My understanding of a dictionary is that they key is mandatory but its items are not.

So why does this work:

Code:
  Dim DIC As Object
  Set DIC = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
        
  DIC.Add "MyKey", "MyItem"

but not this:

Code:
    Dim DIC As Object
    Set DIC = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
        
    DIC.Add "MyKey"

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Both are required but the item can be Null, an empty string etc.
