storing processed data

[NIMANIMA50]

Hi

assuming that we have below sub that generate a 2d array.

sub test()
     dim arr(1 to10, 1 to 10)

     for i =1 to 10
          arr(i,1)=i: arr(i,2)=2*i
     next i

end sub

is it possible to store the arr() in the memory (something like data dump) and use it in other subs without calculating it again?

thanks

make your array variable Public

public arr(1 to 10, 1 to 10) as Long

sub test()
...
...

Avoid public variables; use

Dim arr(9,9)

or

Private arr(9,9)

Thank you it works.Here is what i did :

Public arr(1 To 10, 1 To 10) As LongSub test()
     For i = 1 To 10
          arr(i, 1) = i: arr(i, 2) = 2 * i
     Next i
End Sub

I was able to read the values of Arr from other subs.

or

i tried this :

Private arr(1 To 10, 1 To 10) As Long
Sub test()
     For i = 1 To 10
          arr(i, 1) = i: arr(i, 2) = 2 * i
     Next i
End Sub

but did not work, I can not read the values of Arr from other subs.
may I know why you recommended to avoid using Public variables?

You can't use the same variable name in another Macromodule.

Dim sn(9, 0)

Sub M_snb()
  For j = 0 To 9
    sn(j, 0) = j
  Next
  
  M_snb_002
End Sub
   
Sub M_snb_002()
   MsgBox sn(4, 0)
End Sub

Sub M_snb()
  For j = 0 To 9
    sn(j, 0) = j
  Next
  
  M_snb_002
End Sub
   
Sub M_snb_002()
   MsgBox sn(4, 0)
End Sub

in your method i can only use the array while the main module is running (in your example "sub M_snb()".
i prefer @arnelgp method as it will give me the possibility of using the array even if the main module is done running.

You don't understand the structure of a VBA project.
Please master VBA fundamentals first.

i agree that i dont know many things about VBA.That is the reason Im posting my questions here so people with good understanding about VBA enlighten me.
but your suggestions to my question ,as a person that understand structure of a VBA project, does not solve my problem.
if you think i am not applying your method properly, please let me know how it should be done. Thanks

Your attitude towards people trying to learn VBA stinks

Not sure if anything is lost in translation but it needs to be remembered that people come here to learn (as I did), your messages quite often come across as someone who is on a high horse.

You could also argue that your explanations are sub standard.

Moderators can delete my account if this is a problem, I have had enough of the clique here that support such people.

This is not a question, but a statement.
That statement can only based on .....
The best advice to give I gave you.
