Assigning an array value to a variable in VBA causes my UDF to exit

Question

I can't seem to figure out why this UDF is exiting on the currentInput = inputArray(i) . Here is the relevant code:

Function OrderRange(inputRange As Range) As Variant

    Dim length As Integer
    inputHeight = inputRange.Count

    Dim inputArray As Variant
    inputArray = inputRange

    Dim strippedArray() As Variant
    ReDim strippedArray(0 To (inputHeight - 1))

    Dim currentInput As String

    Dim i As Integer

    For i = 0 To (inputHeight - 1)

        currentInput = inputArray(i)
        '...computations on currentInput...'
        strippedArray(i) = currentInput
    Next i
    OrderRange = strippedArray
End Function

The debugger reaches currentInput = inputArray(i) but once I move to the next line, the function terminates and a #VALUE! error is entered into the cell I call the function from. I know this is a specific question, but I'm sure it's a general issue and I'll edit this original post to reflect what the general problem is.

Edit: This is an issue regarding assignment of a range to a variant array.

Answer 1

Variant arrays created by setting them equal to ranges have two dimensions even if they are only one column, or row, wide. So if you call the function with A1:A10 you'll get a 10 * 1 array. Also the lower bound of the dimensions will be one, not zero. So you'd have to do something like:

For i = 1 To (inputHeight)
    currentInput = inputArray(i, 1)

Also you should use Option Explicit so that you're reminded to declare all variables. InputHeight is never declared.
