Single cell array

[aurelius89]

I have a snippet of code below which will assign a range to an array, all works well:

Dim rngAB As Range
Dim arr() As Variant
Set rngAB = wsWeights.Range("AB4:AB" & wsWeights.Cells(Rows.count, "AB").End(xlUp).Row)
 arr = rngAB

However, when they result of the .End(xlUP).row is 4 which makes the outcome of the range "AB4:AB4" it throws up an error.
So I changed to this:

If wsWeights.Cells(Rows.count, "AB").End(xlUp).Row = 4 Then    
Set rngAB = wsWeights.Range("AB4")
    arr = rngAB
Else
    Set rngAB = wsWeights.Range("AB4:AB" & wsWeights.Cells(Rows.count, "AB").End(xlUp).Row)
    arr = rngAB
End If

Now it lets me assign the range but I cannot put that single cell range into the array. It states "Type mismatch"

What am I doing wrong?

You are not doing anything wrong... apparently Excel/VBA does not consider a single cells to be an array. You can do what you show above, although (personal preference) I would pull the arr=rngAB line of code from each If..Then..Else block and put it under the End If instead. Another way to handle it would be to expand the range by one row to force an array in just a single line of code and, depending on what your code is doing, either process the blank array element or set your limits to ignore it when processing it (and assuming you have something in cell AB3, like a head, to make sure the End(xlUp) stops at AB4).
