As a side note, are you aware of the function MMult?

Sub Demo()
Dim m, m1, m2
m1 = [{1,2;3,4;5,6}]
m2 = [{11,12,13;14,15,16}]

With WorksheetFunction
m = .MMult(m1, m2)
End With
End Sub

Hi

You can not pass two arrays to an UDF, so I have changed it to two ranges,
where the values will be processed.

I'm not sure what you expect to get as output. A function will only return
one value. As the function is working now it will return the value of the
first element in "OutMatrix".

Hopes it helps.

Public Function MatrixMult(InMatrix1 As Range, InMatrix2 As Range) As
Variant

'generic matrix multiplication engine, pure BASIC code
Dim OutMatrix()
Dim i As Integer, k As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim Sum As Integer
ReDim OutMatrix(1 To InMatrix1.Rows.Count, 1 To InMatrix2.Columns.Count)

Application.Volatile 'force recalculation with spreadsheet

For i = 1 To InMatrix1.Rows.Count 'rows of inmatrix1
For j = 1 To InMatrix2.Columns.Count 'cols of inmatrix2
Sum = 0
For k = 1 To InMatrix1.Columns.Count
Sum = Sum + InMatrix1.Cells(i, k) * InMatrix2.Cells(k, j)
Next
OutMatrix(i, j) = Sum
Next
Next

MatrixMult = OutMatrix

End Function

Best regards,
Per

I have defined two matrices InMatrix1 and InMatrix2 on a spredsheet by
names.
The programme does not execute.
When I type UBound in the VBEditor, there is no prompt for the UBound
word
after I press shift+spacebar.

What is the problem?
