VBA: How to prevent 'Type mismatch' error when merging arrays from different data types?
I'm encountering a 'Type mismatch' error when trying to merge two arrays in VBA that originate from different data types. I have one array, `arrNumbers`, which stores integers, and another array, `arrNames`, which holds strings. I want to combine these into a single 2D array for further processing. Here's the code I've written so far: ```vba Dim arrNumbers() As Variant Dim arrNames() As Variant Dim mergedArray() As Variant Dim i As Long Dim j As Long arrNumbers = Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) arrNames = Array("Alice", "Bob", "Charlie", "David", "Eve") ReDim mergedArray(0 To UBound(arrNumbers), 0 To 1) For i = LBound(arrNumbers) To UBound(arrNumbers) mergedArray(i, 0) = arrNumbers(i) mergedArray(i, 1) = arrNames(i) Next i ``` However, when I run this, I get a 'Type mismatch' error at the line `mergedArray(i, 1) = arrNames(i)`. I've checked that both arrays are properly defined and that `UBound(arrNumbers)` and `UBound(arrNames)` match. I suspect the issue might be related to how VBA handles different data types within arrays. I've tried explicitly converting the elements of `arrNames` to strings using `CStr`, but it didn't resolve the error. Any insights on how to merge these arrays without running into this type mismatch issue? Additionally, is there a best practice for handling arrays of different data types that you would recommend?
