Hi I have an array mulitple columns wide and I would like to take only a select few columns of that array and add it into another array for use elsewhere. I came across a piece of code that looks like this :

VBA Code:
temparr = Application.Index(mainarray, 0, Array(1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7))

temparr is ideally just a few selected columns of mainarry, and mainarray is the "master" array with multiple columns of data.

I believe its called splicing, however I can't seem to get it to work, when I check the watches window I notice that only the first row is taken (or whatever row number I put in the place of "0"), I've tried all sorts of combinations of that line of code but I can't seem to get at placing entire columns into "temparr".

I've tried transpose and it does not work either:
VBA Code:
temparr = Application.Index(mainarray, 0, WorksheetFunction.Transpose(Array(1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7)))

any ideas?

thanks

Try this way
VBA Code:
temparr = Application.Index(mainarray, Evaluate("row(1:" & UBound(mainarray, 1) & ")"), Array(1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7))

Solution
Works excellently!

I was fiddling with the evaluate for a little but gave up, wasn't sure it would work with an array.

Thanks Peter_SSs, problem solved!
