Declare and Initialize String Array in VBA

📝🔥📢 Hey tech enthusiasts! Are you struggling with declaring and initializing a string array in VBA? 🤔 No worries, we're here to rescue! 💪💡

So, let's dive straight into the infamous case we found on a stack overflow post. 😮 The code mentioned goes like this:

Dim arrWsNames As String() = {"Value1", "Value2"}

At first glance, everything seems fine, but guess what? It's not working as expected! 😫

The problem lies in the declaration and initialization of the string array. In Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), we don't use the () syntax to declare an array. 🚫 Here's where the confusion starts! Let's break it down together, shall we? 😉

Instead of using String(), we can declare the string array using the String syntax, followed by an empty pair of parentheses (). It should look something like this:

Dim arrWsNames() As String

Great! 👍 Now that we have the array declared, it's time to initialize it with our desired values. For that, we can use the Array function. 🤩 Here's how it looks in action:

arrWsNames = Array("Value1", "Value2")

By using the Array("Value1", "Value2") syntax, we're assigning the values "Value1" and "Value2" to the arrWsNames string array. 🎉

Voilà! Your string array is now declared and initialized successfully! 🎊

Now, didn't I tell you it's super easy to solve this issue? 😉 Feel free to give it a try and let us know if you have any further questions or problems. We're here to help you! 🤗💪
