Excel VBA Variable Declaration Ambersand
In a great VBA code example @https://medium.com/@daniel.ferry/excel-vba-get-unique-values-easily-592162f52c6e there is followng Variable declaration:
Function DistinctVals(arr, Optional col = 1)
Dim i&, v: v = arr
Everthing works fine in Windows but on Mac there is a ByRef argument type mismatch. My question is not about the mismatch - there is even Dictionary not working on Mac, but it's about the never seen before and can't find with search engine "Dim i&" Declaration. In other languages the ambersand stands for Reference, but a) this does not make sense in this context and b) it's not documented - at least I can't find any.
Thanks in advance
Solution
This means Long type. From VBA reference:
The shorthand for the types is: % -integer; & -long; @ -currency; # -double; ! -single; $ -string
