I'm just poking around with arrays to refresh myself since it's been a while, but perhaps someone could answer this question.
When I set the array to a 2d range (H1:I2), it works. When I loop through to set the 1d array, it works. When I try to set the 1d array similar to the 2d array, I get subscript out of range errors when I try to print the values. Can I not set a 1d array with a range like this?
VBA Code:
arr() = ws.Range("A1:A5").Value
Debug.Print arr(1)

VBA Code:
Private Sub ArrayTestI()
Dim ws As Worksheet:            Set ws = Sheets("Array Testing Grounds")
Dim lRow, i&:                   lRow = ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Dim arr() As Variant:           ReDim arr(lRow)

'This does not work as expected.
arr() = ws.Range("A1:A5").Value
Debug.Print arr(1)

'This works as expected.
'arr() = ws.Range("H1:I2").Value
'Debug.Print arr(1, 1)
'Debug.Print arr(1, 2)
'Debug.Print arr(2, 1)
'Debug.Print arr(2, 2)

'This also works as expected.
'For i = 1 To lRow
'    arr(i - 1) = ws.Range("A" & i).Value
'    Debug.Print arr(i - 1)
'Next i

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Whenever you pull a range straight into an array, the array will be 2D regardless or the number of rows/columns.

In the case of my example, A1:A5, then, how would I reference the values without getting the subscript error?

Exactly the same way as you do for a 2d array.
VBA Code:
Debug.Print arr(1, 1)
