Compare Cell value with Array content - arrays

Question

My goal is to check in one column if each cell contains (besides other values) a letter from my array.
The cells look something like "123A".
My array contains values A, C, D, X, Y, Z.
Both just example values.
Note my if-statement should be true if the cell contains any of the letters, so for the example it should be true.
For the cell Value "123B" it should be false (no B in array).
I found a "IsinArray" Function that appears to be working but checks for specific values.
What I would need is closer to ---> "*" & IsinArray & "*"
The function I found looks like this:
Public Function IsInArray(stringToBeFound As String, arr As Variant) As Boolean
IsInArray = Not IsError(Application.Match(stringToBeFound, arr, 0))
End Function
Also my For statement to loop through the column is working (I'd say ^^)
I am also open to "creative" solutions if you have any ideas how to do it better.

Answer 1

Try,
Public Function IsInArray(stringToBeFound As String, arr As Variant) As Boolean
Dim s As String, i As Integer
Dim a As Variant
For i = 1 To Len(stringToBeFound)
s = Mid(stringToBeFound, i, 1)
For Each a In arr
If s = a Then
IsInArray = True
Exit Function
End If
Next a
Next i
End Function

You could swop it around
Option Explicit
Public Sub Test()
Dim testArray(), cellValue As String, rng As Range
Set rng = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1") '<== contains
testArray = Array("A", "C", "D", "X", "Y", "Z")
Debug.Print IsInArrayValue(testArray, rng)
End Sub
Public Function IsInArrayValue(ByVal testArray As Variant, ByVal rng As Range) As Variant
Dim i As Long, testString As String
testString = rng.Text
If rng.Cells.Count > 1 Then
IsInArrayValue = CVErr(xlErrNA)
Exit Function
End If
For i = LBound(testArray) To UBound(testArray)
If InStr(testString, testArray(i)) > 0 Then
IsInArrayValue = True
Exit Function
End If
Next
IsInArrayValue = False
End Function
If using as an UDF you could either pass the array in as shown above or if array doesn't change you could move into the function itself. Personally, I prefer passing the array as an argument to the function as more flexible. I can't work out where your row to copy is coming from. Your comment posted as an answer uses a j variable that doesn't appear to be involved in the shown loop and the row is copied from another sheet. So below will not work directly but gives you a framework.
Public Function IsInArrayValue(ByVal rng As Range) As Variant
Dim i As Long, testString As String, testArray()
testArray = Array("A", "C", "D", "X", "Y", "Z")
testString = rng.Text
If rng.Cells.Count > 1 Then
IsInArrayValue CVErr(xlErrNA)
Exit Function
End If
For i = LBound(testArray) To UBound(testArray)
If InStr(testString, testArray(i)) > 0 Then
IsInArrayValue = True
Exit Function
End If
Next
IsInArrayValue = False
End Function
Call:
The comment below is looks like a new question but you probably want something like:
Dim loopRange As Range, rng As Range
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Filter")
Set loopRange = .Range(.Cells(1, VarNutzerSpalte), .Cells(VarAnzahlZeilen, VarNutzerSpalte))
End With
For Each rng In loopRange
If IsInArrayValue(ArrAuswahlNutzer, rng) Then
rng.EntireRow.Copy '<= use Union to gather range if all being pasted in a block somewhere
End If
Next
A union version might looks like:
Dim loopRange As Range, rng As Range, unionRng As Range
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Filter")
Set loopRange = .Range(.Cells(1, VarNutzerSpalte), .Cells(VarAnzahlZeilen, VarNutzerSpalte))
End With
For Each rng In loopRange
If IsInArrayValue(ArrAuswahlNutzer, rng) Then
If Not unionRng Is Nothing Then
Set unionRng = Union(unionRng, rng)
End If
Set unionRng = rng '<= use Union to gather range if all being pasted in a block somewhere
End If
Next
If Not unionRng Is Nothing Then
unionRng.EntireRow.Copy 'destination for paste
End If

Sorry to answer my own question (corrections/feedback to this solution is welcome of course)
I tried it like this and i guess it should work (cant really test because other parts of my makro arent working)
It is kinda unecessary complicated and maybe slow but id say it could work:
For i = 1 To VarAnzahlZeilen
Set rng = Worksheets("Filter").Range(Cells(i, VarNutzerSpalte), Cells(i, VarNutzerSpalte))
If IsInArrayValue(ArrAuswahlNutzer, rng) Then
Worksheets("Import").Rows(j).Copy
Worksheets("Filter").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End If
Next i
Uses this function by QHarr (with only the array name changed)
Public Function IsInArrayValue(ByVal testArray As Variant, ByVal rng As Range) As Variant
Dim i As Long, testString As String
testString = rng.Text
If rng.Cells.Count > 1 Then
IsInArrayValue = CVErr(xlErrNA)
Exit Function
End If
For i = LBound(testArray) To UBound(testArray)
If InStr(testString, testArray(i)) > 0 Then
IsInArrayValue = True
Exit Function
End If
Next
IsInArrayValue = False
End Function
Thanks alot # QHarr and also # Dy.Lee !
