Why am I having issues assigning a Range to an Array of Variants

by

No it is not a bug.

The point is that Value is the default property of the Range Object, so why isn’t it implicitly used? Did you have a look at the question I linked? (FROM CHAT)

The experts posting previous answers have already explained very well in details. I will keep the explanation to minimal and hence let me know if you still have any questions.

Let’s understand our objects first. I created this small table which clearly shows what are we handling so that there is no confusion.

You could also add a Watch to see the Type for a particular object as shown in the pic below.

So when you say

arr = Range("A1:A10")

Excel knows that the default property is .Value. However in other case, it doesn’t know because Excel is not a mind reader or let’s say intelligent enough to understand whether you want to use Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A10") as a Range or a Variant

Once you explicitly specify your object as a Range then Excel knows what you want. For example this works.

Dim arr() As Variant
Dim Rng As Range  
Set Rng = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A10")
arr = Rng
