Recursion
Are there any limits to the depth level of recursion, or is it
determined by memory Are there any functions you can call like you can in 'C' to see if you'll have enough free memory to allocate a whole stash of stuff?? -- Mike |

Recursion
It is limited by the amount of stack space. To the best of my knowledge,
this is fixed and can not be queried as to how much is used and how much remains available. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Mike NG" wrote in message ...

Recursion
Hi Mike,
AFAIK, no such limit has been published. I have several functions in which the level of recursion is 100 (Markov chains for disability insurance) and have not experienced any problems so far. -- Kind Regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "Mike NG" wrote in message ...

Hi Mike, Depth of recursion is limited by Excel's available stack space. There isn't any way to determine the amount of stack space available. There's a VBA call you can use to determine the amount of system memory available (Application.MemoryFree), but this reports available system memory, not internal stack space available. -- Rob Bovey, Excel MVP Application Professionals http://www.appspro.com/ * Take your Excel development skills to the next level. * Professional Excel Development http://www.appspro.com/Books/Books.htm |
