I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are trying to do, but if the
functions in the freely downloadable file at
http://home.pacbell.net/beban are available to your workbook, the
following, array entered into a column of cells long enough to
accommodate the output will return

1360
1365
1370
1375
1380

=VLookups(E1,INDIRECT("A1:C" & COUNTA(A:A)),2)

and the following will return the same array to arr, which could then be
passed to a function:

Sub abtest5()
Dim arr() 'This will be the array to be passed to a function
Dim arrTotal() 'This will be an array of the total data range
Dim arrU() 'This will be the vertical array of unique
'values from column A of the data range
Dim x As Long

x = Application.CountA(Range("A:A"))
arrU = ArrayUniques(Range("A1:A" & x))
arrTotal = Range("A1:C" & x)
arr = VLookups(arrU(1, 1), arrTotal, 2)
End Sub

To return the array corresponding to 25 in Column A you would change
arrU(1,1) to arrU(2,1); i.e., the second element in the array of unique
values.

Post back if i've misunderstood.

consider the following example:

i need to get excel to create a dynamic range based that can determine
the number of consecutive rows in the below array (e.g. 18) , the
number of rows may change (increase/decrease). once that range is
determined i need a function that can create a dyamic range based on
some criteria (in this example, 'days'). in colume E i'm able to find
the unique days from column A. so, if there were some way to find all
the ranges associated w/each 'day' that would be ideal. for example,
if i were to chose the# 12 from column E, some function would return
back the array, B1:B5, or if i were to chose# 25 in column E, it would
return B6:B11. I tried to do this with COUNT and create a string
B6:B11, but was unable to pass it to the function I was using. if
there is any way to do this in VBA, any tips would be greatly
appreciated.
