I inherited an old Excel (.xls) spreadsheet starting from 2005.
For some reason the spreadsheet uses the name manager for quite large data stored as strings instead of referring to a table with the data. This is what I am trying to change so it will be easier to change the data currently stored in the name manager (at the moment it is not possible to change any of the data as the character limit in the name manager has somehow been exceeded).
I would like to make use of as much of the current VBA code as possible which is why I currently have a setup where I use VBA to convert data from the spreadsheet to a string in the form of
"CELL"\"CELL"\"...""CELL";"CELL"\"CELL"\"CELL";
Where I (or the old code) make use of backslash, \, as a delimiter for a new column and semicolon, ;, as a delimiter for a new row.
I want to convert my string to an 2-dimensional array called 'arkArray' so I can make use of the following code:
arkCellData = arkArray(i, j)
What is the best way to do so?
