For and Next loops

Hi

We have done a lot of For and Next loops where the looping variable is a series of numbers, eg:

For intName = 1 to 10

Can you set up this looping with non-sequential numbers, or with text? Or can you refer to a list in another location?

eg For dateMonth=Jan,Feb,Mar etc

eg For strName=each of the values on rows 2 to 8 in column 3 on the sheet "List page"?


Thanks

Tracey

RE: For and Next loops

Hi Tracey,

Thank you for your question.

Here is a line of code that will allow non sequential numbers:

For I = 0 to 100 step 2 - step 2 meaning every other number

On the advanced course we cover this and we also cover arrays which may help you.

I hope this has answered your question.

Regards,

Simon
