This is my data:
Code:
1    4
2    5
3    6
What is wrong with this?
Code:
Dim MyArray() As Long
    
MyArray() = Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion.Value
Seems to only work if MyArray is declared as a Variant.
Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
Will also work if you dimension MyArray like this:

Code:
Redim MyArray(1 to 3, 1 to 2)
MyArray() = Cells(1,1).CurrentRegion.Value

But you haven't declared the array to be of a specific type, hence have implicitly declared it as a Variant.

All my data are integers, so I thought declaring it MyArray as Long would work but it doesn't.

Value returns a Variant, and you can only assign one array to a dynamic array if the types match, hence you can't use Long unless you loop.
