Longer loop than expected
Hello,
I always think: oh I can do that quickly in a couple of minutes and then it seems to take me houres... So here's what happened this time: I programmed a small loop but excel seems to loop through it a more than the possible maximum and somtimes gives unexpected results. Maybe it has something to do with formulas: When the values of the array (range) are not formulas: it works ok. But if there are formulas... Function lastvalueinarray(table_array As Range) As Variant Dim i As Integer Application.Volatile i = 1 MsgBox (table_array.Rows.Count) While i < table_array.Rows.Count MsgBox (i) MsgBox (table_array.Item(i, 1).Value) i = i + 1 Wend lastvalueinarray = table_array(i, 1).Value End Function The messageboxes are there as a sort of debugging. One should expect that the maximum number of loops is 'count'. So there would appear 2xcount messageboxes. But it is a multiple of that. On top of that: If the array (range) contains #N/A as result of a formula the result is #Value! instead of the last value in the array. I know there are easier ways of getting the last value. But this provides an easy way of showing and explaining the problem whithout posting 2 pages of code. Thanks |
