Default 2 dimensional split?

Oops. Sorry. It seems way too easy to create an empty post (I accidentally
hit Enter,) but I take full responsibility. Anyway, on to my question:

I have a cell, for instance, with the following data (each line seperated by
chr(10):

3/1/2006 6:00:00 PM;P
3/2/2006 5:00:00 PM;P
3/11/2006 10:00:00 AM;P
3/22/2006 7:00:00 PM;P
3/1/2006 7:00:00 PM;B
3/2/2006 6:00:00 PM;B
3/11/2006 11:00:00 AM;B
3/22/2006 6:00:00 PM;B

From the Immediate window, I tried the following:

vaArray = split(activecell.Value, chr(10))
? vaarray(0)
3/1/2006 6:00:00 PM;P
vaarray2 = split(vaarray(0), ";")
? vaarray2(1)
P

The following line gives me the error: Run Time Error '13': Type Mismatch
vaarray = split(split(activecell.Value, chr(10)), ";")

I know I can get the information differently, but I was kind of hoping to be
able to create a 2 dimensional array in one shot, and then, for instance,
count the number of "P", "B" or there could be 3 other letters that aren't
shown here (C, I, or U for the curious.)

Is what I'm trying possible but I am using the incorrect syntax, or is it
impossible? I am guessing the latter, but thought I would ask here to make
sure. Thanks.
