Creating functions in VBA


Checking for access to VBA
If your excel window is like below, then you need to add a
tab for VBA.
Adding tab for VBA access
 To have access to VBA, a special tab called “Developer” have to
be added.:
 Right click on tab bar and choose “Customize the Ribbon”

 Then tick() on “Developer "and press OK


 Click on “Developer” tab.
Opening VBA editor
 Click on Developer tab
 Click on Visual Basic” icon.
VBA editor
Creating functions
 In a module you can create as many as functions you
want.

 In creating any function, you have to declare to VBA that


you are writing code for a function.

 This is done simply by writing “Function” at the beginning


of the code.
Structure of a function
 Function declaration
 Function name
 Open parenthesis and write variables’ name.
 Calculation
 End function
Functions’ name
 A function name must start with a letter.

 It cannot have spaces.

 Names for functions can be written in capital or small or


mixed letters.
A Function for Converting C° to F°
Function CtoF(temp)
CtoF=9Τ5 ∗ 𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑝 + 32
End Function

Question: Identify the components of the above function.


Identifying Parts of C° to F° Function

Function’s name

Variable’s name
Function
Function CtoF (temp)
declaration
CtoF=9⁄5∗𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑝+32
Calculation
End Function
Cautions for successful function coding
 Function’s name as well as variables’ names must be
spelled exactly as they are throughout calculations.

 If you have many formula in calculation, the last formula


which returns function’s value must contain function’s
name.
Example for caution
Function sumExam(n)
sum = 0 Function CtoF(temp)
For i = 1 To n CtoF=9Τ5 ∗ 𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑝 + 32
i=i+1 End Function
If I <=n then
sum = sum + (1 / i) ^ I
Else
End if
Next
sumExam = sum
End Function
Exercise-1
 Create a function for converting Centigrade to
Fahrenheit degrees.

 Create a function to convert meter to foot.


Convert Meter to Foot
Function MtoF(length)
MtoF=(length)*3.28
End Function

 Test the function.


Exercise-2
Create a function in VBA to calculate the following
function

𝑥2 X<10
𝑓 𝑥 =ቊ X>=10
𝑥
Solution
Function Math(x)
If x < 10 Then
Math = x ^ 2
Else
Math = Sqr(x)
End If
End Function
Exercise-3
 Create a function to calculate water velocity in a pipe.
The input parameters are water discharge and pipe
diameter.
Solution(3)
Function VelocityPipe(Q, D)
Pi = WorksheetFunction.Pi
VelocityPipe = 4 * Q / Pi / D ^ 2
End Function
Exercise-4
 Write a function to calculate Manning’s velocity equation.
The input variables are n, A,P and S.
Solution(4)
Function ManningVelocity(n, A, P, S)
R =A / P
ManningVelocity = (1 / n) * R ^ (2 / 3) * S ^ 0.5
End Function
Exercise-5
Write a function in VBA to calculate Manning’s equation.
The input parameters are water depth, n and slope. Assume
the bed width of the canal is 5 m and the side slope is
3H:1V.
Solution(5)
Function ManningVelocity2(d, n, s)
b=5
A = d*b+3*d^2
P = b + 2 * (10 * d ^ 2) ^ 0.5
R =A / P
ManningVelocity2 = (1 / n) * R ^ (2 / 3) * s ^ 0.5
End Function
Exercise-6
𝑛 1
Write a function in VBA to calculateσ𝑖=1 . Then try the
𝑖
function for n=2,3,4,5. Series expand such as:

2
1 1
෍ +
1 2
𝑖=1

5
1 1 1 1 1
෍ + + + +
1 2 3 4 5
𝑖=1
Solution(5)
Function series1(n)
For i = 1 To n
s = s + (1 / i)
Next
series1 = s
End Function
Exercise-7
Write a function in VBA to calculate the summation of even
numbers for any natural number n.
Solution (7)
Function SumEven(n)
For i = 1 To n
If i < n Then
i=i+1
s=s+i
Else
End If
Next
SumEven = s
End Function
Exercise-8
Write a function in VBA to calculate the summation of the
odd numbers for any natural number.
Solution(8)
Function SumOdd(n)
s=0
For I = 0 To n
I=I+1
If I <= n Then
s=s+I
Else
End If
Next
SumOdd = s
End Function
Mod function
5 Mod 2 =1
 The above syntax means that the result of division 5 by 2
has a digit after zero.
 5/2=2.5
4 Mod 2 =0
 The above syntax means that the result of division of 4 by
two does not have any digit after zero.

 It is possible to distinguish even/odd numbers using Mod


function.
Exercise-9
Using Mod function write a function in VBA to calculate the
summation of even numbers for any natural number n.
Solution(9)
Function SumEven2(n)
For i = 1 To n
If i Mod 2 = 0 Then
s=s+i
Else
End If
Next
SumEven2 = s
End Function
Exercise-10
Using Mod function write a function in VBA to calculate the
summation of odd numbers for any natural number n.
Solution(10)
Function SumOdd2(n)
For i = 1 To n
If i Mod 2 = 1 Then
s=s+i
Else
End If
Next
SumOdd2 = s
End Function
