Help, I am getting the error "Cannot assign to Array" calling on function to return array with values.
See code below.

Sub Get_Values()

Dim Arr(1 To 5) As String
Dim Txt As String

Txt = "Some Text passed to Function"

Arr = Split_Words(Txt) '<--- Error "Cannot assign to Array"

End Sub

Function Split_Words(ByRef Txt As String) As String()

Dim Arr(1 To 5) As String

'Code

Split_Words = Arr

End Function
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
How about
VBA Code:
Sub Get_Values()

Dim Arr As Variant
Dim Txt As String

Txt = "Some Text passed to Function"

Arr = Split(Txt)

End Sub

You can only assign to a dynamic array, so your declaration should be:

VBA Code:
Dim Arr() As String
