    ARRAY LESSION WITH INPUT

    2.2.1 Numeric Data Types

    Numeric data types are types of data that consist of numbers. We can
    compute the numeric data mathematically with various standard operators
    such as plus, subtract, multiply, divide and so on. In Excel VBA, we can
    divide the numeric data into 7 types, as shown in Table 2.2

    ________________________________________________________
    Private Sub CommandButton1_Click( )
    Dim StudentName(1 to 5) As String
    For i = 1 To 5
    StudentName(i) = InputBox("Enter student Name")
    Cells(i, 1) = StudentName(i)
    Next
    End Sub
    _______________________________________________________

    Private Sub CommandButton1_Click( )


    Dim StudentName(3) As String, StudentID(3) As String,
    StudentMark(3) As Single
    For i = 1 To 3
    StudentName(i) = InputBox("Enter student Name")
    StudentID(i) = InputBox("Enter student ID")
    StudentMark(i) = InputBox("Enter student Mark")
    Cells(i, 1) = StudentName(i)
    Cells(i, 2) = StudentID(i)
    Cells(i, 3) = StudentMark(i)
    Next
    End Sub
    _____________________________________________________
    Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Dim SalesVolume(2to 6, 2 to 3) as Single
    Dim SalesPerson as Integer, Day as Integer
    For SalesPerson=2 to 6
    For Day=2 to3
    SalesVolume(SalesPerson, Day)=inputbox("Enter Sales Volume")
    Cells(SalesPerson, Day)=SalesVolume(SalesPerson,Day)
    Next Day
    Next SalesPerson
    End Sub

    Table 4.1 Arithmetic Operators

    Operator Mathematical function Example

    ^
    Exponential MsgBox 2^4 gives a value of 16

    *
    Multiplication MsgBox 4*3 gives a value of 12,

    /
    Division MsgBox 12/4 gives a value of 3

    Modulus (returns the


    remainder from an integer
    Mod
    division) MsgBox 15 Mod 4 gives value of 3

    Integer Division(discards
    \
    the decimal places) MsgBox 19\4 gives a value of 4

    MsgBox “Excel”&”VBA 2010” or


    “Excel”+”VBA 2010” produces a
    + or &
    String concatenation new string “Excel VBA 2010”
    Table 4.2 Comparison Operators

    Meaning Example
    Operator
    MsgBox 2<3 returns true while MsgBox 4>5 returns
    <
    Less than false

    <=
    Less than or equal to MsgBox 3<=4 returns true

    >
    Greater than MsgBox 5>4 returns true

    Greater than or equal


    >=
    to MsgBox 10>=9 returns true

    =
    Equal to MsgBox 10=10 returns true

    <>
    Not Equal to MsgBox 9<>10 returns true

    * For letters, the hierarchy is A>B>C>……….>Z

    Therefore MsgBox A>B returns true

    4.3 Logical Operators

    Logical operators are also used in writing decision-making codes by


    comparing values or expressions.

    Table 4.3 Logical Operators

    Meaning Example
    Operator
    If A>=80 And B<101
    And
    Logical Conjunction thenGrade=”A”
    If income>5000 or car>2
    Or
    Logical Disjunction thenStatus=”Rich”

    MsgBox Not (3 > 4)returns


    Not
    Logical negation true

    Similar to Or, except that it returns False if MsgBox 4 > 3 Xor 5 >2
    Xor
    both camparison values are true returns false

    5.1 Sub Procedure

    A sub procedure in Excel VBA is a procedure that performs a specific task


    and to return values, but it does not return a value associated with its name.
    However, it can return a value through a variable name. Sub procedures are
    usually used to accept input from the user, display information, print
    information, manipulate properties or perform some other tasks. It is a
    program code by itself and it is not an event procedure because it is not
    associated with a runtime procedure or an Excel VBA control such as a
    command button. It is called by the main program whenever it is required to
    perform a certain task. A Sub procedure helps to make programs smaller and
    easier to manage.

    A sub procedure begins with a Sub statement and ends with an End Sub
    statement. The program structure of a sub procedure is as follows:

    Sub ProcedureName (arguments)


    Statements
    End Sub

    Example 5.1
    In this example, a sub procedure ResizeFont is created to resize the font in
    the range if it fulfils a value greater than 40. There are two parameters or
    arguments associated with the sub procedure, namely x for font size and Rge
    for range. This sub procedure is called by the event procedure Sub
    CommandButton1_Click () and passed the values 15 to x (for font size) and
    Range (“A1:A10”) to Rge (for range) to perform the task of resizing the font
    to 15 for values>40 in range A1 to A10.

    Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()


    ResizeFont 15, Range(“A1:A10”)
    End Sub

    Sub ResizeFont(x As Variant, Rge As Range)


    Dim cel As Range
    For Each cel In Rge
    If cel.Value > 40 Then
    cel.Font.Size = x
    End If
    Next cel
    End Sub

    To make the program more flexible and interactive, we can modify the above
    program to accept input from the user. The values input by the user through
    the input boxes will be passed on to the procedure to execute the job, as
    shown in Example 20.2.

    Example 5.2
    Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Dim rng As String
    rng = InputBox(“Input range”)
    x = InputBox(“Input Font Size”)
    ResizeFont x, Range(rng)
    End Sub

    Sub ResizeFont(x As Variant, Rge As Range)


    Dim cel As Range
    For Each cel In Rge
    If cel.Value > 40 Then
    cel.Font.Size = x
    End If
    Next cel
    End Sub
    5.2 Functions

    In Excel VBA, a function is similar to a sub procedure but the main purpose
    of the function is to accept a certain input from the user and return a value
    which is passed on to the main program to finish the execution. There are two
    types of functions, the built-in functions (or internal functions) and the
    functions created by the programmers, or simply called user-defined
    functions. The first built-in function is the Message Box. The message box
    acts as a dialog box where users can interact with the computer, it is able to
    perform certain actions in response to what the user clicks or selects.

    The syntax for a message box in Excel VBA is as follows,

    message=MsgBox(Prompt, Style Value,Title)


    The first argument, Prompt, will display the message in the message box. The
    Style Value determines what type of command button will appear in the
    message box. The Title argument will display the title of the message board
    while message is a variable that holds values that are returned by the MsgBox
    ( ) function. The values are determined by the type of buttons being clicked
    by the users. It has to be declared as Integer data type in the procedure or in
    the general declaration section. Please refer to Lesson 10 of Visual Basic
    Tutorial for the detail listings of the Style Value as well as the returned value.
    In this example, We created three command buttons which show different
    Options. We put in a few program codes in the last button which involve the
    use of If…Then…Elseif statements.

    Double-click the top button and enter the following code:

    Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

    MsgBox (“Welcome to VBA Programming”)

    End Sub

    By clicking the first message box, you will see the message as shown in
    Figure 5.2

    Figure 5.3
    Now double-click on the second button and enter the following code:
    Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()

    Dim message As String


    message = MsgBox(“Click Yes to Proceed, No to stop”, vbYesNoCancel,
    “Login”)
    If message = vbYes Then
    MsgBox “You may proceed”
    ActiveWorkbook.Activate
    ElseIf message = vbNo Then
    MsgBox “Your application is terminated”
    ActiveWorkbook.Close
    End If

    End Sub

    Click on the button and you shall see the following dialog. You will notice
    the Yes, No, Cancel buttons:

    Figure 5.4
    Now double-click on the second button and enter the following code:

    Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()


    Dim message As Integer
    message = MsgBox(“Click Yes to Proceed, No to stop”, vbYesNo, “Login”)
    If message = 6 Then
    Range(“A1”).Value = “You may proceed”
    ActiveWorkbook.Activate
    ElseIf message = 7 Then
    ActiveWorkbook.Close
    End If
    End Sub

    Click on the button and you would notice that the displayed message box
    comprises only the Yes and No button, as shown in Figure 5.4

    5.2.1 InputBox function

    An InputBox( ) function displays a message box where the user can enter a
    value or a message in the form of text. The syntax is
    myMessage=InputBox(Prompt, Title, default_text, x-position, y-position)

    myMessage is a variant data type but typically it is declared as a string,


    which accepts the message input by the users. The arguments are explained
    as follows:

     Prompt represents the message displayed normally as a question asked.


     The title represents the title of the Input Box.
     default-text represents the default text that appears in the input field where
    the user can use it as his or her intended input
     x-position and y-position represents the position or the coordinate of the
    input box.
    Example 5.3
    In this example, we insert a label and a command button into the MS Excel
    spreadsheet. Double click on the command button and enter the Excel VBA
    code as follows:

    Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()


    Dim userMsg As String
    userMsg = InputBox(“What is your message?”, “Message Entry Form”,
    “Enter your messge here”, 500, 700)
    If userMsg <> “” Then
    MsgBox( userMsg)
    Else
    MsgBox(“No Message”)
    End If
    End Sub
    * The InputBox is shown in Figure 5.4

    5.2.1 Creating User-Defined Functions

    The syntax to create a User-Defined function is as follows:

    Public Function functionName (Arg As dataType,…) As dataType

    or

    Private Function functionName (Arg As dataType,…) As dataType


    Public indicates that the function is applicable to the whole project while
    Private indicates that the function is only applicable to a certain module or
    procedure.

    In order to create a user-defined function in Excel VBA, you need to go into


    the Visual Basic Editor in MS Excel Spreadsheet.In the Visual Basic Editor,
    click on Insert on the menu bar to insert a module into the project. Enter the
    following code as shown in Figure 5.2. This function is to calculate the cube
    root of a number.

    Now enter the function CubeRoot just like you enter the formula of MS
    Excel, as shown in Figure 5.3. The value of cube root for the number in cell
    C4 will appear in cell D4.
