    Post Tutorial for populating a 100x100 array with a random number between 1 and X

    Hi there all,

    I'm looking to see if anyone can point me towards a tutorial or set of tutorials that would help me create and populate a vba 100x100 array with a random whole number between 1 and X, where X is likely 32 or somewhere near it, but I've not yet finalised.

    The answer to this would be lovely, but I think i'd learn more if anyone could guide me.... I've searched a number of tutorials on arrays, and will keep doing so, but being completely new to arrays, it's tough going and I wondered if anyone knows of any particularly good tutorials...


    Thanks in advance...

    Darth

    Hi there and thanks for the reply... however unless i'm missing something, this doesn't help with a VBA Array... I guess I should have specified, but I thought using the term Array, and posting in the Macro forum would make it clear. I do appreciate the response though, and don't want to sound ungrateful, this just isn't what I'm looking for.

    Create Array in memory and write to worksheet in 1 go.

    Avoid using Select, Selection and Activate in your code. Use With ... End With instead.

    Oh crap... I think i've figured it, though I don't understand why...

    I changed "Dim MapArray() As Byte" to Integer.... the code now works.
