Dynamic Variables
 

How do you create a variable variable? Consider this code
dim x as strin
x = "Whatever
the character 'x' may be different (for later use) and needs to be dynamically defined in code from a cell value

TIA

For what purpose? In most cases you wont need to do that.


It is possible. I know you can dynamically alter the code in a module using
VBComponent object. I have some examples on my website - but as I said, I
think it's unnecessary. Just tell us the reason behind it. Perhaps there's a
better way.

Hi Rob

Just for the sake of it if I'm honest. The idea was born out of need to loop through 100 or so sheets and returning a value for each one after a series of calculations, hence the variable could have a letter and the sheets number added

Hi
for this use an array variable. e.g. try something like
the following:


Sub get_sheetnames()
Dim sname()
Dim wks_index
Dim wks_count
wks_count = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
ReDim sname(1 To wks_count)

For wks_index = 1 To wks_count
sname(wks_index) = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
(wks_index).Name
Next

For wks_index = 1 To wks_count
MsgBox sname(wks_index)
Next
End Sub

It sounds like you want a dynamic array.

Sub test()
Dim arr()
Dim i As Long

ReDim arr(100)

For i = 1 To 100
arr(i) = i * 10
Next

For i = 1 To 100
Debug.Print arr(i)
Next
End Sub
