Hello everyone I hav somee code which shold work but it is returning an error code 9 and I have no idea why. It's supposed to loop through a range of cells with strings that look like this: "AM17, 12: ;HM2; AM40; AM45, 13". I'm sure the code works but I don't understand how to solve this error.

Code:
Option Explicit
Sub FillPlayerRating()

    Dim rng As Range, cell As Range
    Dim ArrayCount As Integer
    Dim i As Long
    Set rng = Range("CE3:CE24")
    Dim size_1d As Integer
    
        For Each cell In rng
        Dim arr_1d() As String
        arr_1d = Split(cell.Value, ";")
        size_1d = UBound(arr_1d) - LBound(arr_1d)
        
        Dim arr_2d() As String
        ReDim arr_2d(size_1d, 1) As String
            
            For i = 0 To size_1d
            Dim temp() As String
            temp = Split(arr_1d(i), ",")
            Dim size_temp As Integer
            size_temp = UBound(temp) - LBound(temp) + 1
            If size_temp = 1 Then
                arr_2d(i, 0) = Trim(temp(0))
            ElseIf size_temp = 2 Then
                arr_2d(i, 0) = Trim(temp(0))
                arr_2d(i, 0) = Trim(temp(1))
            End If
            
            Next i
        
        ' Range("CS20").Value = arr()
        Next cell

End Sub
 
When the argument for Split is a zero-length string ( "" ), it returns an empty array with no elements and no data. In this case, UBound returns -1. So let's say the cell is empty, we get the following...

VBA Code:
size_1d = UBound(arr_1d) - LBound(arr_1d)

size_1d = ( -1 ) - ( 0 )

size_1d = -1

...which returns an error when ReDim'ing.

johnnyL is asking the right question, I eagerly await the answer.

Did you check to see whether size_1d contains a negative value when the error occurs?

Does your range contain one or more empty cells? If so, you should test for it in your loop, for example...

VBA Code:
    For Each cell In Rng
        If Len(cell.Value) > 0 Then
            'your code here
            '
            '
        End If
    Next cell

ok i get that but what should i do for my code to work correctly

I tried this an my code is not giving me the desired results, here is my new code

Code:
Option Explicit
Sub FillPlayerRating()

    Dim rng As Range, cell As Range
    Dim ArrayCount As Integer
    Dim i As Long
    Set rng = Range("CE3:CE24")
    Dim size_1d As Integer
    
        For Each cell In rng
        
            If Len(cell.Value) > 0 Then
                
                Dim arr_1d() As String
                arr_1d = Split(cell.Value, ";")
                size_1d = UBound(arr_1d) - LBound(arr_1d)
                
                Range("CS20") = size_1d
                
                Dim arr_2d() As String
                ReDim arr_2d(size_1d, 1) As String
        
                    For i = 0 To size_1d
                    Dim temp() As String
                    temp = Split(arr_1d(i), ",")
                    Dim size_temp As Integer
                    size_temp = UBound(temp) - LBound(temp) + 1
                    If size_temp = 1 Then
                        arr_2d(i, 0) = Trim(temp(0))
                    ElseIf size_temp = 2 Then
                        arr_2d(i, 0) = Trim(temp(0))
                        arr_2d(i, 0) = Trim(temp(1))
                    End If
        
                    Next i
                
              Range("CS20").Value = arr_2d(1, 0)
                
            End If
            
        Next cell

End Sub

I don't know what you mean when you say that it's not giving you the desired result. Did my suggestion address your original error? If so, and if you have a new question, please start a new thread and ask your question there.
