Comparing
JOIN(sourcearray [,delimiter])
You can use the JOIN to return a text string containing all the elements in an array.
This function can be used to very quickly check if two arrays are identical
This comparison method is case sensitive.
If (VBA.Join(array1, "||") = VBA.Join(array2, "||")) Then
MsgBox "Identical"
Else
MsgBox "Different"
End If
Looping Through
You can loop through each array and compare each value to every value in the other array.
Public Sub Testing()
Dim myArray1(1 To 4) As String
Dim myArray2(1 To 4) As String
Dim myArray3 As Variant
myArray1(1) = "one1"
myArray1(2) = "two3"
myArray1(3) = "three5"
myArray1(4) = "four7"
myArray2(1) = "one1"
myArray2(2) = "two3"
myArray2(3) = "different"
myArray2(4) = "four7"
myArray3 = Comparing_TwoArrays(myArray1, myArray2)
Stop
End Sub
