I'm trying to add values in a range to a collection. here's the range:
<TABLE style="WIDTH: 103pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=137 x:str><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 103pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 5010" width=137><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 103pt; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8" height=17 width=137>.............A
1 Product
</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8" height=17>2 Pricing</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8" height=17>3 Environment</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8" height=17>4 Customer Service</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Here's my code:
Code:
Sub loadCollection()
    Dim mCats As New Collection
    Dim cl, part As Variant
    For Each cl In Range("A1:A4")
        mCats.Add(cl.Value)
    Next cl
    For Each part In mCats
        MsgBox part
    Next part
End Sub
This works fine, however, when I change the mCats.Add line to the following:
Code:
mCats.Add(cl.Value,,1)
in order to insert them in reverse order, it says "Expected: =" same thing if I put in a key or an after value. Compile error, not run-time. What's up?
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
This works, in order to add before or after an item in the collection, that item needs to exist.

Code:
Sub loadCollection()
    Dim mCats As New Collection
    Dim cl, part As Variant
    mCats.Add Item:="x", Key:="x"
    For Each cl In Range("A1:A4")
        mCats.Add Item:=cl.Value, Key:=cl.Value, after:=1
    Next cl
    mCats.Remove 1
    For part = 1 To mCats.Count
        MsgBox mCats(part)
    Next part
End Sub

How about replacing For Each with For.
Code:
Sub loadCollection()
    Dim mCats As New Collection
    Dim cl, part As Variant
    Dim i as Long
    'For Each cl In Range("A1:A4")
    For i = Range("A1:A4").Cells.Count To 1 Step -1
        Set cl = Range("A1:A4").Cells(i)
        mCats.Add (cl.Value)
    Next
    For Each part In mCats
        MsgBox part
    Next part
End Sub
