selections and loop my macro for each cell of that array.
Code: 'this is macro I need to execute for each cell in my selection. Here I threat each cell from selection as solo selection.
Sub SELECTION_CELL_COUNT_SINGLE() Dim z As Integer, q As Integer, X As Boolean, I As Integer, txt As String Dim tmp As String, J As Integer, K As Integer Dim sStrip As String
I would like to use array v to store all the results of the for loop u...How can Ido it?

trying to loop through an array, with each loop calculating a formula (VLOOKUP) for one cell based on the values of a cell in another sheet.
Not sure but I think it has something to do with looking up a text value while the loop returns a value.
Private Sub ExpandFormula() 'calculates Counttarget formula in COUNTTARGETS sheet across required range Dim CellsDown As Long, CellsAcross As Integer Dim i As Long, j As Integer Dim TempArray() As String Dim TheRange As Range Dim CurrentValue As String

I am having a problem calling buttons. I have an array with button names and another array with their caption texts and I would like to call them one by one in a for loop:
For i = 1 To UBound(button_array) Sheets("Statistic").Shades(button_array(i)).Caption = button_text(i) Next i
But the only way I seem to be able to call them is by their set names, like:
I am trying to fill an array with only a few values within a loop (when XspacingA is 0.5, add the value of the Line to the array) and keep getting the error "Subscript out of range".
I have created a macro that loops through and creates an array of the visible sheets. Now I would like for it to print each of those sheets out. I think my main mistake is in my declaration of the array type, since I have not worked with arrays much before.
how to make the following code operable. Currently when I run it I'm getting a "Run-time error (9): Subscript out of range" error.
I have to use VisibleSlicerItemsList as it is an external data source (so cannot use ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches(Slicer Name).SlicerItems(Slicer Valuel).Selected = True/false)
Now, when user chooses 2,3 or more countries, they will be in cells A2, A3, A4... etc.
So, if the user selected 2 countries I would need to run a following code:
I'm hoping to automate some pivot table refreshes. I've got a dozen pivot tables on a sheet all with different numbers. I'm hoping I can write a code that loops through the pivot table names and runs the refresh. Here is the code as it is right now. I've essentially copied, pasted, and changed the name of the pivot table for the refresh.
I would like to create an array in vba (22,21,20,19,18...) that renames the PivotTable and runs the code.
sub Refresh () Dim pt4 As PivotTable Dim Field4 As PivotField Dim NewCat4 As String
I have a button the runs Application.GetOpenFilename And puts the output filepath into a label. I then have another button that opens a inputbox asking to change the file name and then copys the file from above path to my destenation.
when setting the destination i use ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "Images" & Application.PathSeparator and the imputbox value as the filename. doing it like this it wont alocate a extention for the file ".jpg,ect". The label.caption has the .ext and i would like to be able to store everythink after the . as a variant.
Is/how possible to read entire ss into a variant "off-scree" without showing the user? I can open the file, I just dont know how to not show the file, select the entire sheet and read the values. I have seen the below but dont know how modify it as needed. Also is there a way to do this dynamically with variable length rows/columns?
Dim vaData As Variant Dim lRow Long Dim lCol As Long vaData=ActiveSheet. Range("A1:B10").Value

I am trying to loop through column A and I want to store in an array where I find "App" within the cell value. I am trying to find "App" but will store the whole cell value in the array. I could not figure out the Find method, so I tried the MID function but am having no luck.
Here is my code:
Code: Sub Arraytest() Dim arr As Variant, lastrow As Long, i As Long, f As Long, l As Long f = 0 lastrow = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row ReDim arr(1 To 1, 1 To lastrow)
I have a multiple select list box which I capture the selected items by using ListBox1. List
I want to use the 'selection' to build up a string that will form a document name I want to add to an email as an attachment (all being done from Excel), however I get a type mis-match error as the ListBox1.List output is a variant.
So I'm aiming to have something like MyFile = firstpartoffilename & ListBox1.List & "*.doc"
Do I need to somehow convert the variant variable or are there some other clever tricks I can use to create my document name.
I have looked into the maximum length of a variant/string in vba and it appears to be 250 characters. I am running a macro which first lists all excel files in a folder, returning them to a sheet, then using a loop statement opens each one in turn extracting the information to a second summary sheet before closing it. The file path to the folder is ridiculously long and the macro stumbles. I used the =LEN(A1) formula to check if the file names were too long for the string, but the maximum file name length was 226 characters. I've tried both String and Variant to collect the file names but both have the same effect.
