VBA Data Types VBA Interacting With User Referencing Workbooks/Worksheets/Ranges

String Message Box Workbooks
Used to hold text Msgbox “Hello world” Workbook that contains code:
Long User Input ThisWorkbook
Long integer (whole numbers). -2,147,483,648 to usrInput = InputBox(“Please Enter Your Name”) Using the Active Workbook:
Active Workbook
2,147,483,647
Using Numbered Index:
Integer Workbooks(1)
Short integer (whole number). -32,768 to 32,767 Comparison Operators Using Workbook Name:
Boolean Greater Than / Greater Than or Equal Workbooks(“myWkbk”)
True or False Greater Than : > Worksheet
Boolean Greater Than or Equal: >= Using the Active Worksheet:
True or False Less Than / Less Than or Equal ActiveSheet
Date Less Than : < Using the Selected Worksheet:
Less Than or Equal: <= Windows.SelectedSheets
Holds date data types. 1/1/100 to 12/31/9999
Single/Double Equal / Not Equal Using Numbered Index:
Equal : = Worksheets(1)
Used to hold values with decimals
Not Equal: <> Using Worksheet Name:
Variant Worksheets(“myWksht”)
Catch all data type. When an explicit data type is not Range
declared, variant type is assigned Reference Single Cell:
Logical Operators
Or Range(“A1”)
True Or True = True Refernce Multiple Adjacent Cells:
VBA Common Operations (Required syntax in bold)
True Or False = True Range(“A1:C5”)
If Statement False Or False = False Reference Multiple Non Adjacent Cells
If numGrade > 90 Then
And Range(“A1:A5, C1:C5”)
letterGrade = “A”
True And True = True Using a Named Range
ElseIf numGrade > 80 Then
letterGrade = “B” True And False = False Range(“myRange”)
Else False And False = False Cells
letterGrade = “F” Not Refernce All Cells
End If Not True = False Worksheet.Cells
Not False = True Rererence Cells with one Parameter
Cells(3) = “C1”
For … Next Loop
Reference Cells With Two Parameters
For x=0 to 49 Cells(3,3) = “C3”
‘Loop Over Code Commenting Code
Cells(3, “E”) = “E3”
Next x Single Line Comment
For Each … Next Loop Single line comments are created by
For Each Item In Selection using an apostorpher (‘) at the
beginning of a line Useful Tips
Item.Offset(0, 1) = Item * 2
Next With … End With
Do … Loop While Msgbox “This line of code will execute” With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
Do ‘Msgbox “This line of code will execute” .Range(“A1”)=Month
.Range(“A1”).Offset(Item,0) = Item Multi Line Comments End With
Loop While myBool = True View -> Toolbars -> Edit OffSet
Do While … Loop For x=0 to 100
Do While myBool=True .Range(“A1”).Offset(x,0) = Rnd
.Range(“A1”).Offset(Item,0) = Item Next x
Loop
