Array

This document discusses one-dimensional and two-dimensional arrays in Excel VBA. It provides an example of declaring a one-dimensional string array with 5 elements to store movie titles. It also demonstrates declaring a two-dimensional string array with 5 rows and 2 columns to store data from a worksheet, using a double loop to populate each element from the corresponding cell.

Array

One-dimensional Array | Two-dimensional Array


An array is a group of variables. In Excel VBA, you can refer to a specific variable
(element) of an array by using the array name and the index number.

One-dimensional Array
To create a one-dimensional array, execute the following steps.
Place a command button on your worksheet and add the following code lines:
Dim Films(1 To 5) As String

Films(1) = "Lord of the Rings"


Films(2) = "Speed"
Films(3) = "Star Wars"
Films(4) = "The Godfather"
Films(5) = "Pulp Fiction"

MsgBox Films(4)

Result when you click the command button on the sheet:

Explanation: the first code line declares a String array with name Films. The array
consists of five elements. Next, we initialize each element of the array. Finally,
we display the fourth element using a MsgBox.
Two-dimensional Array
To create a two-dimensional array, execute the following steps. This time we are
going to read the names from the sheet.

Place a command button on your worksheet and add the following code lines:
Dim Films(1 To 5, 1 To 2) As String
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer

For i = 1 To 5
For j = 1 To 2
Films(i, j) = Cells(i, j).Value
Next j
Next i

MsgBox Films(4, 2)

Result when you click the command button on the sheet:

Explanation: the first code line declares a String array with name Films. The array
has two dimensions. It consists of 5 rows and 2 columns. Tip: rows go first, then
columns. The other two variables of type Integer are used for the Double Loop to
initialize each element of the array. Finally, we display the element at the
intersection of row 4 and column 2.
