Hi,

How does the Ubound function work when finding the size of one dimension of an array?

Does it count the elements every time it is called by looping through the array dimension or is does it use a quicker method?

Thanks

Max

Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
I think it's probably safe to say that it doesn't loop through the elements to get this number. My guess is that it is just returning the upper bound for the amount of space that has been allocated for the array.
