An Introduction to Array in Excel VBA

Excel VBA is a Programming language, and though it is a language, it should support Array Programming. Yes, it does. In Excel we can use Array Formula. We can also use the power of Array in Excel VBA.



What is an Array?

In a simple definition, the variable, which contains two or more values under the same variable, is called an Array. In programming language sometime you need to use lookup function in a specific list. To do this use an Array. An Array is a way to store more than one value under the same variable name. An array looks like this when it is declared:


Dim yourName(5) as Integer

In the above code, Dim is short for the word Dimension and it allows you to declare variable names and their type. Then we used a custom name yourName to store values. But how many values can store in yourName? We declared (5) that means 0 to 5 = 6 values. If we declared (1 to 5) then it will not count the 0 (zero), so that you can store 5 values under the same yourName variable. So you can also set an Array variable with 6 stored cell like below:


Dim yourName(1 to 6) as Integer




How to set values in Array?

Now to set your Array Values under the same Array Variable, follow the below code:


Dim yourName(1 to 6) as Integer

yourName(1) = 4
yourName(2) = 2
YourName(3) = 7
YourName(4) = 3
YourName(5) = 8
YourName(6) = 7

In the above code, you entered 4, 2, 7, 3, 8, 7 digits as values for each variable cell (1 to 6) under the same variable name yourName.



Run the Array values:

To test your Array values working properly or not, use the below codes in your code window:


Sub ArrTest()

Dim yourName(1 to 6) as Integer

yourName(1) = 4
yourName(2) = 2
YourName(3) = 7
YourName(4) = 3
YourName(5) = 8
YourName(6) = 7

MsgBox yourName(4)

End Sub

If you run the above program, then it will show a message box. The message box shows the value which is stored in yourName(4). That means 3:

This is the basic of Array in Excel VBA. In next I will try to explain more details with the help of real life project.
