Hi Sara

Sorry for the delay in answering this question.

In VBA the While statement is used together with the Do…Loop structure which controls the repetitive execution of the code based upon a test of a condition.

The Do While structure executes the code as long as the condition is true. For example

Do While ActiveCell.Value <> “”
ActiveCell.Value = ActiveCell.Value *1.25
ActiveCell.Offset(1).Select
Loop

To perform the statement block at least once, use the following:

Do
Count = Count +1
Loop While Count <= NoStudents

Hope this helps

Excel tip:

Conditional formatting for cells that return text , not picked up by Go to command

If you have tried to format all cells containing text even those that display text as a result of a formula you may have had difficulty. As Go to command with constant selected does not pick up formulas that result in text.

Then try this. Select the range the formula cells appear in on your sheet. Format, select Conditional Formatting menu. In the dialog box under Condition 1, select "Formula Is" from drop down. Next to it in the Formula Box, enter the formula =Istext(A1. Click Format button , choose desired formatting settings and click OK. To go ahead and apply the conditional formatting click OK to accept
