The most efficient way by far is to declare a variant variable and assign
the range to it.

its usually best to use varArr=oRange.value2 rather than varArr=oRange.value
or varArr=oRange because you usually want cells formatted as currency or
dates to be coerced to doubles rather than currency or dates.

What is the most efficient way to read a range's data into
a two-dimensional array? I have been in the habit of
using loops, but wonder if there aren't better ways, like
just declaring a variant variable and assigning it to the
range's values, which seems to work (and it's simple).
