Const Array
 

Hi,

I want to declare some arrays of constants.
One array has 5 elements as String, and some other arrays can have up to 100
elements as Single.
Can I do it in a single statement like: "Const InterestRate as Single =
0.07" but with allot more data?
Or do I have to first define a variable "Dim InterestRate (1 To 100) as
Single" and then assigning it by "InterestRate =
Evaluate("{0.07,0.071,0.06,0.063}") " (I'm not sure if this works...)


Best regards,
/Sören

I don't think that you can do it in the declaration, you need to dim it and
then assign it.

But just dim it as a variant variable, don't bound it.

Dim InterestRate

InterestRate = Activesheet.Evaluate("{0.07,0.071,0.06,0.063}")

I have found a better soulution:

Dim InterestRate As Variant 'Not needed to do
InterestRate = Array(0.07, 0.071, 0.06, 0.063, 0.055, 0.059)

The Array function is new for me, but I found it in the book 'Excel 2003
Power Programming with VBA', by John Walkenbach, page 295.

Better? Different yes, but not necessarily better.
