Visual Basic - simple 1-dimensional array with Strings giving syntax error-CodePudding

I want to create an one-dimensional array with Strings and I tried this code:

Dim sheets_names_array() As String = { "Sheet1", "Sheet2" }

but I get a 'Compile error: Syntax error' when trying to run the code.

What is my error? Many thanks, Electra

CodePudding user response：

here is correct example of your approach:

Public Sub PrintArray()

' make an array with the sheet names we want to parse
Dim sheets_names_array() As Variant, sheet As Variant

sheets_names_array = Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2")

' loop the sheets array
For Each sheet In sheets_names_array
   Debug.Print (sheet & " ")
Next

End Sub

and this one is usual loop through each sheet as you declare sheet variable anyway:

Sub Test()

' Declare ws as a worksheet object variable.
Dim ws As Worksheet

' Loop through all of the worksheets in the active workbook.
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
    
   Debug.Print ws.Name
Next

End Sub

P.S. not sure why SO cannot recognise the code this time...
