The condition can be any expression that evaluates to either TRUE or FALSE. If the condition is true, the code block following the Then keyword will be executed. Otherwise, the code block following the Else keyword will be executed.

vba If Range("A1").Value > 100 Then MsgBox "Value in A1 is greater than 100" Else MsgBox "Value in A1 is less than or equal to 100" End If

In this example, if the value in cell A1 is greater than 100, a message box will be displayed with the text "Value in A1 is greater than 100". If the value in A1 is less than or equal to 100, the message box will display the text "Value in A1 is less than or equal to 100".

Logical operators allow you to combine multiple conditions in an if statement. The most common logical operators are:

And: Both conditions must be true for the statement to be true.
Or: Either condition can be true for the statement to be true.
Not: Reverses the truth value of the condition.

vba If Range("A1").Value > 100 And Range("B1").Value > 200 Then MsgBox "Both values are greater than 100 and 200" Else MsgBox "At least one value is not greater than 100 or 200" End If

In this example, both conditions must be true for the message box to display the text "Both values are greater than 100 and 200". If either condition is false, the message box will display the text "At least one value is not greater than 100 or 200".

Nested if statements allow you to create more complex conditional statements. A nested if statement is an if statement that is contained within another if statement. This allows you to check multiple conditions in a single statement.

vba If Range("A1").Value > 100 Then MsgBox "Value in A1 is greater than 100" If Range("B1").Value > 200 Then MsgBox "Value in B1 is also greater than 200" End If Else MsgBox "Value in A1 is less than or equal to 100" End If

In this example, if the value in cell A1 is greater than 100, the message box will display the text "Value in A1 is greater than 100". If the value in cell</body></html>
