Help needed: looping within loops

Hi,

I really appreciate your help in this as I am new to VBA. I have an Infopath form that basically stores data that users fill in, in XML format. Then, it will be passed to Excel to treat the data. Some data remains constant throughout e.g. Names and Date. However, as the form is trying to accommodate multiple transactions to be recorded within the same date, some data is unique to each transaction e.g. Price/Currency.

As such I am trying to create a code such that data that is unique to each transaction will be looped over from 1 to 10 (max amount of transactions that can be recorded within the same form) and they are now renamed as 'Price 1', 'Price 2' etc. All this while, data that is the same (e.g. name and date) still remains in the table and each transaction is saved into the Database before moving on to the next transaction's data. If there is no more transaction, the code should stop running.

When i click run, it prompts me for the name of the macro and does not run at all. I'm not sure how to go about editing it too. Will really appreciate your help. Thank you!

I have tried the following code:

Code:

---

Sub sub_inputData(dicData AsDictionary)
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws =ActiveSheet
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim vTemp As Variant
Range("rInputStart").Parent.Calculate
vTemp =Range(Range("rInputStart").Offset(1),_
Range("rInputStart").End(xlDown).Offset(0,2)).value

Dim price as Long 
Dim currency As String: currency = vbNullString
Dim exchangeRate as String: exchangeRate = vbNullString
Dim remark as String: remark = vbNullString

For j =1To10

price = price & dicData ("price" & CStr (j))&"|"
price = price ("rPriceManual").value 'and at this point, other functions will be called to convert the prices to different currencies etc,aslongas the prices are inserted into the table correctly

currency = currency & dicData("dl_currency"&CStr(j))&"|"
exchangeRate =(exchangeRate & dicData("exchange_rate"&CStr(j))&"|")/100
Remark= remark & dicData("remarks"&CStr(j))&"|"

  For i =LBound(vTemp,1)ToUBound(vTemp,1)
    If vTemp(i,1)="currency"And dicData(dl_currency)<> vbNullString Then
      vTemp(i,3)= currency
    End if
    If vTemp (i,2) = "remark" then
      vTemp(i,3)=Remark
    EndIf
    If vTemp(i,2)="exchangeRate"Then
        vTemp(i,3)= exchangeRate
    EndIf
  Next i

Next j

End Sub

It looks to me that your problem is that your subroutine requires a parameter value. You either need t get rid of it and find another way to get the parameter value, or have another sub that set the dictionary and passes it to your sub.

You can't run a sub (via F5 or Alt-F8) if it requires a parameter

Before anyone spends significant time on this one, be aware that this has been cross posted to at least 3 other sites.

I'm so sorry, didn't mean to cross-post as I am really anxious to rope in other experts' help. So sorry about that.

Posting in other forums is fine, but they (like VBAexpress) just like to know if you posted other places
