I a looking for an workaround related to dictionary objects items
Dim a, d \'Create some variables
Set d = CreateObject(\"Scripting.Dictionary\")
d.Add \
EDIT: Makes variable name more OPfriendly
EDIT: Include a Scripting.Dictionary Reference for OP's reading
Sub t()
Dim d
Dim a
a = Array("Athens", "India", "Paris")
Set d = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
d.Add "a", a
MsgBox Join(d.Item("a"), ",")
End Sub
EDIT: to read values as in OP's question into dictionary and retrieve the values
Sub t()
Dim d As Object
Dim values
Dim height As Long
Dim item
Dim width As Long
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Dim MANGERID
Dim EMPIDs
Dim EMPID
With ActiveSheet
height = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
If height < 2 Then
Exit Sub
End If
Set d = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
For i = 2 To height
width = .Cells(i, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
if width > 1 then 'make sure have EMPID
ReDim values(1 To width - 1)
Key = .Cells(i, 1).Value
For j = 2 To width
values(j - 1) = .Cells(i, j).Value
Next j
d.Add Key, values
end if
Next i
'displaying back the items in the dictionary
For Each MANGERID In d.keys
'value array
EMPIDs = d.item(MANGERID)
If TypeName(EMPIDs) = "Variant()" Then
For Each EMPID In EMPIDs
Debug.Print MANGERID & ":" & EMPID
Next EMPID
End If
Next MANGERID
Set d = Nothing
End With
End Sub
