I've written a macro that takes a 2 dimensional array, and "prints" it to equivalent cells in an excel workbook.
Is there a more elegant way to do this?
Sub PrintArray(Data, SheetName, StartRow, StartCol)
Dim Row As Integer
Dim Col As Integer
Row = StartRow
For i = LBound(Data, 1) To UBound(Data, 1)
Col = StartCol
For j = LBound(Data, 2) To UBound(Data, 2)
Sheets(SheetName).Cells(Row, Col).Value = Data(i, j)
Col = Col + 1
Next j
Row = Row + 1
Next i
End Sub
Sub Test()
Dim MyArray(1 To 3, 1 To 3)
MyArray(1, 1) = 24
MyArray(1, 2) = 21
MyArray(1, 3) = 253674
MyArray(2, 1) = "3/11/1999"
MyArray(2, 2) = 6.777777777
MyArray(2, 3) = "Test"
MyArray(3, 1) = 1345
MyArray(3, 2) = 42456
MyArray(3, 3) = 60
PrintArray MyArray, "Sheet1", 1, 1
End Sub
To write a one dimensional array back to the worksheet, you must create a Range object, resize that range to the size of your array, and then write to the range. This code will write the values of Arr to range that is one row tall by UBound(Arr) columns wide, starting at range K1.
Convert your 1D array into a 2D array first, then print it on sheet (as a Range). Convert your 1D array into a string and print it in a single cell (as a String).
In VBA, you can pass arrays to procedures (Subs, Functions, and Properties), and Functions and Properties (Property Get only) can return arrays as their result. (Note that returning an array as the result of a function or property was added in Office 2000 -- functions in Office 97 cannot return arrays.)
On the same theme as other answers, keeping it simple
Sub PrintArray(Data As Variant, Cl As Range)
Cl.Resize(UBound(Data, 1), UBound(Data, 2)) = Data
End Sub
Sub Test()
Dim MyArray() As Variant
ReDim MyArray(1 To 3, 1 To 3) ' make it flexible
' Fill array
' ...
PrintArray MyArray, ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").[A1]
End Sub
