RE: Do Loop

Hi Willem

There are two types of Do...Loop.

The Do While...Loop and the Do Until...Loop

The Do While...Loop

You can use the Do While ... Loop to test a condition at the start of the loop. It will run the loop as long as the condition is true and stops when the condition becomes false. For Example:

Counter = 1

Do While Counter =< 10
Cells(Counter, 1).Value = Counter
Counter = Counter + 1
Loop

One thing to be caution is that sometimes the loop might be a infinite loop. And it happens when the condition never becomes false. In such case, you can stop the loop by press [ESC] or [CTRL] + [BREAK].

Do Until ... Loop

You can test the condition at the beginning of the loop and then run the loop until the test condition becomes true.

Example:
Counter = 1
Do Until Counter = 11
Cells(Counter, 1).Value = Counter
Counter = Counter + 1
Loop

These looping processes yield the same result as in the For ... Next structures example.

Hope this helps

Carlos
