Default Check if a String is inside an Array

You can use the worksheet function Index:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim res As Variant
Dim MyArray As Variant

MyArray = Array("Test", "This")

res = Application.Match("this", MyArray, 0)

If IsError(res) Then
MsgBox "Not in there"
Else
MsgBox "It's there and at position: " & res
End If

End Sub

Hi,
If I were to check if a variable: A="Test" is inside a list of
possible strings,Iīll do this:

Dim A as string
Dim B as variant
Dim MyArray As variant

MyArray=Array("Test", "This")
For Each B in MyArray
If A=B then Msgbox "Itīs inside the group
Next A

Is it possible to test this in other way; something like this
If A is in/like MyArray then....... ---without looping inside the
array

Thanks.
LC
