Storing Cell Addresses in an Array in VBA: A Guide

Are you struggling to store cell addresses from one Excel worksheet to another while tracking changes? You’re not alone. Many Excel users face challenges when comparing data between sheets and efficiently summarizing the differences. In this post, we'll explore how to utilize arrays and loops in VBA to store cell addresses of edited cells, enhancing your Excel reporting capabilities.

The Problem: Comparing Worksheets for Changes

When working with multiple worksheets, especially when dealing with different versions of data, it's essential to highlight the differences effectively. In this scenario:

Problem: You have two sheets, "Original" and "Version 2". You want to compare them and store the addresses of cells that have been edited in a third sheet called "Logged Changes".

Current Solution: You have code that highlights the differences, but it does not yet summarize the changes into a report.

The Solution: Using Arrays to Store Cell Addresses

To address the problem, we will improve the existing VBA code by utilizing arrays to capture cell addresses where edits were made and then display them in the "Logged Changes" sheet. Here’s how to do it step-by-step:

Step 1: Set Up the Variables

Begin by defining your variables for worksheets, data ranges, and arrays to hold the edited cell information:

Step 2: Gather Data from Worksheets

Next, you need to determine the range of data from the "Original" worksheet and copy the values into an array:

Step 3: Compare Values and Store Changes

You will loop through both arrays, determine if there are differences, highlight the changes, and store the addresses of changed cells in the arrUpdates array:

Conclusion

By following the structured approach above, you can efficiently store cell addresses in an array during your loops in VBA, making it much easier to document changes between two worksheets in Excel. With this newfound capability, your reporting will be more organized and informative, saving you time and enhancing your data analysis process.
