VBA Comparison Operators
VBA comparison operators are used to compare values in VBA and Macros for Excel.
List of VBA Comparison Operators
Comparison Operator |
Meaning |
---|---|
< |
A < B - Checks if A is LESS THAN B. |
> |
A > B - Checks if A is GREATER THAN B. |
<= |
A <= B - Checks if A is less than or equal to B. |
>= |
A >= B - Checks if A is greater than or equal to B. |
= |
A = B - Checks if A is equal to B. Note that a single equal sign is also used to assign a value to a variable when it is not being used in the context of a comparison. |
<> |
A <> B - Checks if A is NOT equal to B. |
Comparison Operator Examples
Each example uses an IF statement to compare the values A and B and it will then output a message depending on the result of the comparison.
The part to pay attention to comes between the If and Then section of the code.
A < B
If A is less than B.
If A < B Then MsgBox "Hi!" Else MsgBox "Bye!"
A > B
If A is greater than B.
If A > B Then MsgBox "Hi!" Else MsgBox "Bye!"
A <= B
If A is less than or equal to B.
If A <= B Then MsgBox "Hi!" Else MsgBox "Bye!"
A >= B
If A is greater than or equal to B.
If A >= B Then MsgBox "Hi!" Else MsgBox "Bye!"
A = B
If A is equal to B.
If A = B Then MsgBox "Hi!" Else MsgBox "Bye!"
A <> B
If A is not equal to B.
If A <> B Then MsgBox "Hi!" Else MsgBox "Bye!"
Notes
Comparison operators are pretty straightforward but it does take a little time to get used to using them.
