Excel VBA: How to create Data Types in a 3-d array

Im wondering how to create data types for my 3-d array. I really only need it on the x,y variable in the initialization route. I'm at a loss how to do this. Below is how I'm creating the array, and I can use it but I'd prefer to have more control. To give an example: It would be gret to something like dim miultisheetArray(11 as Type1, 7 as Type2, 3 as Type3) as Variant. So that I could do a call like multisheetArray.Type1Var.Type2Var.Type3Var. Like a 1-d array but for 3-d. Thanks.



Sub Test3DArray()
Dim w As Long, x As Long, y As Long, z As Long
Dim c As Range
Dim v As Variant
Dim multiSheetArray(11, 7, 3) As Variant 'array with 3 sheets, 5 columns/rows
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
'start at Cells(10,4)
Dim startingRow, startingColumn, staggeredYears As Integer
startingRow = 10
startingColumn = 4
staggeredYears = 3
For w = 0 To 10

For x = 0 To 6
For y = 0 To 2
multiSheetArray(w, x, y) = .Cells(x + startingRow, y + startingColumn + (w * staggeredYears))
Next
Next
Next
End With

End Sub

  • That's not possible in VBA - a multi-dimensional array is of a single type. But even if you could, that wouldn't support something like multisheetArray.Type1Var.Type2Var.Type3Var
