Collection Variable
Try the dictionary object - its part of Microsoft Scripting Runtime - set a
reference to this from the Tools/References menu.
An advantage of the Dictionary is that you can load the keys as well as the
items into a variant & dump to a sheet.
The following code should be in a standard module and the reference set.
Option Explicit
Private mDictionary As Scripting.Dictionary
Sub Main()
Range("B:C").Clear
LoadDictioanry
DumpDictionary
End Sub
Private Sub LoadDictioanry()
Dim index As Long
Dim key As String
Set mDictionary = New Scripting.Dictionary
For index = 1 To 50 + Int(Rnd() * 50)
key = ""
Do While Len(key) < (2 + Int(Rnd() * 5))
key = key & Chr(65 + Int(26 * Rnd))
Loop
If Not mDictionary.Exists(key) Then
mDictionary.Add key, Rnd() * 1000
End If
Next
End Sub
Private Sub DumpDictionary()
Dim keys
Dim items
keys = mDictionary.keys
Range(Range("B2"), Cells(mDictionary.Count + 1, 2)) = _
Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(keys)
Range(Range("C2"), Cells(mDictionary.Count + 1, 3)) = _
Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(mDictionar y.items)
End Sub
For the answer to the question, examine the DumpDictionary procedure. Run
Main for the demo.

Hey guys
I have a collection variable called "TestCollection"
How do I specify to dump the entire collection into range
A:A?
Lets say there are 3 items in the collection... First
item is dog, second is cat, third is bird. I want cell A1
to say dog, cell A2 to say cat, and cell A3 to say bird.
How do I do this?
Thank you
Todd Huttenstine
