I am struggling to make my Dictionary object work to return economic details of selected Reference number.

e.g. I have below reference nos and corresponding values, however, not sure if I can achieve this using Dictionary object , and alternative, suggestion would be highly appreciated. 

Ref No  Amount Price   Year
IB1232  1000   1.23    2011
IB1231  1000   3.23    2011
IB1233  1000   3.43    2011
IB1234  1000   3.43    2011

I thought would be able to achieve by forming Key and Value for reference and their corresponding details, but not been able to achieve ..

    I don’t know what you’re referring to as Dictionary in VBA, as the data structure with the said functionality is called Collection in VBA (but maybe you coded your own Ditionary, in that case we need the code in order to be able to help you).

    If I get your example right, you want to access e.g {1000,1.23,2011} via the key “IB1232”. You can do this easily by creating a Collection of Collections like this:

    Dim coll as new Collection
Dim data as new Collection

data.Add 1000
data.Add 1.23
data.Add 2011

coll.Add data, "IB1232"

    To access your data just get the desired record (Collection) via the key

    Debug.Print coll.Item("IB1232")(1) 'Prints 1000
Debug.Print coll.Item("IB1232")(2) 'Prints 1.23
Debug.Print coll.Item("IB1232")(3) 'Prints 2010

    You can also use an array of Variants for the data
