Hello all,

I am trying to use arrays for the first time and I am flummoxed! Although the array seems to be populating when I write the values to it, any attempt to read those values fail as nothing is returned. Now I KNOW that this is my stupidity and I have checked and rechecked the code that I cobbled together but I simply cannot see where I am going wrong. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

I would like to write the array to a range in Sheet1 but no values are returned and when I test with debug.print it seems that the array contains only 3 or 4 values instead of the dozens that were written to it. Please forgive my messy code!

Code:

Hello @Fluff!

Apologies if this is like the return of a bad nightmare, but I hope you'll be able to give me some more advice on this project if I haven't frustrated you enough yet! :laugh:

Everything you have helped me with so far works beautifully. However, I also have to segregate unique clients/households by the number and value of the orders they have placed over several months. So for example, I need to count how many households placed only 1 order and sum the value of those orders. Then count how many households placed 2 orders, and sum the value of those orders and so on an so forth until households who placed 25 orders or more.

I have done some thinking and it seems to me as if I need to create an array containing variables to store the number of unique households that have placed 1 order, 2 orders, 3 orders, up to 25 orders and the values of those orders for each instance. I have no idea how to count and store how many households place x number of orders though. Would it work to write the value 1 to for each unique household ID to an array when they first order and then having to search the array for that ID when it next occurs in a transaction, then adding +1 to that record or am I oversimplifying/overcomplicating this?

Or should I rather use the same Master array that counts unique households and just add additional dimensions for number of orders and orders value for that Household ID and then run a calculation on that array to determine how many households ordered 1, 2 or x times?

One caveat: I have had to adapt the Dictionary references as the code has to run on Excel for Mac which does not provide for Dictionary. Here is where I am now (Again, please overlook my messy code and random commenting!):

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
As this needs to work on a Mac, you'd better start a new thread, as I have no knowledge of Macs.
