What is option explicit?

VBA - Option Explicit

Hi Alix

Option Explicit forces the user to make explicit declaration of all variables in a file using the Dim or ReDim statements.

If you attempt to use an undeclared variable name, an error occurs at compile time.

If used, the Option Explicit statement must appear in a the code before any other code statements.

Use Option Explicit to avoid incorrectly typing the name of an existing variable or to avoid confusion in code where the scope of the variable is not clear.

If you do not use the Option Explicit statement, all undeclared variables are of Object type.

Hope this helps

Carlos

Excel tip:

Sorting List Subtotals

If you find that you would prefer to show the items in a subtotalled list in a different order, eg ascending rather than descending, you can sort your list. To sort a subtotalled list, hide the detail rows and then sort the subtotal rows. When you sort a subtotalled list, the hidden detail rows are automatically moved with the subtotal rows.
IMPORTANT: If you do not hide the details rows before sorting a subtotalled list, your subtotals will be removed and all of the rows in your list will be reordered.
