Hello all,

I am trying to use arrays for the first time and I am flummoxed! Although the array seems to be populating when I write the values to it, any attempt to read those values fail as nothing is returned. Now I KNOW that this is my stupidity and I have checked and rechecked the code that I cobbled together but I simply cannot see where I am going wrong. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

I would like to write the array to a range in Sheet1 but no values are returned and when I test with debug.print it seems that the array contains only 3 or 4 values instead of the dozens that were written to it. Please forgive my messy code!

Code:
'====DECLARE VARIABLES:'Declare Counter variables
'Dim x As Integer
Dim SheetCounter As Integer     'Used to count sheets
Dim MasterCount As Long         'Used to store number of unique keys

Dim TxnCounter As Integer       'Used to count transactions


'Declare Database variables
Dim UniqueKey As String         'Stores unique customer/household id
Dim MonthAdded As String        'Stores the month in which a household becomes a customer


'Declare Range variables
Dim MasterList As Range         'Holds the master list of unique keys

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Ok, try

There is now, I deleted it temporarily, as I wanted to add another part.

Fluff, thank you!! You are a genius!! I still need to tweak the numbers as there still are some anomalies in the figures but I feel terrible for taking up so much of your time so I'll try to sort it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Ok, if you have any problems just shout.
Once that's sorted we can modify the macro so that it will run on a single sheet & update the figures accordingly, rather than running the whole thing every month.

Hello Fluff

Thanks again for all your help, without it I would be nowhere close to where I am.

Final question: Is it possible to flag customers by month so that they can be allocated as retained across multiple months? For example, if a customer purchased for the first time in Oct, and purchased again in Nov and Dec they would be counted at the intersection of Oct/Nov and Oct/Dec in the table below.

Month New Cust Sep-18Oct-18 Nov-18Dec-18Jan-19
Sep-1852 10 510073157
Oct-1826 351114
Nov-1830 465
Dec-1825 3
20

Thanks again for being so helpful, I appreciate that you took time from your own busy schedule to help me.

Depending on what your original data is like, you may be better off using a Pivot Table to get that sort of information, but I know nothing about about Pivots so not sure.
