For/Next Do/Loop - Step Functions

Within a for/next loop i know you can 'step' through the loop using the code

For x to y step z
...
next

will step through a count loop only displaying multiples of z (if counting units for instance)

Is it possible to set up a similar step function using a do x/loop routine? I cant get it to accept the 'Step z' at the end of the Do.... line

Many Thanks

RE: For/Next Do/Loop - Step Functions

Hi Ashley

Thanks for your question.

Step values only work with count based loops. Conditional based loops require numeric variables to be increased explicitly.

An example would be as follows


Sub test()

a = 1
b = 10

Do While a < b


a = a + 2

Loop

End Sub
