Determine Data Type Of Array Elements. Numeric Strings
Apr 7, 2008
I have an array of variants..
lvarArrSource = Array(12, "=F", 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, "123", "F", "F", "F", "F", 11, "F", "NR", "F")
which i am using to map columns between spreadsheets. The basic numeric entries refer to columns to copy. But I want to make the routine smarter with the strings.
If array(x) = 12 (For example) Then
Do something
End If
If left(array(x),1) = "=" Then
Do something Else
End If
If array(x) Is String literal (e.g "xyz" Or "123") Then
Do a third thing
End If
i cant find a typeof or isstring kind of function. Isnumeric works ok for some values but quoted numbers (eg "123") return true (which isnt what i want). I have tried the left(string,1) = """ but excel seems to hide the quotes.

I need to make a fork in my code based on the type of data received from an input box launched from a right click and passed via the actioncontrol parameter.
The input box box is a range selector.
Dim seriesIdArray As Variant
seriesIdArray = Range(CommandBars.ActionControl.Parameter)
Generally, the user will have selected multiple cells as their range and I loop through using:
For j = 0 to ubound(seriesIdArray, 2)
However, if they only select one cell, I am getting back the value of that string in seriedIdArray, and that gives me a type mismatch error. I'll need to handle this a little differently, and I know how to do that part, I just don't know when I need to do this.
How can I tell whether they have selected one cell or multiple cells based on the value of the actioncontrol parameter?
I considered trapping the error type (13) and branching based on that, but then I end up with spaghetti code and I'm trying to avoid that.
I think I may need to create another more specific variable to take the action control parameter, test it, and then decide whether I should use an array or a range, but that's just a suspicion.

I need to do a vlookup that takes a string from one cell and then tries to find that string (embedded in a larger string) in the table array
Essentially I imagine this involves the FIND function at some point.
Attached is an incredibly simplified example of what I'm looking for.

I have a somewhat challanging task and have looked in all my vba books for a solution but am coming up blank. I am have a text file with just numbers in it and i need to extract each number and input it into an array so i can manipulate them from there. I have tried "for each" and " loop" statements but cannot get it to work.

I have a big array "DataArray" and want to access it:
For i = 1 To 4
variable = DataArray(SourceArray(i))
Next i
"DataArray" has two dimensions, so SourceArray has to consist of data like this:
SourceArray(1) = 1,2
sourceArray(2) = 2,4
etc
What data type does Sourcearray have to be? Integer doesnt seem to work, and DataArray doesnt like a string as coordinates. I have a workaround with two different arrays of integer for x and y coordinates, but this cannot be it.

I'm trying to use an array to carry out string function on a range of excel cells.
Here is the code I am using
Dim arrXl As Variant
arrXl = ws.Range("F1:F" & ws.Range("D1").End(xlDown).Row)
For i = LBound(arrXl) To UBound(arrXl)
MsgBox (LBound(arrXl))
'If 1st char is different from 3rd char then remove all of string after 1st char
If Left(arrXl(i), 1) <> Mid(arrXl(i), 3, 1) Then
arrXl(i) = Left(arrXl(i), 1)
End If
'If 1st char is different from 7th char then delete string after 5th char
If Left(arrXl(i), 1) <> Mid(arrXl(i), 7, 1) Then
arrXl(i) = Left(arrXl(i), 5)
End If
The lbound function returns the value of 1 as the lower bound, I do not have "Option base 1" set so I was expecting the lbound value to be 0. The first 2 cells in the F column are blank so this may have something to do with it, I am unsure if cells in excel can be null if they can be null one cell may be null and the other may be a zero length string but I am unsure about this.
The ubound function returns a value of 487.
The code breaks when I try to access an element in the array so it breaks on the line:
If Left(arrXl(i), 1) <> Mid(arrXl(i), 3, 1) Then
and returns the "Subscript out of range" error message.

I am trying to use FIND and an array formula to find the position of text in a range of cells (A2 and A3 in the example) which could be one of a number of options (C1:D1 here). But the array formula throws up the following error: "A value used in the formula is of the wrong data type". The simplest illustration of the problem is as follows. The formula in B2 is
Code:
{=FIND(($C$1:$D$1),A2)}
and $C$1:$D$1 contain REF and ATM respectively. [/CODE]
REF
ATM
203047 05AUG 08.55 OKEHAMPTON ATM
#VALUE!
CO-OP GROUP 380611 REF 191 7553375222 BCC
22
We see that B2 has a #VALUE! error - wrong data type. But for some reason B3 is ok returning 22!

I have a macro which makes two new WS (AU - UA and AU - LH), copies header row to both of them and then copy three letter airport codes which are in column A with appropriate prices to these new sheets. I need to modify code so if there will be in pricelist some new airport codes which are not in macro yet, that they would be copied to new WS (NEW CODES), so I will know which airports are new. I have attached example file, to make things clearer what kind of result I would like to get after running macro. Here is code of my macro:
Option Explicit
Sub UA_LH_OS_SK_VER_2()
'Turn off ScreenUpdating for faster runtime so screen won't flash while running
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim CLL As Range, FaresWS As Worksheet
Set FaresWS = Sheets("FARES")
Worksheets.Add(After:=FaresWS).Name = "AU - LH"
Worksheets.Add(After:=FaresWS).Name = "AU - UA"
With FaresWS.Rows(1)
.Copy Sheets("AU - UA").Rows(1) ' Paste to worksheet AU - UA
.Copy Sheets("AU - LH").Rows(1) ' Paste to worksheet AU - LH
End With.....................

If I have say several hundred elements stored in an indexed array and I want to clear them each time the sub or function holding them is called, is there a way to erase the contents of the entire array without having to loop through each element.
Something like array().clear? Note that each time the sub is called, they are also redimed to some reference.

I have a STRING array which is dimensioned with 100 elements possible. What i want to know is how to determine the "length" (not sure if this is the right word) of the array. For example: Suppose i have 10 strings in the array. Is there a command to determine that there are only 10 elements in the 100 possilble array?

I am trying to present a 10X10 Matrix Range (A1:J10) full with UNIQUE INTEGER random numbers. I thought to use an Single Dimension Array (100 deep) and fill it with the Rnd() Function.
Then, I thought to check the RANK of each element of that Array and transfer it to 100 cells (10X10) in the Sheet (assume A21:J30) with the help of 2 nested loops.
My problem is: How to find the Rank of each element within ARRAY1. Is there a way to refer to an Array as to a Range in a Worksheet. (I do not want to transfer 100 values from the Array to the Sheet - I rather prefer to check the Rank WITHIN(!) the Array).
Option Base 1
Sub MiKe()
Set AWF = Application.WorksheetFunction
H = 10
V = 10
Redim Array1(H * V)
For CL = 1 To H * V
Array1(CL) = Rnd()
Next
For HC = 1 To H
For VC = 1 To V.........................

Join an array with Text elements to create a string that can be Evaluated
So for instance if I have Array("A", "B", "C") and I want to evaluate("=({" & Join(array, ",") & "})="A)"). Is there any way to do this without having to loop or push to a Named array first? I'll even take this evaluate thing if I can do it with text and numbers

I want to test how many elements are not empty within a variant array.
For example for arrays Arr1 and Arr2 below the answers would be:
- for Arr1 not empty elements=1
- for Arr2 not empty elements=0
Arr1(0)=empty
Arr1(1)=2
Arr1(2)=empty
Arr2(0)=empty
Arr2(1)=empty
Arr2(2)=empty
I've tried with function COUNTA inside VBA but counts even the empty values:
Code:
NotEmptyCells = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Arr1)
Is there another function to count this from an array or alternative way?

I have a variable that gets set to an address range:
Code:
TAG_RANGE = Sheets(BAL_SHT_TAB_NAME).Range("A1", Sheets(BAL_SHT_TAB_NAME).Cells(Rows.Count, Range("A1").Column).End(xlUp)).Address
In the first loop that executes this command TAG_RANGE gets set to $A$1:$A$39
I want to loop through the values in that range and run tests against them. Is there a function that will take the values in the address range an convert them into an array so that I can use something like this:
Code:
For Counter = LBound(TAG_RANGE_ARRAY) To UBound(TAG_RANGE_ARRAY)
[run tests]
Next
Or is there someother direct way to do this other than creating a loop that fills the array element by element

I'm trying to write a macro which will find members of an array on a sheet, highlight the column and then change the format of the column, what I have at the moment is:
Dim datearray(1 To 3) As String
datearray(1) = "Date1"
datearray(2) = "Date2"
datearray(3) = "Date3"
For x = LBound(datearray) To UBound(datearray)
Cells.Find(What:=x).Activate
ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
Next x
End Sub
The problem is, when I "F8" my way through the code, it doesn't seem to be finding the members of the array in the sheet.

I have a cell that contains parts that are comma separated. I want to assign each of these parts to an element in an array so I can process them using a loop function.
Example Cell A1 = t4567, g8905, z3030
partArray = (t4567, g8905, z3030)
Is there a method or function i can use to achieve this?

array variables:
How can I count the number of elements of a particular dimension of an array variable that have actually been filled with items/values?
For example, the array variable in this procedure has two dimensions. Dimension 1 has three elements, and dimension 2 has 5 elements. I then add values to some, but not all the defined elements of dimensions. How can I count, for each dimension, the number of elements that have values rather than are empty?
Option Base 1
Sub test()
Dim ExampleArray(3, 5)
ExampleArray(1, 1) = 3
ExampleArray(1, 2) = 4
ExampleArray(1, 3) = 2
ExampleArray(1, 4) = 6
ExampleArray(2, 1) = 5
ExampleArray(2, 2) = 9

I have an array of data type Variant, who's elements are workbooks opened by a user.
The array size is static, which for now isn't a concern but I can't work out how to close the workbooks in the array via a loop and the usual vba code of Workbooks("file").Close
Code I have that doesn't work is:
Sub Close_Workbooks_In_An_Array ()
Dim dFile (1 to 6) As Variant
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer
' // Some code to open files, set each dFile(i) as a file and then process
' // them. Max value for i is 6
j = 1
For j = 1 To i
MsgBox ("Closing: " & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & dFile(j))
Workbook.(dFile(j)).Close

Then, I want to use that array in the sdev function. I am having trouble pulling the ith number from the mean function. Also, is there a way to make variables constant so that they do not need to be declared for every function.

How do I determine a cell's type (e.g., numeric or string or formula) and if numeric, the format (e.g., currency, general, scientific) including the number of decimal places.
Is there a function that returns the object's properties? Must I use isnumeric, isformula, and so on or is there one function that returns this information?
