VBA Data Type

This document discusses fundamentals of programming with VBA, including exit statements and VBA data types. It explains that exit statements can be used to exit for, next, do, and while loops as well as sub and function procedures. The document also lists VBA's built-in data types, such as boolean, integer, long integer, single and double precision, currency, date, object, string, and variant, and provides the storage size and value ranges for each data type. Unless declared, variables default to the variant type.

FUNDAMENTALS OF PROGRAMMING WITH VBA

using the Exit For (from a For...Next loop or For Each...Next loop) or Exit Do
(from a Do While... loop). The Exit statement will normally be located within an
If statement. For example,
If CellContenkValue c= 0 Then Exit For

Use the Exit Sub or Exit Function to exit from a procedure. Again, the Exit
statement will normally be located within an If statement.
Exit statements can appear as many times as needed within a procedure.

VBA Data Types


VBA uses a range of different data types. Table 2-6 lists the built-in data
types. Unless you declare a variable's type, VBA will use the Variant type. You
can save memory space if your procedure deals only with integers, for example,
by declaring the variable as Integer. The keyword Dim is used to declare a
variable's data type, as will be described in a following section.
