# VBA-ArrayTools
ArrayTools is a Project that allows easy data manipulation when working with Arrays and Collections in VBA (regardless of host Application). Operations like sorting, filtering, converting, reversing, slicing are trivial using the LibArrayTools module. Additionaly, a User-Defined-Function (UDF) module is available for Microsoft Excel.
## Installation
Just import the following code modules in your VBA Project:
* **LibArrayTools.bas**
* **UDF_DataManipulation.bas** (optional - works in MS Excel interface only, with exposed User Defined Functions)
## Testing
Import the folowing code modules:
* **TestLibArrayTools.bas**
* **frmTestResults.frm**
and execute method:
```vba
TestLibArrayTools.RunAllTests
```
## Usage
Here are a couple of demo method calls. Find more in the available Demo.bas module
Array-Array conversions, Array-Collection conversions (and viceversa). Note that methods like 'NDArrayTo1DArray' support arrays up to 60 dimensions.
```vba
Public Sub DemoConversions()
Dim coll As Collection
'
'Create a Collection from values
Set coll = Collection(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
'Result:
' [1,2,3,4,5]
'
Dim arr() As Variant
'
'Convert a Collection to a 1D Array
arr = CollectionTo1DArray(coll)
'Result:
' [1,2,3,4,5,6]
'
'Convert a Collection to a 2D Array
arr = CollectionTo2DArray(coll, 3)
'Result:
' [1,2,3]
' [4,5,6]
'
'Convert 1D Array to a 2D Array
arr = OneDArrayTo2DArray(Array(5, 2, 1, 3, 6, 1, 9, 5), 2)
'Result:
' [5,2]
' [1,3]
' [6,1]
' [9,5]
'
arr = OneDArrayTo2DArray(Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12), 4)
Dim arr2() As Variant
'
'Convert 2D Array to 1D Array
arr2 = NDArrayTo1DArray(arr, rowWise)
'Result:
' [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]
arr2 = NDArrayTo1DArray(arr, columnWise)
'Result:
' [1,5,9,2,6,10,3,7,11,4,8,12]
'
'Convert 2D Array to nested Collections
Set coll = NDArrayToCollections(arr)
'Result:
' [[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8],[9,10,11,12]]
'
'Merge two 1D arrays
arr = Merge1DArrays(Array(1, 2, 3), Array(4, 5))
'Result:
' [1,2,3,4,5]
'
Dim arr1() As Variant
arr1 = OneDArrayTo2DArray(Array(1, 2, 3, 4), 2)
arr2 = OneDArrayTo2DArray(Array(5, 6, 7, 8), 2)
'Merge two 2D arrays
arr = Merge2DArrays(arr1, arr2, False)
'Result:
' [1,2,5,6]
' [3,4,7,8]
arr = Merge2DArrays(arr1, arr2, True)
'Result:
' [1,2]
' [3,4]
' [5,6]
' [7,8]
'
'Transpose a 2D Array
arr = TransposeArray(arr1)
'Result:
' [1,3]
' [2,4]
End Sub
```
Array and Collection advanced Filtering
```vba
Public Sub DemoFiltering()
Dim arr() As Variant
Dim coll As Collection
Dim filters() As FILTER_PAIR
Dim boolExpression As Boolean
'
'Check if a value is passing a filter
boolExpression = IsValuePassingFilter(5, CreateFilter(opBigger, 3)) 'True
boolExpression = IsValuePassingFilter(5, CreateFilter(opBigger, 7)) 'False
boolExpression = IsValuePassingFilter(5, CreateFilter(opin, Array(1, 3, 5))) 'True
boolExpression = IsValuePassingFilter("test", CreateFilter(opLike, "?es?")) 'True
boolExpression = IsValuePassingFilter("c", CreateFilter(opLike, "[a-d]")) 'True
'
'Create array of filters
filters = CreateFiltersArray(">", 1, "<=", 5, "NOT IN", Array(3, 4))
'
'Filter a 1D Array
arr = Filter1DArray(Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5), filters)
'Result:
' [2,5]
'
arr = OneDArrayTo2DArray(Array(5, 2, 1, 3, 6, 1, 9, 5), 2)
filters = CreateFiltersArray("IN", Array(1, 3, 5, 7, 9))
'
'Filter a 2D Array
arr = Filter2DArray(arr, 0, filters)
'Result:
' [5,2]
' [1,3]
' [9,5]
arr = Filter2DArray(arr, 1, filters)
'Result:
' [1,3]
' [9,5]
'
'Filter a Collection
Set coll = FilterCollection(Collection("A", "B", "C", "D", "E") _
, CreateFiltersArray("LIKE", "[B-E]", "NOT LIKE", "[C-D]"))
'Result:
' ["B","E"]
End Sub
```
Information functions related to Arrays/Collections
```vba
Public Sub DemoGetInformation()
Dim coll As New Collection
Dim boolExpression As Boolean
'
coll.Add 6, "Key1"
'
'Check if a Collection has a key
boolExpression = CollectionHasKey(coll, "Key1") 'True
boolExpression = CollectionHasKey(coll, "Key2") 'False
'
Dim arr() As Variant
Dim arr2D(0 To 2, 0 To 3) As Variant
Dim arr3D(1 To 3, 1 To 2, 1 To 5) As Variant
Dim arr4D(1 To 2, 1 To 3, 1 To 4, 1 To 5) As Variant
Dim dimensionsCount As Long
Dim elementsCount As Long
'
'Get the number of dimensions for an array
dimensionsCount = GetArrayDimsCount(7) '0
dimensionsCount = GetArrayDimsCount(arr) '0
dimensionsCount = GetArrayDimsCount(Array()) '1
dimensionsCount = GetArrayDimsCount(arr2D) '2
dimensionsCount = GetArrayDimsCount(arr3D) '3
dimensionsCount = GetArrayDimsCount(arr4D) '4
'
'Get the number of elements for an array
elementsCount = GetArrayElemCount(5) '0
elementsCount = GetArrayElemCount(arr) '0
elementsCount = GetArrayElemCount(Array(1, 5, 6)) '3
elementsCount = GetArrayElemCount(arr2D) '12
elementsCount = GetArrayElemCount(arr3D) '30
elementsCount = GetArrayElemCount(arr4D) '120
'
'Check if a variant support For...Each loop
boolExpression = IsIterable(arr) 'False
boolExpression = IsIterable(Array()) 'True
boolExpression = IsIterable(coll) 'True
boolExpression = IsIterable(Nothing) 'False
End Sub
```
## Notes
* Argument Descriptions in the Function Help for the Excel Function Arguments Dialog (fx on the formula bar or Shift + F3) are available by running:
```vba
UDF_DataManipulation.RegisterDMFunctions
```
* Download the available Demo Workbook. Each UDF is presented with examples in a separate worksheet.
