In VBA for excel, I can simply use a formula as such as =SUM(X*{Y,Z}) to sum the multiplied results, however transferring this to VBA Is not a 1:1 as it does not support curly brackets for array purposes. Using a matching setup such as Result = Application.Worksheetfunction.Sum(X * Array(Y, Z)) results in a type mismatch error.
I do know I can simple use the evaluate function, or individually multiply and add after, very specifically seeing if there is a way to accomplish the above in a 1:1 matching method.
Approach using the MMULT() function
If you you want to multiply e.g. {10,1,30} with a single factor you'd have to repeat the factor in the 2nd argument within another array:
Dim a = Array(10, 1, 30)
b = WorksheetFunction.MMult(a, Application.Transpose(Array(1, 1, 1)))
Debug.Print b(1) ' 41
It would also be possible to define a separate array with corresponding individual factors for each base item:
Dim a = Array(10, 1, 30)
Dim b: b = WorksheetFunction.MMult(a, Application.Transpose(Array(1, 1.5, 1)))
Debug.Print b(1) ' 41.5
A flexibilized function comprising both versions (for any zero or 1-based arrays, filling up missing factors in version 2. with zero values by default) might be:
Function SumPro(a, factor, Optional missingFactor As Long = 0)
'Purp: sum products of array items multiplied by a) a single value or b) a set of factors in a 1-dim array
'Note: assumes "flat" 1-dim array(s)
' fills up missing factors with zero values by default (missingFactor = 0)
Dim n As Long: n = UBound(a) - LBound(a) + 1 ' items count independant from base start
Dim b: ReDim b(1 To n, 1 To 1) ' provide for sufficient 1-based factor items
Dim i As Long ' counter
If Not IsArray(factor) Then ' a) := single value
For i = 1 To UBound(b): b(i, 1) = factor: Next ' insert as many factors as array items
Else ' b) := already a factor array
For i = LBound(factor) To UBound(factor)
b(i - LBound(factor) + 1, 1) = factor(i) ' collect existing factors
Next
For i = i - LBound(factor) + 1 To UBound(b)
b(i, 1) = missingFactor ' complete missing factor items
Next
End If
' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
' calculate SumProduct (without Evaluate)
' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dim tmp: tmp = Application.MMult(a, b) ' execute MMULT() function
' return function result
SumPro = tmp(1) ' return result
End Function
Example call
Dim a: a = Array(10, 1, 30) ' base values
Dim b: b = Array(1, 1.15) ' zero-based factors, third factor left free ~> changes to zero by default
debug.print SumPro(a, b) ' ~> 11.15 as it multiplies only first two items with 10*1 + 1*1.15 + 30*0 = 11.15
For a single factor it suffices to pass a number as 2nd argument:
Debug.Print SumPro(a, 2)
WorksheetFunction.SumProduct can be used, requiring no additional function.
Debug.Print Application.WorksheetFunction.SumProduct(Array(y, z), Array(x, x))
Note that you just have to express your single factor as an array with the same shape as the target array.
Alternatively to using .Product() or .SumProduct() you an write your own functions to do algebra on arrays.
Put the following in a module
Public Function FactorArray(ByVal factor As Double, ByRef a() As Variant) As Variant()
Dim i_1 As Long, i_2 As Long, i As Long
i_1 = LBound(a, 1)
i_2 = UBound(a, 2)
Dim result() As Variant
ReDim result(i_1 To i_2)
For i = i_1 To i_2
result(i) = factor * a(i)
Next i
FactorArray = result
End Function
Public Function AddArrays(ByRef a() As Variant, ByRef b() As Variant) As Variant()
Dim i_1 As Long, i_2 As Long, i As Long
Dim j_1 As Long, j_2 As Long, n As Long
i_1 = LBound(a, 1)
i_2 = UBound(a, 2)
j_1 = LBound(b, 1)
j_2 = UBound(b, 2)
n = WorksheetFunction.Min(i_2 - i_1 + 1, j_2 - j_1 + 1)
Dim result() As Variant
ReDim result(0 To n-1)
For i = 0 To n-1
result(i) = a(i + i_1) + b(i + i_2)
Next i
AddArrays = result
End Function
Public Function SubArrays(ByRef a() As Variant, ByRef b() As Variant) As Variant()
SubArrays = AddArrays(a, FactorArray(-1, b))
End Function
Public Function DivArray(ByRef a() As Variant, ByVal divisor As Double) As Variant()
DivArray = FactorArray(1 / divisor, a)
End Function
And then use it as
Dim arr as Variant, res as Variant
arr = Array(1,2,3,4)
res = FactorArray(X, arr)
WorksheetFunction.Sum(res)
Of course for your specific example you could factor out X and just do a scalar multiplication.
Dim arr as Variant, res as Variant
arr = Array(1,2,3,4)
res = X*WorksheetFunction.Sum(arr)

I am trying to select random item from 1d array using this code
Sub Select_Random_Item_From_1D_Array()
Dim arr(), x As Long
arr = Array("Good", "Very Good", "Excellent")
Randomize
x = Int((UBound(arr) + 1) * Rnd + 1)
Debug.Print arr(x - 1)
End Sub
How can I be able to prevent a repetition? I mean I need to select all the items randomly with no repetition. And if all the items are selected then to reset the process. Simply I need to select all the items randomly
This is a simple way to return a random permutation of an array that takes exactly n steps, where n is the number of entries in the array.
Dim arr(), x As Long, r As Long
arr = Array("Good", "Very Good", "Excellent")
x = UBound(arr)
While x >= 0
r = Int(Rnd * x)
Debug.Print arr(r)
arr(r) = arr(x)
x = x - 1
Wend
Pick r at random from (0,..,x) and print out arr(r). Then replace the entry at r with the entry at x, and choose again, but this time from (0,..,x-1), and repeat until x=0.
A fuller version that lets you read one entry at a time is here:
Place this in a module:
Public rarr(), ctr As Integer, arr()
Sub init()
With Cells
.Clear
.ColumnWidth = 10
End With
Dim x As Long, r As Long
arr = Array("Very Poor", "Poor", "Average", "Good", "Very Good", "Excellent")
x = UBound(arr)
ReDim rarr(0 To x)
Randomize
While x >= 0
r = Int(Rnd * x)
rarr(x) = arr(r)
arr(r) = arr(x)
x = x - 1
Wend
[a1:f1] = rarr
ctr = 0
End Sub
Sub Button1_Click()
Cells(ctr + 3, 1) = rarr(ctr)
ctr = ctr + 1
If ctr > UBound(rarr) Then init
End Sub
and add two buttons to the worksheet. Point one at init and the other at Button1_Click. Click init first, and then pressing Button1 displays a random and unique entry one at a time.
You could create a second array of Booleans, having the same length.
This array is initialized with only False. If a value from your array is selected by the rand, then set the boolean array matching value to True. And if the rand value next time is on a value which has already been selected (with a True in the boolean array), do the rand again
Try this little example step by step, you'll see the logic:
Sub Select_Random_Item_From_1D_Array()
Dim arr(), x As Long, cpt As Long
Dim mBool(2) As Boolean
cpt = 0
arr = Array("Good", "Very Good", "Excellent")
Do While cpt < 3 '3 being the number of items in your array + 1 (from 0 to 2)
Randomize
x = Int((UBound(arr) + 1) * Rnd + 1)
If mBool(x - 1) = False Then
mBool(x - 1) = True
Debug.Print arr(x - 1)
cpt = cpt + 1
End If
Loop
End Sub
It will print a random item from your array, and every time it does so it changes the matching value of the 2nd array from False to True. Then it does it again and if it has already been printed (if the matching value on the boolean array is True) it tries again.
I added a variable named cpt, which goes from 0 to the number of items in your array, it makes the algorithm stop when it has printed all the items one time.
This is probably not he best way to do what you want, but it works and it's not that complicated
Select Random Item Series
Option Explicit
Sub resetRandomItem()

End Sub
Sub selectRandomItem()
Dim arr As Variant
arr = Array("Bad", "Better", "Good", "Very Good", "Excellent")

End Sub

' Reset 'arr': use 'getRandomItem' without 'Data1D' parameter.

If IsEmpty(arr) Then arr = Data1D
Dim lb As Long: lb = LBound(arr)
Dim ub As Long: ub = UBound(arr)
If lb = ub Then
getRandomItem = arr(lb)
arr = Empty
Else
Randomize
Dim x As Long: x = Int((ub - lb + 1) * Rnd + 1)
Dim y As Long: y = x + lb - 1
getRandomItem = arr(y)
arr(y) = Empty
Dim i As Long, k As Long
For i = lb To ub - 1
If arr(i) = Empty Then
For k = i + 1 To ub
arr(k - 1) = arr(k)
Next k
Exit For
End If
Next i
ReDim Preserve arr(ub - 1)
End If

I am trying to write an FFT application in Excel that claculates frequencies, amplitude and phase. I know how to use the in-built function but the data I am trying to analyse has 32,795 points, more than the maximum 4096 for the in-buit function.
Does anyone know how I can either (1) Increase the maximum number of data inputs? (2) Write my own macro to avoid using the in-built function (if this allows me to analyse all the points)? or (3) Start over in Matlab or a with programming language that allows me to analyse all the points and get all the data I need?
You can easily use the matlab built in function and it doesnt have the limitation like Excel and then import the results to excel
Yes, Excel FFT has the limit of data point 4096 and slow.
I programmed FFT using only Excel VBA code and there is no limit of the data point.
Below is the performance for the data point count.
There was a part where I could speed it up a bit, but I didn't b/c it makes the code less readable. However, even now, it may be the fastest FFT code in the Excel.
[data point] [FFT execution time]
4 kB 62ms
16 kB 235ms
64 kB 984ms
Computer Specification: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 # 2.80GHz
I implemented Cooley-Tukey algorithm, and use several techniques to speed-up the code running time in the Excel environment.
You can find the code and download the excel file in here. (https://infograph.tistory.com/351)

In alternative to the VBA solution from HeeJin, with LAMBDA functions in recent versions of Excel it is possible to implement the FFT as a pure formula (i.e. without VBA).
One such implementation is https://github.com/altomani/XL-FFT.
For power of two length it uses a recursive radix-2 Cooley-Tukey algorithm
and for other length a version of Bluestein's algorithm that reduces the calculation to a power of two case.
I am having some trouble figuring out how to return an array within a UDF from another UDF. The one here is a simple exponential moving average UDF and I am trying to return the array into another UDF but I am getting #value error. I feel there is a simple solution that I am not seeing. All help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

If you are calling test from a formula with a range as the arg1 parameter, then your problem is you are treating a Range as if it were an Array by calling UBound(arg2,1)
Change that to UBound(arg2.Value,1) and it will work.
Further explanation:
By declaring the arg# parameters as Variant allows the UDFs to be called with either Range's or Array's. It may be better to be specific by using either As Range or As Variant().
In Function ema this issue is avoided by the line x = arg1: If arg1 is a Range then this copies the default property of the Range which is the Value property to x, making x an array. If arg1 is an Array then it just copies that array into x.
Net result is Function ema can handle either Ranges or Arrays. There is another issue there though: WorksheetFunction.Index(x, i, 1) will fail with one dimensional Arrays. Change it to WorksheetFunction.Index(x, i) or better still Application.Index(x, i) to avoid this issue too.
I have written a VBA code that solves a set of algebraic equations of the form
A(i)X(i-1)+B(i)X(i)+C(i)X(i+1)=R(i)
A portion of the function is given below. Currently, the coefficients A, B, C, and R have to be stored in columns in the main worksheet to be passed to the function. Is there a way to provide the flexibility of having the coefficients either in rows or columns?

ReDim A(N), B(N), C(N), R(N), X(N)

C(i) = Cc.Parent.Cells(Cc.Row + i - 1, Cc.Column)

maybe you can add an optional variable to the function to indicate a column function.

I might have missed some of the functionality of your function in the example, but i think you get the point. If this does not work give me feedback and ill try another solution. :)
Edit: You can also make the function above a function that receives input form two other functions named CTRIDI and RTRIDI. These two functions just pas ether true or false to the column variable.
I have data stored in some column (Say, Column A). The length of Column A is not fixed (depends on previous steps in the code).
I need a histogram for the values in Column A, and have it in the same sheet. I need to take the values in column A, and automatically compute M Bins, then give the plot.
I looked online for a "simple" code, but all codes are really fancy, with tons of details that I don't need, to the extent that I am not even able to use it. (I am a VBA beginner.)
I found the following code that seems to do the job, but I am having trouble even calling the function. Besides, it only does computations but does not make the plot.
Sub Hist(M As Long, arr() As Single)
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Dim Length As Single
ReDim breaks(M) As Single
ReDim freq(M) As Single
For i = 1 To M
freq(i) = 0
Next i
Length = (arr(UBound(arr)) - arr(1)) / M
For i = 1 To M
breaks(i) = arr(1) + Length * i
Next i
For i = 1 To UBound(arr)
If (arr(i) <= breaks(1)) Then freq(1) = freq(1) + 1
If (arr(i) >= breaks(M - 1)) Then freq(M) = freq(M) + 1
For j = 2 To M - 1
If (arr(i) > breaks(j - 1) And arr(i) <= breaks(j)) Then freq(j) = freq(j) + 1
Next j
Next i
For i = 1 To M
Cells(i, 1) = breaks(i)
Cells(i, 2) = freq(i)
Next i
End Sub
And then I try to call it simply by:
Sub TestTrial()
Dim arr() As Variant
Dim M As Double
Dim N As Range
arr = Range("A1:A10").Value
M = 10
Hist(M, arr) ' This does not work. Gives me Error (= Expected)
End Sub
A little late but still I want to share my solution. I created a Histogram function which might be used as array formula in the excel spread sheet. Note: you must press
CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to enter the formula into your workbook. Input is the range of values and the number M of bins for the histogram. The output range must have M rows and two columns. One column for the bin value and one column for the bin frequency.
Option Explicit
Option Base 1
Public Function Histogram(arr As Range, M As Long) As Variant
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Dim val() As Variant
val = arr.Value
Dim i As Long, j As Integer
Dim Length As Single
ReDim breaks(M) As Single
ReDim freq(M) As Integer
Dim min As Single
min = WorksheetFunction.min(val)
Dim max As Single
max = WorksheetFunction.max(val)
Length = (max - min) / M
For i = 1 To M
breaks(i) = min + Length * i
freq(i) = 0
Next i
For i = 1 To UBound(val)
If IsNumeric(val(i, 1)) And Not IsEmpty(val(i, 1)) Then
If val(i, 1) > breaks(M) Then
freq(M) = freq(M) + 1
Else
j = Int((val(i, 1) - min) / Length) + 1
freq(j) = freq(j) + 1
End If
End If
Next i
Dim res() As Variant
ReDim res(M, 2)
For i = 1 To M
res(i, 1) = breaks(i)
res(i, 2) = freq(i)
Next i
Histogram = res
ErrHandler:
'Debug.Print Err.Description
End Function
Not 100% sure as to the efficacy of that approach but;
Remove the parens as your calling a sub; Hist M, arr
M is declared as double but received by the function as a long; this won't work so declare it in the calling routine as long
You will need to recieve arr() As Variant
Range -> Array produces a 2 dimensional array so the elements are arr(1, 1) .. arr(n, 1)
