How to find if an array contains a string

How to search for string in MS Access VBA array

I am currently working on an Excel macro, and I could not find a way to do like if array.contains(mystring)

I wrote the following, and it gives me the message "Invaild Qualifier" and highlights the Mainfram right after If

Dim Mainfram(4) As String

Mainfram(0) = "apple"

Mainfram(1) = "pear"

Mainfram(2) = "orange"

Mainfram(3) = "fruit"

    For Each cel In Selection
        If Mainfram.Contains(cel.Text) Then
            Row(cel.Row).Style = "Accent1"
        End If
    Next cel

The selection is a column

Anyone help?

Hi, JP I tried your suggestion, and it said Object required. And Highlightd the If IsInArray(cell.Text, Mainfram) Then Heres my full code

Sub changeRowColor()

Columns("B:B").Select

Dim cel As Excel.Range
Dim Mainfram(4) As String

Mainfram(0) = "apple"
Mainfram(1) = "pear"
Mainfram(2) = "orange"
Mainfram(3) = "Banana"

For Each cel In Selection
    If IsInArray(cell.Value, Mainfram) Then
        Rows(cel.Row).Style = "Accent1"
    End If
Next cel

End Sub

Function IsInArray(stringToBeFound As String, arr As Variant) As Boolean

    IsInArray = (UBound(Filter(arr, stringToBeFound)) > -1)

End Function

Nevermind, I found that stupid Error... Thank you anyways

Using the code from my answer to a very similar question:

Sub DoSomething()
Dim Mainfram(4) As String
Dim cell As Excel.Range

Mainfram(0) = "apple"
Mainfram(1) = "pear"
Mainfram(2) = "orange"
Mainfram(3) = "fruit"

For Each cell In Selection
  If IsInArray(cell.Value, MainFram) Then
    Row(cell.Row).Style = "Accent1"
  End If
Next cell

End Sub

Function IsInArray(stringToBeFound As String, arr As Variant) As Boolean
  IsInArray = (UBound(Filter(arr, stringToBeFound)) > -1)
End Function
