Criteria array for sum(sumifs()) in Excel VBA

Question

I know that the easiest way to incorporate "OR" logic into a sumifs situation in Excel is to nest

sum(sumifs(sumrange, criteria1range, {"crit11", "crit12", etc.}))

I'm wondering if it is possible to format an array like this in Excel VBA. I'm currently trying to build the array based on the T/F conditions of 10 checkboxes, so rewriting the sum(sumifs()) for each variation isn't really an option.

Any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

answer to Q1 is yes, you can definitely build an array of string values in VBA:

Dim myarray() As String
myarray = Split("crit1,crit2,etc", ",")

Q2: I'm still looking into the format for using this in the worksheetfunction.sumifs as I find this to be an interesting approach but my question is if you're building this in VBA then why restrict yourself to using the worksheet functions? you could just combine a loop with some ifs to solve your problem
