Vba For Loop

The document explains the For loop in programming, detailing its syntax and components such as counter, start, end, and optional Step. It provides three examples: a basic loop printing numbers 1 to 5, a loop using Step to print odd numbers from 1 to 10, and a backward loop counting down from 10 to 1. Key points emphasize the use of Next counter and the flexibility of the Step keyword for controlling increments or decrements.

A For loop allows you to repeat a block of code a specific number of times.

Here's
the basic syntax:

Basic Syntax:
vba
Copy
For counter = start To end [Step step]
' Code to be executed
Next counter
counter: The variable that will change during each loop iteration.

start: The starting value for the counter.

end: The ending value for the counter.

Step step: (optional) How much the counter will increase or decrease each time. If
you don't provide a step, it will default to 1.

Example 1: Basic For Loop


This example will print the numbers 1 to 5 in the Immediate Window:

vba
Copy
Sub ForLoopExample()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 5
Debug.Print i ' Prints numbers 1 to 5
Next i
End Sub
Example 2: Using the Step Keyword
If you want the loop to increment or decrement by something other than 1, use the
Step keyword. This example will print numbers from 1 to 10, increasing by 2 each
time:

vba
Copy
Sub ForLoopWithStep()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 10 Step 2
Debug.Print i ' Prints 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
Next i
End Sub
Example 3: Looping Backwards
You can also use the For loop to count backwards. Here's an example that loops from
10 down to 1:

vba
Copy
Sub ForLoopBackward()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 10 To 1 Step -1
Debug.Print i ' Prints 10, 9, 8, ..., 1
Next i
End Sub
Key Points:
Next counter is used to go to the next iteration.

The Step is optional but useful when you want to control the increment/decrement.
You can use a For loop to go forward or backward, depending on the start, end, and
Step values.
