Lesson 10 If...Then...Else


In Excel VBA 365, decision making involves the use of the If...Then...Else syntax to process data and display the output based on the fulfillment of certain conditions. To effectively control the VB program flow, we must use If...Then..Else statement together with the conditional operators and logical operators.

These operators are shown in Table 10.1 and Table 10.2 respectively.

Table 10.1 Conditional Operators
Operator Meaning
= Equal to
> More than
< Less than
>= More than and equal
<= Less than and equal
<> Not equal to

Table 10.2 Logical Operators
Operator Meaning
And Both sides are equal
Or One side or other must be true
Xor One side or other must be true but not both
Not Negates Both

We shall demonstrate the usage of If….Then…Else with the following example. In this program, we place the command button on the MS Excel spreadsheet and go into the Excel VBA 365 editor by clicking on the button. In the editor, enter the program code as shown below.

We use the Rnd function to generate random numbers. In order to generate random integers between 0 and 100, we combined the syntax Int(Rnd*100). For example, when Rnd=0.6543, then Rnd*100=65.43, and Int(65.43)=65. Using the statement cells(1,1).Value=mark will place the value of 65 into cell(1,1).

Now, based on the mark in cells(1,1), we use the If…….Then….Elseif statements to put the corresponding grade in cells(2,1). So, when you click on command button 1, it will insert a random number between 1 and 100 in cells(1,1) and the corresponding grade in cells(2,1).

The Code

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim mark As Integer
Dim grade As String
 mark = Int(Rnd * 100)
 Cells(1, 1).Value = mark
If mark < 20 And mark >= 0 Then
 grade = "F"
 Cells(2, 1).Value = grade
ElseIf mark <30 And mark >= 20 Then
 grade = "E"
 Cells(2, 1).Value = grade
ElseIf mark < 40 And mark >= 30 Then
 grade = "D"
 Cells(2, 1).Value = grade
ElseIf mark <50 And mark >= 40 Then
 grade = "C-"
 Cells(2, 1).Value = grade
ElseIf mark <60 And mark >= 50 Then
 grade = "C"
 Cells(2, 1).Value = grade
ElseIf mark < 70 And mark >= 60 Then
 grade = "C+" 
 Cells(2, 1).Value = grade
ElseIf mark < 80 And mark >= 70 Then
 grade = "B"
 Cells(2, 1).Value = grade
ElseIf mark <= 100 And mark >=80 Then
 grade = "A"
 Cells(2, 1).Value = grade
End If
End Sub
