Counting in an Array

[IraqiAli]

ok - im really new at visual basic. i've only just started studying it.

what i need to know is how to count how many times a certain value appears in the array (two dimentional).

Dim ElectArr(1 To 20, 1 To 6)

right now my two dimentional array is filled with 1's, 2's and 3's. what i need is a code that can count how many 1's there are in the first column. but im really stuck.

Just use a For loop to go through the first "column" and examine each value. Each time you hit one that matches, add 1 to a counter variable.
