The following code shows a simple example of using the VBA If statement
If Range("A1").Value > 5 Then

Debug.Print "Value is greater than five."
ElseIf Range("A1").Value < 5 Then
Debug.Print "value is less than five."
Else
Debug.Print "value is equal to five."
End If
What is If and why do you need it?

The VBA If statement is used to allow your code to make choices when it is
running.
You will often want to make choices based on the data your macros reads.
For example, you may want to read only the students who have marks greater than
70. As you read through each student you would use the If Statement to check the
marks of each student.
The important word in the last sentence is check. The If statement is used to check
a value and then to perform a task based on the results of that check.
The Test Data

We’re going to use the following test data for the code examples in this post.

Format of the VBA If Then

Statement
The format of the If Then statement is as follows
If [condition is true] Then
The If keyword is followed by a Condition and the keyword Then
Every time you use an If Then statement you must use a matching End If
statement.
When the condition evaluates to true, all the lines between If Then and End If are
We processed.

If [condition is true] Then

[lines of code]
[lines of code]
[lines of code]
End If
To make your code more readable it is good practice to indent the lines between
the If Then and End If statements.
Indenting Between If and End If

Indenting simply means to move a line of code one tab to the right. The rule of
thumb is to indent between start and end statements like
Sub … End Sub

If Then … End If
If Then… ElseIf … Else … Endif
For … Next
Do While … Loop
Select Case … End Case
To indent the code you can highlight the lines to indent and press the Tab key.
Pressing Shift + Tab will Outdent the code i.e. move it one tab to the left.
You can also use the icons from the Visual Basic Toolbar to indent/outdent the
code
Select code and click icons to indent/outdent
If you look at any code examples on this website you will see that the code is
indented.
A Simple If Then Example

The following code prints out the names of all students with marks greater than
50 in French.
Sub ReadMarks()
Dim i As Long
' Go through the marks columns
For i = 2 To 11
' Check if marks greater than 50
If Range("C" & i) > 50 Then
' Print student name to the Immediate Window(Ctrl + G)
Debug.Print Range("A" & i) & " " & Range("B" & i)
End If
Next
End Sub

Play around with this example and check the value or the > sign and see how the
results change.
If Conditions
The piece of code between the If and the Then keywords is called the condition. A
condition is a statement that evaluates to true or false. They are mostly used with
Loops and If statements. When you create a condition you use signs like
>,<,<>,>=,<=,=.
The following are examples of conditions
Condition This is true when
x<5 x is less than 5
x <= 5 x is less than or equal to 5
x>5 x is greater than 5
x >= 5 x is greater than or equal to 5
x=5 x is equal to 5
x <>

x > 5 And x < 10 Read more (https://excelmacromastery.com/cookie-policy/)
Condition This is true when
x = 2 Or x >10 x is equal to 2 OR x is greater than 10
Range("A1") = "John" Cell A1 contains text "John"
Range("A1") <> "John" Cell A1 does not contain text "John"
You may have noticed x=5 as a condition. This should not be confused with x=5
when used as an assignment.
When equals is used in a condition it means “is the left side equal to the right side”.
The following table demonstrates how the equals sign is used in conditions and
assignments
Using Equals Statement Type Meaning
Loop Until x = Condition Is x equal to 5

5
Do While x = Condition Is x equal to 5

5
If x = 5 Then Condition Is x equal to 5
For x = 1 To 5 Assignment Set the value of x to 1, then to 2 etc.
x=5 Assignment Set the value of x to 5
b=6=5 Assignment and Assign b to the result of condition 6 =

Condition 5
x = MyFunc Assignment Assign x to the value returned from

(5,6) the function
The last entry in the above table shows a statement with two equals. The first
equals sign is the assignment and any following equals signs are conditions.
This might seem confusing at first but think of it like this. Any statement that starts
with a variable and an equals is in the following format
[variable] [=] [evaluate this part]
So whatever is on the right of the equals sign is evaluated and the result is placed
in the variable. Taking the last three assignments again, you could look at them like
this
[x] [=] [5]

[b] [=] [6 = 5]
[x] [=] [MyFunc(5,6)]
Using If ElseIf
The ElseIf statement allows you to choose from more than one option. In the
following example we print for marks that are in the Distinction or High Distinction
range.
Sub UseElseIf()
If Marks >= 85 Then

Debug.Print "High Destinction"
ElseIf Marks >= 75 Then
Debug.Print "Destinction"
End If
End
We use Sub to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website. If you continue to use this site
cookies
The important thing to understand is that order is important. The If condition is

checked first.
If it is true then “High Distinction” is printed and the If statement ends.
If it is false then the code moves to the next ElseIf and checks it condition.
Let’s swap around the If and ElseIf from the last example. The code now look like
this
Sub UseElseIfWrong()
' This code is incorrect as the ElseIf will never be true

If Marks >= 75 Then
' code will never reach here
End If
End Sub
In this case we check for a value being over 75 first. We will never print “High
Distinction” because if a value is over 85 is will trigger the first if statement.
To avoid these kind of problems we should use two conditions. These help state
exactly what you are looking for a remove any confusion. The example below
shows how to use these. We will look at more multiple conditions in the section
below.
If marks >= 75 And marks < 85 Then

experience
we will assume
Debug.Print "High that you are happy with it.
Destinction" Ok
End If Read more (https://excelmacromastery.com/cookie-policy/)
Let’s expand the original code. You can use as many ElseIf statements as you like.
We will add some more to take into account all our mark classifications.
Using If Else
The Else statement is used as a catch all. It basically means “if no conditions were
true” or “everything else”. In the previous code example, we didn’t include a print
statement for a fail mark. We can add this using Else.
Sub UseElse()
If Marks >= 85 Then

Debug.Print "Credit"
Debug.Print "Pass"
Else
' For all other marks
Debug.Print "Fail"
End If
End Sub
So if it is not one of the other types then it is a fail.
Let’s write some code to through our sample data and print the student and their
We classification.
Sub AddClass()
' get the last row

Dim startRow As Long, lastRow As Long
startRow = 2
lastRow = Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Dim i As Long, Marks As Long

Dim sClass As String

For i = startRow To lastRow
Marks = Range("C" & i)
' Check marks and classify accordingly
If Marks >= 85 Then
sClass = "High Destinction"
sClass = "Destinction"
sClass = "Credit"
sClass = "Pass"
Else
sClass = "Fail"
End If
' Write out the class to column E

Range("E" & i) = sClass
Next
End Sub
The results look like this with column E containing the classification of the marks

Using If And/If Or
You can have more than one condition in an If Statement. The VBA keywords And
and Or allow use of multiple conditions.
These words work in a similar way to how you would use them in English.
Let’s look at our sample data again. We now want to print all the students that got
over between 50 and 80 marks.
We use And to add an extra condition. The code is saying: if the mark is greater
than or equal 50 and less than 75 then print the student name.
Sub CheckMarkRange()
Dim i As Long, marks As Long

For i = 2 To 11
' Store marks for current student

marks = Range("C" & i)
' Check if marks greater than 50 and less than 75

If marks >= 50 And marks < 80 Then
' Print first and last name to Immediate window(Ctrl G)
Debug.Print Range("A" & i) & Range("B" & i)
End If
Next
End Sub

In our next example we want the students who did History or French. So in this
case we are saying if the student did History OR if the student did French.
Sub ReadMarksSubject()

For i = 2 To 11
marks = Range("D" & i)
' Check if marks greater than 50 and less than 80
If marks = "History" Or marks = "French" Then
' Print first and last name to Immediate window(Ctrl G)
Debug.Print Range("A" & i) & " " & Range("B" & i)
End If
Next
End Sub

Using Multiple conditions like this is often a source of errors. The rule of thumb to
remember is to keep them as simple as possible.
Using If And
We The AND works
use cookies as that
to ensure follows
we give you the best experience on our website. If you continue to use this site
Condition 1 Read more (https://excelmacromastery.com/cookie-policy/)
TRUE TRUE TRUE
TRUE FALSE FALSE
FALSE TRUE FALSE
FALSE FALSE FALSE
What you will notice is that AND is only true when all conditions are true
Using If Or
The OR keyword works as follows
Condition 1 Condition 2 Result
TRUE TRUE TRUE
TRUE FALSE TRUE
FALSE TRUE TRUE
FALSE FALSE FALSE
What you will notice is that OR is only false when all the conditions are false.
Mixing AND and OR together can make the code difficult to read and lead to errors.
Using parenthesis can make the conditions clearer.
Sub OrWithAnd()
Dim subject As String, marks As Long

subject = "History"
marks = 5
If (subject = "French" Or subject = "History") And marks >= 6 Then

Debug.Print "True"
Else
Debug.Print "False"
End If
End Sub
Using If Not
There is also a NOT operator. This returns the opposite result of the condition.
Condition Result
TRUE FALSE
FALSE TRUE
The following two lines of code are equivalent.
If marks < 40 Then

If Not marks >= 40 Then
as are we will assume that you are happy with it. Ok
If True Then
If Not False Then
and
If False Then
If Not True Then
Putting the condition in parenthesis makes the code easier to read
If Not (marks >= 40) Then
A common usage of Not when checking if an object has been set. Take a
worksheet for example. Here we declare the worksheet
Dim mySheet As Worksheet

' Some code here
We want to check mySheet is valid before we use it. We can check if it is nothing.
If mySheet Is Nothing Then
There is no way to check if it is something as there is many different ways it could

be something. Therefore we use Not with Nothing
If Not mySheet Is Nothing Then
If you find this a bit confusing you can use parenthesis like this
If Not (mySheet Is Nothing) Then
The IIF function

VBA has an fuction similar to the Excel If function. In Excel you will often use the If
function as follows:
=IF(F2=””,””,F1/F2)
The format is
=If(condition, action if true, action if false).
VBA has the IIf statement which works the same way. Let’s look at an example. In
the following code we use IIf to check the value of the variable val. If the value is
greater than 10 we print true otherwise we print false.
Sub CheckVal()
Dim result As Boolean

Dim val As Long
' Prints True

val = 11
result = IIf(val > 10, True, False)
Debug.Print result
' Prints false

val = 5
result = IIf(val > 10, True, False)
Debug.Print result
End Sub
In our next example we want to print out Pass or Fail beside each student
depending on their marks. In the first piece of code we will use the normal VBA If
statement to do this.

For i = 2 To 11

' Check if student passes or fails

If marks >= 40 Then
' Write out names to to Column F
Range("E" & i) = "Pass"
Else
Range("E" & i) = "Fail"
End If
Next
End Sub
In the next piece of code we will use the IIf function. You can see that the code is
much neater here.

For i = 2 To 11

' Check if student passes or fails

Range("E" & i) = IIf(marks >= 40,"Pass","Fail")
Next
End Sub
You can see the IIf function is very useful for simple cases where you are dealing
with two possible options.
Using Nested IIf

You can also nest IIf statements like in Excel. This means using the result of one IIf
with another. Let’s add another result type to our previous examples. Now we want
to print Distinction, Pass or Fail for each student.
Using the normal VBA we would do it like this
Sub CheckResultType2()

For i = 2 To 11

If marks >= 75 Then

Range("E" & i) = "Distinction"
ElseIf marks >= 40 Then
' Write out names to to Column F
Range("E" & i) = "Pass"
Else
Range("E" & i) = "Fail"
End If
Next
End Sub
Using nested IIfs we could do it like this
Sub UsingNestedIIF()
Dim i As Long, marks As Long, result As String

For i = 2 To 11

result = IIf(marks >= 55,"Credit",IIf(marks >= 40,"Pass","Fail"))
Range("E" & i) = result
Next
End Sub
Using nested IIf is fine in simple cases like this. The code is simple to read and
therefore not likely to have errors.
What to Watch Out For

It is important to understand that the IIf function always evaluates both the True
and False parts of the statement regardless of the condition.
In the following example we want to divide by marks when it does not equal zero. If
it equals zero we want to return zero.
marks = 0
total = IIf(marks = 0, 0, 60 / marks)
We However,
use cookieswhen

give aon
“ our website. If you continue
” error. to use
This is this site

here i.e.
If we use a normal IF statement it will only run the appropriate line.
marks = 0
If marks = 0 Then
'Only executes this line when marks is zero
total = 0
Else
'Only executes this line when marks is Not zero
total = 60 / marks
End If
What this also means is that if you have Functions for True and False then both will
be executed. So IIF will run both Functions even though it only uses one return
value. For example
'Both Functions will be executed every time

total = IIf(marks = 0, Func1, Func2)
(Thanks to David for pointing out this behaviour in the comments)
If Versus IIf
So which is better?
You can see for this case that IIf is shorter to write and neater. However if the
conditions get complicated you are better off using the normal If statement. A
disadvantage of IIf is that it is not well known so other users may not understand it
as well as code written with a normal if statement.
Also as we discussed in the last section IIF always evaluates the True and False
function calls. For more complex cases use the normal If statement.
Using Select Case

The Select Case statement is an alternative way to write an If statment with lots of
ElseIf’s. You will find this type of statement in most popular programming
languages where it is called the Switch statement. For example Java, C#, C++ and
Javascript all have a switch statement.
The format is
Select Case [variable]

Case [condition 1]
Case [condition 2]
Case [condition n]
Case Else
End Select
Let’s take our AddClass example from above and rewrite it using a Select Case
statement.
Sub AddClass()
' get the last row

Dim startRow As Long, lastRow As Long
startRow = 2
Dim i As Long, Marks As Long


For i = startRow To lastRow
Marks = Range("C" & i)
If Marks >= 85 Then
sClass = "Credit"
sClass = "Pass"
Else
sClass = "Fail"
End If

Next
End Sub
The following is the same code using a Select Case statement. The main thing you
<=100”.
Sub AddClassWithSelect()
' get the first and last row

Dim firstRow As Long, lastRow As Long
firstRow = 2


For i = firstRow To lastRow
Select Case marks
Case 85 To 100
Case 75 To 84
Case 55 To 74
sClass = "Credit"
Case 40 To 54
sClass = "Pass"
Case Else
sClass = "Fail"
End Select
Next
End Sub
Using Casewe Is
will assume that you are happy with it. Ok
You can use Is with Case.
Select Case marks

Case Is >= 85
Case Is >= 75
Case Is >= 55
sClass = "Credit"
Case Is >= 40
sClass = "Pass"
Case Else
sClass = "Fail"
End Select
You can use Is to check for multiple values. In the following code we are checking
if marks equals 5, 7 or 9.
Sub TestMultiValues()
Dim marks As Long

marks = 7
Select Case marks

Case Is = 5, 7, 9
Debug.Print True
Case Else
Debug.Print False
End Select
End Sub

We are going to use cell G1 to write the name of a subject.

In the columns H to L write out all the students who have marks in this subject. We
want to classify their result as pass or fail. Marks below 40 is a fail and marks 40
or above is a pass.
Column H: First name

Column I: Second name
Column J: Marks
Column H: Subject
Column I: Result type – Pass or Fail

Excellent site, thanks Paul!
You might want to include a warning about IIF’s nasty practice of fully evaluating
both the True and False part before selecting the appropriate one. This is bad
enough when you get an error (e.g. IIF(1=1,99/1,99/0) always results in a Divide by
Zero), but it can be a lot trickier when Functions are involved!

Hi, I have to write an IF statement when 4 out of 6 conditions are true (4 out of 6
months have a certain condition). Is there a way to combine it to say that If (for
example) 4 out of 6 months are = 1.3* a cell, then do this?
Your website is very helpful; thank you!

Hi Mary if the six months are in a range of cells you could use
CountIf like this
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("A1:A6"), 1.3) = 4
Then
' Do something
End If
otherwise a loop is the most efficient way
Sub CheckOccurences()
Dim cnt As Long

' Count the number of occurrences
For Each cell In Range("A1:A6")
If cell.value = 1.3 Then
cnt = cnt + 1
End If
Next
If cnt = 4 Then
' Do something
End If
End Sub

Hello Paul,
I need a IF formula with the different sheets.

i.e. If sheet2 on B1 column has the amount of “100” then it is “TRUE” then
If it is false it is “False”.
Please give a formula for this on VBA.
Thanks & Regards,

Naresh.K

A Simple If Then Example

The following are examples of conditions

Condition This is true when

x<5 x is less than 5

x <= 5 x is less than or equal to 5

x>5 x is greater than 5

x >= 5 x is greater than or equal to 5

Condition This is true when

x = 2 Or x >10 x is equal to 2 OR x is greater than 10

Range("A1") = "John" Cell A1 contains text "John"

Range("A1") <> "John" Cell A1 does not contain text "John"

Using Equals Statement Type Meaning

Loop Until x = Condition Is x equal to 5

Do While x = Condition Is x equal to 5

If x = 5 Then Condition Is x equal to 5

For x = 1 To 5 Assignment Set the value of x to 1, then to 2 etc.

x=5 Assignment Set the value of x to 5

b=6=5 Assignment and Assign b to the result of condition 6 =

x = MyFunc Assignment Assign x to the value returned from

The important thing to understand is that order is important. The If condition is

' This code is incorrect as the ElseIf will never be true

If marks >= 75 And marks < 85 Then

If Marks >= 85 Then

So if it is not one of the other types then it is a fail.
