Excel VBA Intro Intermediate course
how do you create a variable?
Jacky
A variable needs to be declared before it can be used. To do this:
Dim/Public <variablename> as <type>
eg
Dim Area as Single
Public UserName as String

If a formula returns a #DIV/0 error message there is a way to avoid such results.
For example the formula =A1/B1 will return a #DIV/0 if B1 is empty or a zero.
If you protect your formulas with the ISERROR function, the formula will then look like this:
=IF(ISERROR(A1/B1),0,A1/B1)
In plain English: should the result of A1 divided by B1 be an error change the result to 0 else show the result of A1/B1.
