Separate Strings through VBA Code

In this tutorial we are going to explain you how you can separate the strings using the VBA Macro Code in Microsoft Excel.

Below Is the Situation in which you need to separate the Full Name string to the First Name and the Last Name string:

You can place a command button on your worksheet (as shown in the above screenshot) And add the following code lines: 

1. We Declare a variable called Full_Name of Type String, a variable called Comma_Position of Type Integer, And a variable called i of Type Integer.

    Dim Full_Name As String, Comma_Position As Integer, i As Integer

The problem we are dealing With Is that we need To tell Excel VBA from where we want To separate the string. In Case of Smith, Mike the comma is at position 6 While in Case of Williams, Janet the comma is at position 9. 






2. We use a loop to execute the operations on each name entered in Excel. First, we initialize the variable Full_Name. Next, we use the Instr function to find the position of the comma.

    For i = 2 To 7
    Full_Name = Cells(i, 1).Value
    Comma_Position = InStr(Full_Name, ",")

Note: Currently this code is working from Row No. 2 to 7. You can modify it as per your requirement.


3. Now, we want to write the part after the comma to Column B and the part in front of the comma to column C. You can achieve this by adding below mentioned lines in you code:

Cells(i, 2).Value = Mid(Full_Name, Comma_Position + 2)
Cells(i, 3).Value = Left(Full_Name, Comma_Position - 1)

Mid(Full_Name, Comma_Position + 2) means we want the part of Full Name starting at character 'Comma_Position + 2' (this is exactly the first name).

Left(Full_Name, Comma_Position - 1) means we want the part of Full Name starting at the beginning until character 'Comma_Position - 1' (this is exactly the last name).


4. Now, close the loop.

    Next i




5. Final Code will look like below:
   

Sub Separate_Strings()

    Dim Full_Name As String, Comma_Position As Integer, i As Integer

    For i = 2 To 7 'You can modify it as per your requirement.
        Full_Name = Cells(i, 1).Value
        Comma_Position = InStr(Full_Name, ",")
    
    Cells(i, 2).Value = Mid(Full_Name, Comma_Position + 2)
    Cells(i, 3).Value = Left(Full_Name, Comma_Position - 1)
    
    Next i

End Sub

6. To test the program, Add six names separated by a comma and space to Range("A2:A7") as shown in the above screenshot.
   
7. Test the program.

Result:

 

InputBox function in Excel VBA Code

InputBox Function

You can use the InputBox function in Excel VBA to prompt the user to enter a value. Place a command button on your worksheet and add the following code lines:

1. First, declare the variable myValue of type Variant.

Dim myValue As Variant

Note: we use a variable of type Variant here because a Variant variable can hold any type of value. This way the user can enter text, numbers, etc.

2. Add the following code line to show the input box.

myValue = InputBox("Give me some input")

3. Write the value of myValue to cell A1.

Range("A1").Value = myValue

Result when the user enters the value 5 and clicks the OK button.

4. The InputBox function has more optional arguments. The following code line shows an input box with a title displayed in the title bar and has a default value. The default value will be used if no other input is provided.

myValue = InputBox("Give me some input", "Hi", 1)

 

Result when the user only clicks the OK button.

Note: Place your cursor on InputBox in the Visual Basic Editor and click F1 for help on the other optional arguments.

VBA Code for excel to send multiple emails using Outlook

In this tutorial we will explain you, how you can send the multiple e-mails from Microsoft Excel using Outlook. The best part of this code is, each recipient will receive the email individually. Before proceeding further there are some prerequisite:

You need to make the excel sheet format as defined below:

1. Place the list of e-mail addresses under column "A"
2. Place the e-mail subject line in cell "B1"
3. Place the e-mail body message in cell "B2" and then,
4. Use the following VBA code to send the email to each individual email address using MS outlook.

Note: This code will send the e-mail to each e-mail address listed in the Column "A" starting at row 2 down to the last row.

At the moment this code is set to display before sending. If you don't want to see or review each e-mail before sending then, you can disable or comment the display line and enable or un-comment the Send line.

Code:

Dim i As Integer, Mail_Object, Email_Subject, o As Variant, lr As Long
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set Mail_Object = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
For i = 2 To lr
       With Mail_Object.CreateItem(o)
           .Subject = Range("B1").Value
           .To = Range("A" & i).Value
           .Body = Range("B2").Value
           '.Send
           .display 'disable display and enable send to send automatically
    End With
Next i
       MsgBox "E-mail successfully sent", 64
       Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set Mail_Object = Nothing
End Sub

VBA Code to show MsgBox in MS Excel

In this tutorial we are going to explain you how you show the MsgBox in Microsoft Excel using the VBA Code. The MsgBox is a dialog box in Excel VBA, you can use To inform the users of your program. Place a command button On your worksheet and add the following code lines: 

1. Code To show a simple message in the MsgBox:

    MsgBox "This Is fun"

Result when you click the command button On the sheet: 


2. Code To show a little more advanced message. First, enter a number into cell A1 And Then run the below code:

    MsgBox "Entered value Is " & Range("A1").Value

Result when you click the command button On the sheet:







Note: we used the & operator To concatenate (join) two strings. Although Range("A1").value Is Not a string, it works here.


3. To start a new line in a message, use vbNewLine.

    MsgBox "Line 1" & vbNewLine & "Line 2"

Result when you click the command button On the sheet:
