VBA: How to prevent 'Type mismatch' scenarios when merging arrays from different data types?
Can someone help me understand Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy... I'm working with a 'Type mismatch' behavior 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' behavior 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 scenario 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 behavior. Any insights on how to merge these arrays without running into this type mismatch scenario? Additionally, is there a best practice for handling arrays of different data types that you would recommend? For context: I'm using Vba on Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated! For context: I'm using Vba on macOS. Thanks in advance!
