Anyone use VBA in Excel: eclaring Arrays as Public

In summary, VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) is a programming language used to create macros and automate tasks in Microsoft Office applications, including Excel. An array in VBA is a data structure used to store multiple values of the same data type in a single variable, allowing for efficient storage and retrieval of data. To declare an array as public in VBA, you can use the Public keyword before the array name in the module level declarations section. Using public arrays in VBA has the benefits of easy communication and sharing of data between different procedures and modules, reducing duplicate code and improving program efficiency. However, there are limitations such as being limited to the same project and potentially using more memory space and causing data conflicts if not used carefully.

Anyone use VBA in Excel::Declaring Arrays as Public

Egads man...I have seen plenty of modules with arrays declared as Public. Clearly I am making some boneheaded error here and cannot locate it:

Solved:

After some searching I found that the error is because I wrote my code in a sheet and not a module... :/

I have not personally used VBA in Excel, but I am familiar with the concept of declaring arrays as public. This allows the array to be accessed and modified by other modules or procedures within the same workbook. It can be a useful tool for organizing and sharing data in Excel. However, it is important to carefully check for any errors or mistakes in the code, as even small errors can cause issues when working with arrays. I would suggest double checking your code and possibly seeking assistance from others who have more experience with VBA in Excel. Collaboration and troubleshooting are important aspects of the scientific process, and can help you identify and solve any issues you may be facing. Keep working at it and don't be discouraged, as persistence and attention to detail are key qualities of a successful scientist.
