Check if a value is in an array or not with Excel VBA

by

You can brute force it like this:

Public Function IsInArray(stringToBeFound As String, arr As Variant) As Boolean
    Dim i
    For i = LBound(arr) To UBound(arr)
        If arr(i) = stringToBeFound Then
            IsInArray = True
            Exit Function
        End If
    Next i
    IsInArray = False

End Function

Use like

IsInArray("example", Array("example", "someother text", "more things", "and another"))
