This is "Off Topic" (I put "OT" in the title) Technically, to keep from "hijacking" a thread if you wish to continue this discussion, we ought to start a separate topic Or take it "off-line" (email between the two of us)
However, since others might be interested, I'll mention it here... You CAN load a VBA array from a two dimensional range. For example, Data like: A B C 101258 PIPE BUSHNG 16 219255 DRILL CHUCK 14 221280 ABRAS CLOTH 11 233553 SPOT DRILL 12 241280 HAND FILE 15 328982 GRINDING WHEEL 15 Can be loaded into a VBA array using: Dim StrArray StrArray = Range("A1:C6").Value the result will be: StrArray(1,1) = 101258 StrArray(1,2) = "PIPE BUSHING" StrArray(1,3) = 16 and so on. Curiously, you CANNOT declare the array initially as: Dim StrArray(10,20) and then exptect load it with: Strarray = Range("A1:C6").value This technique is essentially ReDimensioning the variable. as in: You CAN: Dim TempVar ReDim TempVar(20) But you CANNOT: Dim TempVar(10) ReDim TempVar(20) Paul ________________________________ From: Dave Bonallack <davebonall...@hotmail.com> To: "excel-macros@googlegroups.com" <excel-macros@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sat, February 12, 2011 7:02:36 PM Subject: RE: $$Excel-Macros$$ Macro issue passing values from Cell to columns Hi Paul, Very helpful and clearly explained, thank-you. Can we use this, or something similar, to load a range (say A1:A20) into an array without using a loop? Sorry, but my knowledge of arrays in VBA is very limited.

If you have a string: "The Quick Brown Fox jumped over the lazy dog" and you wanted to store the words into an array, If you're using Option Explicit (recommended) you have to declare the variable: Dim StrArray (but don't define an array SIZE) Next, split the string using a space (" ") as delimeter: StrArray = Split("The Quick Brown Fox jumped over the lazy dog", " ") or: Str = ("The Quick Brown Fox jumped over the lazy dog" StrArray = Split(Str," ") The array is now: StrArray(0) = "The" Strarray(1) = "Quick" Strarray(2) = "Brown" Strarray(3) = "Fox" Strarray(4) = "jumped" Strarray(5) = "over" Strarray(6) = "the" Strarray(7) = "lazy" Strarray(8) = "dog" and of course ubound(StrArray) gives the upper bound of the array (8). I wrote a function LONG ago using this to accomplish what is now done with txt-to-columns in Excel2007! hope this helps, Paul ________________________________ From: Dave Bonallack <davebonall...@hotmail.com> To: "excel-macros@googlegroups.com" <excel-macros@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sat, February 12, 2011 3:17:14 AM Subject: RE: $$Excel-Macros$$ Macro issue passing values from Cell to columns Hi Paul, I'm really interested in the part of the macro that I have highlighted below (in case the highlighting doesn't travel well, I've marked each line with a *) I've not seen the 'Split' function before. I looked it up in the Help, but still couldn't make sense of it. If you have time, could you please explain that part?

Actually, the Activecell object is not necessary. I changed it to: If Range("A"&i) = "" then exit sub else and it worked just fine. BTW: I changed the loop to: Application.ScreenUpdating = False For R = 1 To 1000 If (Range("A" & R).Value = "") Then Exit Sub * StrArray = Split(Range("A" & R).Value, ";") * For C = 0 To UBound(StrArray) * Cells(R, C + 1).Value = StrArray(C) Next C Next R Application.ScreenUpdating = True and it worked almost instantaneously instead of all the screen "flashing" that goes on with TextToColumns.
