Hello,

     I would like to look through the bom to find the cells that contain certain strings. I then want it to add up and return the qty's column. No doubt this can be cleaner. This is what I have  that seems like it works for storing the qty's in an array.

Sub qty_Array()

    Dim QTYarray() As Integer

    Dim size As Integer

    Dim Probe As String

    Dim i As String

Set swApp = Application.SldWorks

Set drawdoc = swApp.ActiveDoc

Set View = drawdoc.GetFirstView

size = 1

index = 0

ReDim QTYarray(size)

    Set TableAnn = View.GetFirstTableAnnotation

    Do While Not TableAnn Is Nothing

    If TableAnn.Type = 2 Then '2 is the bom table type

        Set Bom = TableAnn

        Exit Do

    End If

    Set TableAnn = TableAnn.GetNext

Loop

For Row = 1 To Bom.RowCount - 1

If InStr(1, Bom.Text(Row, 1), "WR", vbBinaryCompare) Or InStr(1, Bom.Text(Row, 1), "W", vbBinaryCompare) > 1 _

Or InStr(1, Bom.Text(Row, 1), "BC", vbBinaryCompare) Or InStr(1, Bom.Text(Row, 1), "P", vbBinaryCompare) > 1 Then

    MsgBox (Bom.Text(Row, 3))

    QTYarray(index) = Bom.Text(Row, 3)

    size = size + 1

    ReDim Preserve QTYarray(size)

    index = index + 1

   MsgBox (QTYarray(1)) 'Next

Else

End If

  Next

    End Sub

QTY's are located: Bom.Text(Row, 3)
Any help would be appreciated.
