I have to be able to give two inputs a beginning and an ending number in a range. I have to be able to extrapolate all values in between and including the beginning and ending numbers. I have gotten as far as making a loop that gets stuck :) I also have defined the Beginning number and ending number in some input boxes and successfully put the beginning number in A1.
The numbers in my case are always unknown a person will always be able to tell what the beginning and ending numbers are but they will always change.
Sub FindNum()
Dim iLowVal As Integer
Dim iHighVal As Integer
iLowVal = InputBox("Beginning Range")
iHighVal = InputBox("Ending Range")
Range("A1").Value = iLowVal
Do Until iLowVal = iHighVal
Range("A1" & i) = iLowVal + 1
Loop
End Sub
Start now to learn how to use variant arrays. It is quicker to use them and bulk assign to the sheet than to loop the sheet.
When using Arrays it is quicker to use For Loops.
Sub FindNum()
Dim iLowVal As Long
Dim iHighVal As Long
iLowVal = InputBox("Beginning Range")
iHighVal = InputBox("Ending Range")
Dim itNum As Long
itNum = iHighVal - iLowVal + 1
Dim arr As Variant
ReDim arr(1 To itNum)
Dim k As Long
k = iLowVal
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To itNum
arr(i) = k
k = k + 1
Next i
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Resize(itNum).Value = Application.Transpose(arr)
End Sub
Write an Array of Integers (For...Next)
This is just a basic code with a few more options. Play with it (i.e. modify "A1", "A", (1, 0)) to see its behavior so you can improve on it by googling, SOing, asking another question... etc.
Option Explicit
Sub FindNumForNext()
' Input data.
Dim nStart As Long: nStart = InputBox(Prompt:="Start Value", _
Title:="Write an Array of Integers", Default:=1)
Dim nEnd As Long: nEnd = InputBox("End Value")
' Check out 'Application.InputBox' as a better way to input data.
' Determine the order (asc or desc).
Dim nStep As Long
If nStart <= nEnd Then ' ascending
nStep = 1
Else ' descending
nStep = -1
End If
' Create a reference to the destination worksheet.
Dim dws As Worksheet: Set dws = ActiveSheet ' the one you're looking at
' Instead of the previous line, it is safer (better) to determine
' the exact worksheet where this will be used, e.g.:
'Dim dwb As Workbook: Set dwb = ThisWorkbook ' workbook containing this code
'Dim dws As Worksheet: Set dws = wb.Worksheets("Sheet1") ' tab name
' Create a reference to the first destination cell.
Dim dCell As Range: Set dCell = dws.Range("A1")
' Clear possible previous data.
dws.Columns("A").Clear
Dim n As Long ' Values (Numbers) Counter (For Next Control Variable)
' Loop from start to end...
For n = nStart To nEnd Step nStep
' Write the current number to the current destination cell.
dCell.Value = n
' Create a reference to the next destination cell.
Set dCell = dCell.Offset(1, 0)
' 1 means one cell down
' 0 means zero cells to the right
Next n ' next value (number)
End Sub
If you dispose of MS 365 you might use the new Sequence() function as WorksheetFunction avoiding loops completely (see section b)):
Syntax
=SEQUENCE(rows,[columns],[start],[step])
You calculate the needed number of rows by substracting the lower start value from the higher ending value plus +1. The columns no equals 1, the start value is userdefined, the step is +1 by default.
This results in a vertical 2-dim array which can be written to any target (see section c)).
Option Explicit
Sub WriteSequence()
'a) definitions
Dim lo As Long, hi As Long
lo = InputBox("Beginning Range")
hi = InputBox("Ending Range")
'b) get sequence as vertical 2-dim array
Dim seq
seq = WorksheetFunction.Sequence(hi - lo + 1, 1, lo)
'c) write to any target
Sheet1.Range("A1").Resize(hi - lo + 1, 1) = seq
End Sub

I'm new to the VBA programming language so I'm asking for some help.
I'm trying to automatize building a waterfall chart in Excel using VBA. Usually I did everything manually and it often took quite a while when data changed. So I decided to use VBA to fasten the process.
To create a waterfall chart, I need to create additional series of data. I'm trying to do it by using arrays and loops.
For one, I need to create an array which consists of absolute values of the initial array (range). But I run into an error "Subscript out of range" and can't figure out what the problem is. In Python, which I know better, I guess, there wouldn't be such a problem.
Here's my code:
Sub CreateWaterfall()
'*************************************************************************
Dim i As Integer
'*************************************************************************
' Turn a range into an array
Dim FigureArrayLength As Integer
FigureArrayLength = Range("B3", Range("B3").End(xlToRight)).Count
Dim FiguresArr() As Variant
ReDim FiguresArr(FigureArrayLength)
FiguresArr = Range("B3", Range("B3").End(xlToRight))
'*************************************************************************
' Build another array based on FiguresArr, but making all the values positive
Dim AuxiliaryFiguresArr() As Variant
ReDim AuxiliaryFiguresArr(FigureArrayLength)
For i = 1 To FigureArrayLength
AuxiliaryFiguresArr(i) = Abs(FiguresArr(i))
Next i
End Sub
What Excel doesn't like is this line, which gets highlighted in yellow when I press the 'Debug' button:
AuxiliaryFiguresArr(i) = Abs(FiguresArr(i))
What could the problem be?
Absolute Values of a Row to an Array
Sub ArrAbsRowTEST()
' Reference the worksheet ('ws').
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = ActiveSheet ' improve!
' Reference the one-row range ('rrg') (a pretty risky way).
Dim rrg As Range: Set rrg = ws.Range("B3", ws.Range("B3").End(xlToRight))
' Using the 'ArrAbsRow' function (on the range),
' write the converted values to an array ('Arr').
Dim Arr() As Variant: Arr = ArrAbsRow(rrg)
' Continue, e.g.:
Debug.Print "The array contains the following numbers:"
Debug.Print Join(Arr, vbLf)
End Sub
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
' Purpose: Returns the absolute values of the values from the first row
' of a range ('rrg') in a 1D one-based array.
' Remarks: It is assumed that the first row of the range
' contains numbers only.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Function ArrAbsRow( _
ByVal rrg As Range) _
As Variant
' Write the values from the first row of the range
' to a 2D one-based one-row array ('rData').
Dim rData() As Variant
Dim cCount As Long
With rrg.Rows(1)
cCount = .Columns.Count
If cCount = 1 Then ' one cell
ReDim rData(1 To 1, 1 To 1): rData(1, 1) = .Value
Else ' multiple cells
rData = .Value
End If
End With
' Write the absolute values of the values from the 2D array
' to the resulting 1D one-based array ('Arr').
Dim Arr() As Variant: ReDim Arr(1 To cCount)
Dim c As Long
For c = 1 To cCount
Arr(c) = Abs(rData(1, c))
Next c
' Assign the 1D array to the result.
ArrAbsRow = Arr
End Function
I tested the below and returned to this page and then saw the solution from VBasic2008; so thought I'd add my answer too.
When I first did this, I assumed that the range derived array would be one dimensional too. I realised my mistake, when I added the array as a watch and was then able to see its dimensions.
Option Explicit
Private Sub CreateWaterfall()
'*************************************************************************

'*************************************************************************
' Build another array based on FiguresArr, but making all the values positive
ReDim AuxiliaryFiguresArr(0, 0) As Variant
AuxiliaryFiguresArr(0, 0) = 0
For i = 1 To UBound(FiguresArr, 2)
Call AddEntry(AuxiliaryFiguresArr, Abs(FiguresArr(1, i)))
Next i
End Sub
The procedure below is called by the code above
Public Sub AddEntry(aList As Variant, aEntry As Variant)
'
' build array for later copy onto sheet
'
Dim i%

If VarType(aEntry) = vbDouble Or VarType(aEntry) = vbInteger Then
aEntry2 = Array(aEntry)

aEntry2 = aEntry
End If
If aList(0, 0) <> 0 Then
ReDim Preserve aList(0 To UBound(aEntry2), 0 To UBound(aList, 2) + 1)
End If

i wanted to paste some values from every sheet of the workbook to the last sheet using array, so i wrote this code, but the code is not pasting anything but when i run using two break points in each loop then it is pasting i don't know what is the problem please help me with this issue, i have been facing this issue for a long time haven't got any solution

Backup Cell Values
A More Robust Solution
Option Explicit
Sub BackupCellValues()
Const sAddr As String = "R14" ' Source Cell Address
Const dAddr As String = "A1" ' Destination First Cell Address
Dim wb As Workbook: Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
' If the workbook containing these worksheets is also the one containing
' this code, using 'ThisWorkbook' instead of 'ActiveWorkbook' is a must.
Dim swsCount As Long: swsCount = wb.Worksheets.Count - 1 ' except the last
' You need at least two worksheets to make this work hence:
If swsCount < 1 Then Exit Sub ' highly unlikely, but why take a chance?
' Define a 2D ('...,...') one-based ('1 To...') one-column array ('1 To 1').
Dim sTags As Variant: ReDim sTags(1 To swsCount, 1 To 1)
' Write from source to array by looping.
Dim sws As Worksheet
Dim n As Long
For n = 1 To swsCount
sTags(n, 1) = wb.Worksheets(n).Range(sAddr).Value
Next n
' at this point, 'n = swsCount + 1'
' Write from array to destination in one go (no loop necessary).
Dim dws As Worksheet: Set dws = wb.Worksheets(n)
Dim drg As Range: Set drg = dws.Range(dAddr).Resize(swsCount)
drg.Value = sTags
End Sub
A Quick Fix (not recommended because it works until it doesn't)
'Option Explicit
Sub BackupCellValuesUnreliable()
x = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
ReDim tags(1 To x - 1)
For i = 1 To x - 1
tags(i) = Worksheets(i).Range("R14").Value

Before I start, I just want to thank every contributor ahead of time. I've only posted one question before, and I was amazed at how quickly I got responses and how much I learned after studying the solution. I'm hoping I will have enough reputation points soon to start upvoting good solutions I find here.
Anyways, what I'm trying to do is return one number, and that number is the maximum number of names that appear in a single cell of a worksheet column. Each cell in that column can have any number of names in it. Each name is delimited by a pipe "|", so I count the pipes and then add one to get the number of names in each cell. For example: Cell value is "Bob | Jon | Larry" = 2pipes +1 = 3 names.
My code below works, but I need to do this on tens of thousands of records. I don't think my solution is a good or efficient way to do it (tell me if I'm wrong). So my questions are:
Is there a better way to accomplish this, such as without looping through every cell in the range?
If there isn't a totally different approach to this, how can I avoid actually printing the name counts in cells in a new column? Could I store these values in an array and calculate the max of the array? (maybe there is already a thread on this topic you could point me to?)
Sub charCnt()
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Dim wb As Workbook: Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = Worksheets("Leasing")
Dim vRange As Variant
Dim iCharCnt As Integer
Dim iRows As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim iMax As Integer
Const sFindChar As String = "|"
iRows = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row 'count number of rows
For i = 1 To iRows
vRange = Cells(i, "O") 'column O has the names
iCharCnt = Len(vRange) - Len(Replace(vRange, sFindChar, "")) 'find number of | in single cell.
ws.Cells(i, "W") = iCharCnt 'column W is an empty column I use to store the name counts
Next i
iMax = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(Range("W:W")) + 1 'return max from column W
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
MsgBox ("Max number of names in one cell is " & iMax) ' show result
End Sub
Max Number of Substrings
Option Explicit
Sub charCount()
Const cCol As String = "O"
Const fRow As Long = 1
Const Delimiter As String = "|"
Dim wb As Workbook: Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = wb.Worksheets("Leasing")
Dim lRow As Long: lRow = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, cCol).End(xlUp).Row
Dim rg As Range: Set rg = ws.Cells(fRow, cCol).Resize(lRow - fRow + 1)
Dim Data As Variant: Data = rg.Value
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To UBound(Data, 1)
Data(i, 1) = Len(Data(i, 1)) - Len(Replace(Data(i, 1), Delimiter, ""))
Next i
Dim iMax As Long: iMax = Application.Max(Data) + 1
MsgBox ("Max number of names in one cell is " & iMax) ' show result
End Sub
A close-to-formula approach
Combining worksheet functions CountA() and FilterXML() allows to get all substring counts separated by the pipe character |:
Sub CountSubstrings(StartCell As Range, TargetRng As Range)
'Purp.: count items separated by pipes
'Meth.: via worksheetfunction FILTERXML()
'Note: assumes target in same sheet as StartCell (could be changed easily)
'a) enter formula into entire target range
Const PATTERN$ = _
"=IF(LEN($),COUNTA(FILTERXML(""<t><s>""&SUBSTITUTE($,""|"",""</s><s>"")&""</s></t>"",""//s"")),0)"
TargetRng.Formula2 = Replace(PATTERN, _
"$", StartCell.Parent.Name & "!" & StartCell.Address(False, False))
'b) optional overwriting of formulae
'TargetRng = TargetRng.Value
'c) display maximum result
MsgBox Application.Max(TargetRng)
End Sub
Hint: You can even shorten code as follows if you want to include the fully qualified workbook + worksheet reference in the formula assignment. Just use the additional argument External:=True in .Address (resulting e.g. in something like '[Test.xlsm]Sheet1'!A2):
TargetRng.Formula2 = Replace(PATTERN, _
"$", StartCell.Address(False, False, External:=True))
Possible Example call
With Sheet1
CountSubstrings .Range("A2"), .Range("D2:D5")
End With

Brilliant answer by VBasic2008. I thought I would look at it purely as a coding exercise for myself. Alternative below provided for interest only.
Option Explicit
Sub CountMaxNames()
Dim arr1(), i, j, count As Long, tally As Long, ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("leasing")
arr1 = ws.Range("O1:O" & ws.Range("O" & Rows.count).End(xlUp).Row)
count = 0: tally = 0
For Each i In arr1
For j = 1 To Len(i)
If Mid(i, j, 1) = "|" Then count = count + 1
Next j
count = count + 1
If count >= tally Then tally = count
count = 0
Next i
MsgBox "Maximum number of names in one cell is " & tally

I have written a code in which I am trying to use two different formulas with a set of conditions like if we take RUZ currency into consideration. where we have tenors between (SW- 1Y), the formula should be =1/(1/R208C[-5]+RC12/10000) and for the rest of the tenors (2Y, 3Y,5Y) the formula should be =1*RC[-5]. this condition is only applicable on RUZ ccy, for the rest, one formula per ccy(currency) will be used for all their respective tenors.
the formula is placed in column P,
tenors are placed in column B

I have done more than intended to your code because I had so much difficulty understanding what you need. However, I'm rather pleased with the result and hope you will be, too.

I found your Criteria rather useless in this context. Perhaps that's why I gave it a task. The function CurrencyIndex() returns the index number of the current currency and uses this number thereafter in place of the actual currency code. For this purpose I added "RUZ" to your array. I have it in first position but any other number will do as well.
Please look at the function ChooseFormula(). It seems you have only 3 formulas. I assigned the index 0 to the most common one and made that the default. For the rest of it, the CcyIdx is passed to the function as an argument and if that index = 0 it identifies "RUZ" and gives it special treatment. I'm not sure that the treatment I assigned is 100% correct or workable but I think the code is simple and you should be able to modify it as required. Observe that the function won't ever return Formula(2) in its present state but you can modify it easily to accommodate all kinds of conditions and many more possible formulas. Let me know if you need any help with that.
Using VBA, I would like to AND across each row in a 2D array and star the result in separate 1D array without ANDing a single pair the ANDing the result with the next item in that row.
FYI This is my first time using 2D arrays so sorry if there is an obvious solution.
For example if the data in my sheet looked like this (the actual range is much larger):
I would like to do the equlavant of an excel formula: =AND(B2:D2) then =AND(B3:D3), etc...
I have code that sets everything up but I don't know how to proceed except to loop across each element of a row, store the result then loop across the next, etc, etc. I'm hoping the there is a much better (more efficient) way to proceed.
Here is my code so far
Sub Exceptions()
' Setup worksheet
Dim wks As Worksheet

In the formula bar, type:
=IF(-PRODUCT(IF(A1,-1,0),IF(C1,-1,0)),TRUE,FALSE)
(if the data is in columns A and C), and drag down.
Because, as everyone knows, A AND B = AB if A and B are Boolean variables (and watch the minus in front of the PRODUCT).
