Storing data to array from worksheet - arrays

Question

I'm trying to analyze some data from a worksheet, the first step was to find the last row, which I managed. Then I need to store the data in an array for each column to simplify further analysis.
My data looks like this:
I'm trying to store let's say the B column in an array but starting at B6:
Sub List_Rem_stock()
Dim array_Rem_Batch(1 To last_row_Rem_stock - 5) As Integer
For i = 1 To last_row_Rem_stock - 5
array_Rem_Batch(i) = Worksheets("Rem stock").Range(Bi)
Next i
Debug.Print array_Rem_Index
End Sub
last_row_Rem_stock represents the last row of the table.
Am I doing this properly?

Answer 1

Almost, try the code below (find explanation inside code's comments):
Option Explicit
Sub List_Rem_stock()
Dim last_row_Rem_stock As Long, i As Long
Dim array_Rem_Batch() As Long
With Worksheets("Rem stock")
last_row_Rem_stock = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row ' get last row with value in colum B
ReDim array_Rem_Batch(1 To last_row_Rem_stock - 5) ' redim array size
For i = 1 To last_row_Rem_stock - 5
array_Rem_Batch(i) = .Range("B" & i).Value
Next i
End With
End Sub

You can allocate a range to an array (2D) as such:
Dim arrData as variant: arrData = Range("B1:B" & lastrow).
You can also put the array back on the spreadsheet the same way:
Range("B1:B" & lastrow) = arrData
Simple, easy and fast, without the need of iterating through data.
In your example, you would probably do it like this.
Sub List_Rem_stock()
Dim i As Long, last_row_Rem_stock As Long
Dim array_Rem_Batch As Variant
With Worksheets("Rem stock")
last_row_Rem_stock = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row 'get last row in B
array_Rem_Batch = .Range("B1:B" & last_row_Rem_stock)
End With
For i = 6 To last_row_Rem_stock
Debug.Print array_Rem_Batch(i, 1)
Next i
End Sub
To note that arrays allocated this way will always start at 1, not 0.
EDIT:
I'm allocating the data starting at row 1, and not at row 6, purely for the nice 1:1 relation between array index and sheet rows. Is my prefered way, wherever the situation allows.
If array_Rem_Batch(i, 1) = Range("B" & i) Then ....
Can always allocate the data from any row you want:
array_Rem_Batch = Worksheets("Rem stock").Range("B6:B100") 'now the array has 95 rows.
In this case, array index 1, will corespond to row 6 in the sheet, and will have to manage this in the code if you need to something like this:
If array_Rem_Batch(i, 1) = Range("B" & i + 5) Then ....
