If Isdate not really an IF statement?

[bobkap]

This line of code (below) is NOT working as a normal IF statement. If I include the "End If" line I get an error message. I also get an error if I try to use a line starting with "else". I need the functionality of a regular IF statement so I can apply code for those situations where my cell does not include a date.

Any suggestions, explanations or ideas would be most appreciated.

"If IsDate(Cells(bkrow, 1)) Then ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add Before:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)"

Try this...

If IsDate(Cells(bkrow, 1)) Then
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add Before:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)
End If

THANKS!! I keep learning VBA. I would have never thought that moving the part after "then" would make this work.

Again, thanks very much.

There are two forms of If statement.

The one liner, which does not have an End If (the Else clause is optional, but must be on the same line if present):

If something Then step_1 Else step_2

Or the multi-line block as Matt showed, which does require an End If:

If something Then
 step_1
Else 
step_2
End If

Thanks for the additional clarification. That would have helped me when I was just started out.

In addition when you start getting into nested IF THEN Clauses indention becomes important. So you may want to start practicing....here is an example:


See How all of the statements line up....

Sub Test()
    If Range("A1") = "Yes" Then
        If Range("B1") = "No" Then
            If Range("C1") = "Another Example" Then
                'Do Something.....
            End If
        End If
    Else
        If Range("D1") = "Something" Then
            'Do Something....
        Else
            'Do Something Different
        End If
    End If
End Sub
