Default Fast record searching in array

Thanks for your solution.

But what if not one dimensional array but I would like to find the
information in the nth dimension?

Maybe...

Is it a one dimensional array?

dim myArr as Variant
dim res as variant
myArr = array(1,3,6,7)
res = application.match(6,myarr,0)
if iserror(res) then
msgbox "no match"
else
msgbox "match at: " & res
end if

Hi,

I know that there is the SEARCH command to find a record location quickly
in
a range of cells. However I would like to know whether it has the same
command to find record location in array.

I have searched a lot of information in many VBA sites. They all suggest
to
use a looping method like FOR....NEXT, DO....WHILE, etc to achieve this.
However, I found that if the quantity of array record is over serveral
thousand, using the looping method to locate the record is very slow.

I know it is work by using the temorary sheet rather than array for such
case. I also test it and it found quite slower than using the array
method.

Is there a command or otherwise to have a fast searching in array?

Regards,
Chris
