Can a function be defined as an array and take on multiple values?

For example,



Function A(arg1, arg2, arg2) As Integer()
Dim AA(3) As Integer
AA(1) = arg1 + arg2
AA(2) = arg1 * arg2
AA(3) = arg1 / arg3
A = AA
End Function

and, if so, how is the function referenced by the calling procedure?

Function A(arg1, arg2, arg3) As Variant
Dim AA(3) As Integer
AA(1) = arg1 + arg2
AA(2) = arg1 * arg2
AA(3) = arg1 / arg3
A = AA
End Function

Sub TestMyFunction()
Dim varaMyArray As Variant
varaMyArray = A(1, 2, 3)
Debug.Print varaMyArray(1)
Debug.Print varaMyArray(2)
Debug.Print varaMyArray(3)
End Sub

This was too easy. I had tried essentially the same code as in your TestMyFunction but had dimensioned varaMyArray.

Thanks

xCav8r has the answer for you. It's basically the only way of doing it (setting the function as a variant). You can't Dim or Redim the function with dimensions, but you can set the function to another array (as xCav8r shows, A= AA), use A = Array(x,y,z), or A = ActiveSheet.Cells(1,1).Resize(4,5) or whatever methods you know of for creating an array in a variant without explicitly dim'ing it as an array.
