How store a range from excel into a Range variable?

Question

I am reading some cells of excel using VBA.

Function getData(currentWorksheet as Worksheet, dataStartRow as Integer, _
dataEndRow as Integer, DataStartCol as         


        

Answer 1

Declare your dim as a variant, and pull the data as you would from an array. i.e.

Dim y As Variant
y = Range("A1:B2")

Now your excel range is all 1 variable (array), y

To pull the data, call the array position in the range "A1:B2" or whatever you choose. e.g.:

Msgbox y(1, 1)

This will return the top left box in the "A1:B2" range.
