Copy a matrix into excel

[Peter Seitz]

Hello,

i have a 29×29 dimensional matrix which I want to include in an excel sheet.
For example a matrix build up within in a formula like this:

[code]Dim Output = ? # 29 # 29 // Dim a 29×29 matrix
Output[0,28][0,28] = -1 // Fill all cells with -1

[

Output][/code]

I want this Output to be copied into an excel sheet. I used following code:

[code]
Option Explicit

Const sExcelSheet As String = “P:TestFile.xlsx”

Sub DataIntoExcel()

‘access data from FlexPro
Dim oFolder As Folder
Set oFolder = ActiveDatabase.RootFolder
Dim matrix
Set matrix = oFolder.Object(“Formel”, fpObjectTypeFormula).Value

‘ open Excel sheet
Dim oExcel As Object
Set oExcel = CreateObject(“Excel.Application”)

With oExcel
.Visible = True
.Workbooks.Open Filename:=sExcelSheet, ReadOnly:=False
With .Workbooks(1)
Dim oSheet As Object
Set oSheet = .Worksheets(1)

oSheet.Range(“C3:AE31”) = matrix
End With
End With
Set oExcel = Nothing
End Sub[/code]

The matrix is supposed to be placed starting at cell C3 or placed in the area from C3 to AE31. I keep getting runtime errors though.

Can someone tell me what i did wrong. Thanks in advance.

kind regards,
Peter

Your code should work if you assign the value of the formula evaluation instead of the value object itself to your matrix variable.

[code]
Dim fml As Formula
Set fml = ActiveDatabase.RootFolder(“Formel”, fpObjectTypeFormula)
fml.Update
Dim matrix
matrix = fml.Value
[/code]

Note the update of the formula before using its value.

Hint: To exchange rows and columns use Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(matrix) in the assignment to the range.
