Vba scripting dictionary help

Hi,

I'd like to know where I can get resources to understand how works the scripting dictionary. I'm able to use but rather in a blind way (many tries until I find what I want...mixing the difference between items and keys... how it stores data by default? in a vertical way 2 columns n rows or horizontal way because I have seen transpose methods being used with scripting dictionary object.

The example below illustrates one of the things I don't understand, it seems d as a dictionary objects is incremented only if variable city doesn't exist. Is it another way of looping and checking if d(city).exist then blabla?

Code:

---

Set d = New Scripting.Dictionary

For i = 2 To UBound(ka, 1)
    city= ka(i, 3)
    If Len(city) > 0 Then d(city) = d(city) + 1
Next i

---

I can get things done using dictionary object but quite in an erractic way.

Thanks if you can help me on this.
