Change The Size (on the Fly)!5:54
Learn how to change the size and scope of your array at any time.
Resize Array Without Losing Everything3:52
Usually when you resize an array you lose all of the previous entries, but with this tip you can save what you were using and just expand your array a bit. This is cool!
Returning Array to a Worksheet8:37
This is one of the most important lectures in this entire course!! In this lecture, we're going to learn how to return an array to a worksheet.
BONUS - Real World Speed Comparison - Case Study9:07
Showing just how bad to the bone Arrays can be. This is a real world speed comparison, showing how much faster and efficient arrays are! The results will blow you away...
-Dan
Storing Array Data...4:31
Let's talk a little bit about storing array data…
Storing Array in Names5:18
Storing arrays in names
Accessing Array from Invisible Name in Names Manager2:07
Let's learn how to access an array from an invisible name in the names manager! Very few people know this trick!

Using WorksheetFunctions on Arrays6:14
Using worksheet functions on your array so you don't have to do everything from scratch.
Passing an Array Into a Function or Sub7:25
Learn how to use an array by placing it inside of a function and having the function perform actions on any and all elements in your array!
Passing an Array Into a Function or Sub (Advanced Example)11:19
Using the advanced example on how you can pass your array into a function or sub
Returning an Array FROM a Function9:06
Did you know you can also extract multiple answers from one single function? Here's how!
IsArray Function3:27
Learn the IsArray() function
Filter() Function5:37
Learn the Filter() Function

A practical example on the join() function
The Erase Method3:10
Using the erase function in an array
Transposing an Array5:19
Sometimes you have to transpose an array for it to work properly on a worksheet. Sometimes, you may need to flip-flop the information so that it's easier to loop through or look at also.
Determining Worksheet Range from Array Size7:01
Determining worksheet range using the size of the array itself.
Dynamic Sorting 01 - 2d Array On Sheet Dynamically5:16
This is one way to sort your data and it's my recommendation.

BONUS - ReDim Preserving a MD Array - 03 Custom Function4:46
This lecture reviews a workaround using a custom function that allows you to expand your multidimensional array anyway you want using special loops and basically using a temporary array in the function created with the expanded dimensions and filled in using the original array.

Requirements

You should already have Microsoft Excel (version 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013 or 2016). Obviously the newer the better, but VBA works the same in all versions. It's just that newer versions have more options, thus more VBA Commands to control those options.
Basic Excel skills needed for this course. Everything I do is explained thoroughly.
Everything is explained in detail, but any Excel VBA experience you have will help.

Description

Arrays are present in many programming languages, but most people don’t take the time to master them and can get frustrated when their code seems sloppy, difficult to read, and often can take a long time to run.

Arrays are often a subject of confusion or irritation - it doesn’t make much sense when trying to understand using a huge blog post or cryptic book. What you need is a visual explanation of these concepts in bite sized pieces – something to make it REAL!

With over three hours of over the shoulder, real-world training, this course will show you how to increase the speed of your VBA applications, build code that is easier to read and maintain - using less lines of code than you ever imagined!

I’ll show you the easiest way to understand this highly convoluted topic and once you understand the power of arrays, you’ll be able to:

Glean information from and Manipulate text like never before
Store MULTIPLE pieces of information in a single cell to keep your tables tidy
MASSIVELY speed up your macros that deal with worksheets or cells!
Understand multiple ways to put Array data onto worksheets
Create your own functions that return more than one result!!
Store Data in Hidden Locations, Where only you can find and Manipulate it...
Master Populating, Looping through and Manipulating Arrays for greater efficiency
Learn special built-in Array functions as well as custom ones Included in the course
Best methods of Sorting Array data
And much more!

You’ll receive 100% of the source code, downloadable materials and course workbooks instantly, yours to keep FOREVER.

So Join today – and increase your Excel Mastery and I’ll see you in the FORUMS!

Who this course is for:

Take this course if you want to increase the SPEED of your macros and be more efficient. No prior programming knowledge is needed, but it helps.
If you want to learn the basic of Arrays - even if you don't use Excel VBA - Arrays work very similarly in other programs. This course primarily covers Excel VBA Arrays though.
If you want to know the hidden secrets of Excel for speed, and heightened data manipulation skills, this course is for you.
Anyone looking for the next step in their Excel Ninja skillset.
If you need a simple explanation for a complex topic (Arrays) in a way that you can take and immediately use.
