All,
I would like to write a function to return an array of integers so I can index them, but I am not aware of the syntax for VBA. Here is the pseudo code:
function getStats() as integer dim returnVal(4) as integer returnVal(0)=c2percent14 returnVal(1)=c3percent14 returnVal(2)=c4percent14 returnVal(3)=c5percent14 getStats=returnVal end function msgbox getStats(3) where these values are all integers, or should be, and then I can index the return array for the stat that I want. Thanks.

A function in a normal module (but not a Class module) can return an array by putting () after the data type. Note that what is returned is actually a copy of the array inside the function, not a reference. So if the function returns the contents of a Static array its data can't be changed by the calling procedure.
Using a For Loop allows quick access to all items in an array. This is where the power of using arrays becomes apparent. We can read arrays with ten values or ten thousand values using the same few lines of code. There are two functions in VBA called LBound and UBound.
Give the function the type as an array:
function getStats() as Integer() dim returnVal(0 to 3) as integer returnVal(0) = c2percent14 returnVal(1) = c3percent14 returnVal(2) = c4percent14 returnVal(3) = c5percent14 getStats = returnVal end function Sub mysub() Dim myArray() As Integer myArray = getStats() msgbox myArray(3) end sub If you love us?
