VBA - Conditional Flow

A key concept of programming is conditional flow. This is where the program will compare a value or and range of value to determine the flow path of the program.

A basic example of an if statement will perform a task IF a statement equates to true.

We can include an else statement that will execute if the expression equates to false.

 If we want to compare a variable to a range of values then we can use the ElseIf keyword. This allows us to evaluated a range of statements to determine the flow of the program.

Comparisons

> - Greater than
< - Less Than
>= - Greater or equal to
<= - Less than or equal to
= - Equal to
<> - Not equal to

These can be combined with AND and OR statements

Code Snippet:

Sub a5_conditional_flow_b()

Dim testScore As Integer

testScore = 60

If testScore >= 50 And testScore < 100 Then

    MsgBox "Pass"

ElseIf testScore < 0 Then

    MsgBox "Did something go wrong?"

Else

    MsgBox "Try again"

End If

End Sub
