writing a small array to a single cell as a string
 

I've been knocking my head against the desk for a few days about
this... probably due more to my inexperience than the difficulty of the
problem. I have a small (variable size )array and I want to write it to
a single cell as a string. Like this
10 12 10 12

I'm seeing lot's of things about turning stuff into arrays, but haven't
found anything I can adapt to going the other way. Here's my code:

Sub Tester3()

Dim aStr As String
Dim myarray(3)
myarray = Array("10", "12", "10", "12")
Dim i As Variant
For i = LBound(myarray) To UBound(myarray)
sStr = myarray(i) & ", " & IIf(aStr = "", "", ", ") & i.Value

Next i

Debug.Print (aStr)

I got the sStr - myarray... from something T. Ogilvy suggested for a
different, but to me similar problem. I get an error saying I need an
object. I know I need to concatenate the values, but what am I missing?
(besides decent knowledge;-)

Hi green fox

Try this, please


Option Explicit

Sub Tester3()

Dim myarray() As Variant
Dim sStr As String
Dim i As Long

myarray = Array(10, 11, 12, 13)

For i = LBound(myarray) To UBound(myarray)
If sStr = vbNullString Then
sStr = myarray(i)
Else
sStr = sStr & ", " & myarray(i)
End If
Next i
Debug.Print (sStr)
End Sub

Thanks Alan, I had to change the aStr=myarray(1) to aStr=myarray(0) to
get the result I wanted. Has that something to do with the option base
thing?

I appreciate your help, and I'll sleep better tonight, thanks.

Thanks Joergen, it worked like a charm. It will take me a little while
to understand the logic but I'm happy to take the time. Thanks to you
and Alan for you prompt replies.

Yes.

just curious if this does what you want

Option Explicit
Sub Tester3()
Dim i As Long
Dim myarray() As Variant
myarray = Array("10", "12", "10", "12")

For i = LBound(myarray) To UBound(myarray)
Range("a1").Value = Range("A1").Value & " " & myarray(i)
Debug.Print myarray(i)

Next

How about:
MsgBox Join(myarray, " ")

Not sure how far back Join goes though (XL97?)

Hi Gary,

No, that didn't work...it was similar to what I had in the first place
the result was four separate numbers, not the for numbers together in
one string separated by spaces.

Slick. That worked like a charm. I stumbled on the join while
scrounging around the group, I didn't get it though. Missed by that
much.

Thanks Tim
