Load into Array rather than Hard Coded

P

Paul Black

Hi everyone,

I have the following Program that evaluated the 3 SetWheels that were
Hard Coded in the Program.
What I would like the Program to do is pick up ALL the 6 number
combinations in the Excel sheet named "Data" and in Cells "B3:G?" and
evaluate those instead of those that are hard coded ( the combinations
will always start in Cell "B3" BUT the Cell "G?" will change depending
on the number of combinations to evaluate ).
The first combination is in Cells B3:G3, the second combination is in
Cells B4:G4 and so on. The combinations will be continuous down the
columns, and that there will be a blank row below the data.
What I would like please is to adapt the code between the *** so ALL
the combinations from the sheet named "Data" are used.

Here is the code :-

Option Explicit

Hi again Joel,

As an after thought, would the amended code need to use "bits" instead
of conventional programming?. I only say this because I think I read
somewhere that using "bits" greatly increases the speed of processing
time and easier to manage.

Thanks Again.
All the Best.

I few comments
1) fix the Nibs function for tje case 0, it returns nothing

Private Function Nibs(ByVal Value As Byte) As Long
Select Case Value
Case 0
Nibs = 0 '<Add return zero
Exit Function

2) I only did the case for 3, the code is easily modified for additional
wheels.
3) Bit verses Bytes. I looked at the Nibs function and the way you coded is
probably the fastest method using Basic. Bits operations can be faster than
bytes. but it depends on the compiler and computer language you are usings.

Not sure what the code is actually trying to do. Don't have all the
functions. There may be some quicker methods of programming to speed
program. Using AND and OR functions are the best way of speeding the code
which is what is meant by "Using bits instead of conventional programming".
You have used the AND function, so I wouldn't worry too much unless the
program is running slow.

... which works GREAT except for ONE thing I would like to change.
The Program calculates the three SetWheels that are hard coded.
What I would like the Program to do INSTEAD of this is to pick up ALL
the 6 number combinations in the sheet named "Data" and in Cells
"B3:G?" and process them INSTEAD. The first 6 number combination is in
Cells "B3:G3", the second 6 number combination is in Cells "B4:G4" etc
down to whatever the last 6 number combination is.
I would like it so that ALL the variables used and the subsequent
results produced throughout the Program are NOT affected by the
amendment(s). Basically, the amendment(s) need to integrate with the
rest of the code in the Program so it all still works correctly.

Thanks in Advance.
All the Best.

Hi Joel,

The output is produced in the immediate window.
The code I just posted is the ORIGINAL code which works great except
it picks up the hard coded combinations in the Program as opposed to
the combinations I want picked up from the spreadsheet.

Thanks in Advance.
All the Best.

You have an explicit statement at the beginning of your code which means all
variables must be declared. Simply add wheelcount to your declarations

dim wheelcount as integer

Hi Joel,

I have done that in the Sub Generate but now it gives me :-
