Hello,

I have a question about "if then" in excel vba

I've been looking all over the web for an answer or example and now matter what code I try I cannot get the right syntax.

I have a column named "code" which contains item codes and I want to test the value and place a particular value in another cell based on the comparison.

Allow me to illustrate.

Code
1AALIBOLTS10000


now, I want to be able to look at the first char of cell A1 and if it is a "1" then place "its a 1" into column b cell 1

then I need to check the second char of cell A1 and if it is a "C" then place "its a C" into column e cell 1

and so on and so on until I have compared all the values I wish to compare.

I hope this makes sense. I've been pulling my hair out trying to get this accomplished.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Bill

the code for your question will look something like this.

Dim mycheck as boolean

endrange = range("A65000").end(xlUp).row

for I = 1 to endrange

mycheck = range("A" & i).value Like "1*"

if mycheck = true then

range("B" & i).value="Its a One"
end if

my2check = range("A" & i).value Like "?c*"

if my2check = true then

range("E" & i).value="Its a C"
end if

next I



Hope it helps. :)

Thanks so much, this is handy for the piles of things with zeros I must process.
