Chapter 6 :  DO.........LOOP

 

In the previous chapter, you have learned to use the   For........Next loop to execute a repetitive process. In this chapter,  you will learn about another looping method know as the Do Loop. There are four ways you can use the Do Loop as show  below.

 

i) Do...........Loop While

(ii) Do until.............Loop

(iii) Do while............Loop

(iv) Do............Loop until

 

 

Example 1

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim counter As Integer
Do
counter = counter + 1
Cells(counter, 1) = counter
Loop While counter < 10

End Sub

In this example, the program will keep on adding 1 to the preceding counter value as long as the counter value is less than 10. It displays 1 in cells(1,1), 2 in cells(2,1)´.. until 10 in cells (10,1).

 

 

Example 2

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim counter As Integer
Do Until counter = 10
counter = counter + 1
Cells(counter, 1) = 11 - counter
Loop

End Sub

 

In this example, the program will keep on adding 1 to the preceding counter value until  the counter value reaches 10. It displays 10 in cells(1,1), 9  in cells(2,1)´.. until 1 in cells (10,1).

Examle 3

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim counter , sum As Integer

'To set the alignment to center
Range("A1:C11").Select
With Selection
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
End With

Cells(1, 1) = "X"
Cells(1, 2) = "Y"
Cells(1, 3) = "X+Y"

Do While counter < 10
counter = counter + 1
Cells(counter + 1, 1) = counter
Cells(counter + 1, 2) = counter * 2
sum = Cells(counter + 1, 1) + Cells(counter + 1, 2)
Cells(counter + 1, 3) = sum
Loop
End Sub

In this example, the program will display the values of X in cells(1,1) to cells(11,1). The value of Y is X2 and the values are display in column 2, i.e. from cells(2,1) to cells(2,11). Finally, it shows the values of X+Y in column 3, i.e. from cells(3,1) to cells(3,11)
