I have the below loop in VBA:
For i = 1 To Range("B" & "65536").End(xlUp).Row Step 1
Companies = Range("A" & i).Value
Next i
MsgBox Companies 'Output Company Name (One time)
So above loop iterates through rows, that all have a company name in Column "A". I want to add all these company names to an array, so I can print them all out later on (after the loop)
How can I dynamically add the Companies value to an array, and use it later on?
you don't need Loop
Just try this :
Dim DirArray As Variant
DirArray = Range("A1:A5000").Value
I think something like this is what you're looking for.
Sub tgr()
'Declare variables
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim Companies As Variant
Dim i As Long
'Always fully qualify which workbook and worksheet you're looking at
Set ws = ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
'You can assing a Variant variable to the value of a range
' and it will populate the variable as an array if there
' is more than one cell in the range
'Note that I am going off of column B as shown in your original code,
' and then using Offset(, -1) to get the values of column A
Companies = ws.Range("B1", ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp)).Offset(, -1).Value
If IsArray(Companies) Then
'More than one company found, loop through them
For i = LBound(Companies, 1) To UBound(Companies, 1)
MsgBox "Company " & i & ":" & Chr(10) & _
Companies(i, 1)
Next i
Else
'Only one company found
MsgBox Companies
End If
End Sub
If you need an array, which is increased every time and still saves its contents, something like this should work:
Option Explicit
Public Sub TestMe()
Dim i As Long
Dim companies() As Variant
ReDim companies(0)
For i = 1 To 20
ReDim Preserve companies(UBound(companies) + 1)
companies(UBound(companies)) = Range("A" & i)
Next i
End Sub
If you need simply need to take the values to array, then the answer of @Leo R. is probably the easiest way to achieve it.
