I have 4 separate user forms that have a variable number of textboxes and labels based on a user defined parameter. For this question I will be looking at one in particular, however let me first list my global variables:
Option Explicit
Public BuildingNumber As Long
Public UnitNumber As Long
Public FixtureNumber As Long
Public array1() As String
Public array2() As String
Public array3() As String
Public array4() As String

At the very bottom is my current code for my first userform. The rest of my userforms are fairly similar in terms of code they just operate for different constraints. I am trying to set the value entered into txtBox 1 through however many I have get saved into an array that then is used when i click on a commandbutton on the last userform which has the following code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim s As Long
Dim iFirst As String
Dim iLast As String
Dim iRange As Range

s = 0
Cells(5, 1).Value = "Units"
For i = 1 To BuildingNumber
Cells(4, 1 + i + s).Value = array1(i)
iFirst = Selection.Offset(4, 1 + i + s).Address
iLast = Selection.Offset(4, 1 + i + s + array2(i)).Address
Set iRange = Range(iFirst & ":" & iLast)
iRange.Merge
For j = 1 To array2(i)
Cells(5, 1 + j + s).Value = "Floor " & j
s = s + j
Next j
Next i
End Sub

Array1 in the above code is my building name and array2 is the number of floors that building has. Essentially I am trying to make it look like the below table except the building name gets merged based on the number of floors that building has. So Building 1 would be merged with the next 3 cells and building 2 would merge with the next 2 cells. However the number of floors changes from projects to project so I want it to be user defined.

Building 1Building 2
UnitsFloor 1Floor 2Floor 3Floor 4Floor 1Floor 2Floor 3

I apologize if this is confusing, if it is please let me know and will try to make my question more concise. Thank you for helping with this!

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.

I've been looking into this and started wondering should I be making a class module instead of a normal module for this? If so would it be easier to consolidate my 4 userforms into one that just has multiple tabs?
