If you are using the array in multiple places then you should probably code
a small function to encapsulate it:

Function TheStates()
TheStates=Array("CA", "WA", "OR", "NV")
End Function

t once then I wouldn't bother, but it really depends on the "target
audience" (in-house utility app vs. commercial code) and how much
maintenance you expect to be doing. The more maintenance, the more you want
to isolate variables into constants or methods.

I want to include all west coast accounts with the same if statement.

If Cells(i, "e").Value = "CA" Or "WA" Or "OR" Or "NV" Then -- this
of course isn't working. How would I get it to work?- Hide quoted

Works perfectly. Thanks for the help!

On a side note... Is it considered sloppy coding to use the same
method to build arrays within the if statements or should I build the
arrays in a public statement, then reference the arrays within the if
statements?
