I have two large arrays (which are actually worksheets that have been loaded
into memory for faster processing); I cycle through every 'row' in the first array to get a source value, then I cycle through every value in one 'column' of the second array to find /every/ match of that value. Due to the size of my arrays, this takes a long time (about 10 minutes). It seems that if I could use application.match, this could speed things up considerably. Can anyone suggest syntax for using application.match against a multidimensional array, and even better, how to iterate from the last found match to the end of the array each time? I'm thinking something like: Dim SourceArray (1 to 10,000, 1 to 50) Dim CheckArray (1 to 40,000, 1 to 100) 'load the sheets, then: For MySourceRow = 1 to 10000 SourceValue = SourceArray (MySourceRow, 14) FoundMatchRow = Application.Match(SourceValue, CheckArray(?,31),False) ....etc The two problems I need to overcome are (a) how do I refer to a single dimension of a multidimensional array (where the questionmark is- match against all of column 31), and (b) if I find a match, how do I make a subsequent loop only search for matches from there forward, e.g. if a match is found in row 27,418, then I want to do another application.match with the same SourceValue for rows 27,419 through 40,000 for column 31 in my CheckArray table. Thanks for any help and advice! Keith |
