You probably meant
Range("a" & i) = E(1)

should be

Range("a" & i) = E(i)

You could just do this:

Sub test()
For i = 1 To 2
Range("a" & i) = "Error " & i
Next i
End Sub

But I think you're trying to do this:

Sub test2()
Dim i As Long
Dim E(1 To 2) As String

E(1) = "Error 1"
E(2) = "Error 2"
For i = 1 To 2
Range("a" & i) = E(1)
Next i
End Sub

VBA won't allow you to build variable names on the fly (like some other
languages) like you originally wanted.

I would like cells A1, A2 etc to populate with "Error 1", "Error 2"
etc. However when I use this:

Sub test()

E1 = "Error 1"
E2 = "Error 2"

For i = 1 To 2
Range("a" & i) = "E" & i
Next i

End Sub

I get "E1", "E2 as a result. I know I am making a silly goof and help
would be greatly appreciated.
