Default Array/Matrix

If you want to copy and paste, you should just use the copy and paste
methods, and not worry about matrices. But if you need a dynamic
matrix, I think you should look into "Redim Preserve". Redim will
"Dim" the variable with new subscripts. For example,

Dim var (10) as long
[Use var in code. Decide that you need more than 10 long words]
Redim var (20) as long

The Redim has changed the size of the array. Unfortunately, it has
also lost the 10 values in the previous array. To save these use the
"Preserve" keyword:

Dim var (10) as long
[Use var in code. Decide that you need more than 10 long words]
Redim Preserve var (20) as long

Now, var has changed size, and the first 10 values remain unchanged.

The order of the subscripts is important in a matrix. If you are going
to change a matrix, change only the last subscript. For example:

Dim Mat (10, 5) as long
[Use var in code. Decide that you need more than 10 long words]
Redim Preserve Mat (10, 10) as long

Hope this helps,
Dom

I need help setting up an array to read data into.

I would like to read data from 3 columns on one sheet into an array and
then copy that information into another sheet.

The Array/Matrix will be 3 columns wide, but the number of rows will
need to be dynamic.

Can anyone help?

TIA
