Add new row to excel Table (VBA)

You don’t say which version of Excel you are using. This is written for 2007/2010 (a different apprach is required for Excel 2003 )

You also don’t say how you are calling addDataToTable and what you are passing into arrData.
I’m guessing you are passing a 0 based array. If this is the case (and the Table starts in Column A) then iCount will count from 0 and .Cells(lLastRow + 1, iCount) will try to reference column 0 which is invalid.

You are also not taking advantage of the ListObject. Your code assumes the ListObject1 is located starting at row 1. If this is not the case your code will place the data in the wrong row.

Here’s an alternative that utilised the ListObject

Sub MyAdd(ByVal strTableName As String, ByRef arrData As Variant)
    Dim Tbl As ListObject
    Dim NewRow As ListRow

    ' Based on OP 
    ' Set Tbl = Worksheets(4).ListObjects(strTableName)
    ' Or better, get list on any sheet in workbook
    Set Tbl = Range(strTableName).ListObject
    Set NewRow = Tbl.ListRows.Add(AlwaysInsert:=True)

    ' Handle Arrays and Ranges
    If TypeName(arrData) = "Range" Then
        NewRow.Range = arrData.Value
    Else
        NewRow.Range = arrData
    End If
End Sub

Can be called in a variety of ways:

Sub zx()
    ' Pass a variant array copied from a range
    MyAdd "MyTable", [G1:J1].Value
    ' Pass a range
    MyAdd "MyTable", [G1:J1]
    ' Pass an array
    MyAdd "MyTable", Array(1, 2, 3, 4)
End Sub
