How to efficiently declare variables
 

I guess I don't understand how to correctly declare variables. Before I had
been writing

Dim x1, x2, x3, x4 as double

I just learned that this declares x1, x2, and x3 as variants and x4 as a
double. Is there an easier way to declare x1, x2, x3 and x4 as double other
then typing

x1 as double, x2 as double, etc.

This seems like a HUGE pain because I have about 75 variables in my module.
(These are declared at the modular level, so they can be used by all the
macros in the module)

Thanks for your help.

How to efficiently declare variables
 

You could maybe use DefDbl :

DefDbl X

This means that any variable whose name begins with
an X (or x) is automatically a double, unless it's declared
otherwise.

See Excel Help for more details..

Nope, that is what you are stuck with.

But honestly, how big a pain is it? As soon as you type D intelliesense
gives you a list of values, o a shorter list, and u, Double is at the top.

75 variables is nothing, I have hundreds of constants I declare as

Public Const COL_NAME As Long = 17

etc.

but I only do it once.
