So this is a simplified version of a problem I am having in a much larger VBA macro.

Essentially I need to perform the following worksheet calculations in VBA:

=STDEV.S(IF(A1:A100 = "a",B1:B100))
=STDEV.S(IF((A1:A100 = "a")+(A1:A100 = "c")+(A1:A100 = "e")+(A1:A100 = "h")+(A1:A100 = "i"),B1:B100))
=STDEV.S(IF((A1:A100 = "a")*(B1:B100>12),B1:B100))
=STDEV.S(IF((A1:A100 = "a")*(B1:B100>12)+(A1:A100 = "c")*(B1:B100>12)+(A1:A100 = "e")*(B1:B100>12)+(A1:A100 = "h")*(B1:B100>12)+(A1:A100 = "i")*(B1:B100>12),B1:B100))

The first issue I had is that there isn't a worksheet function for an IF statement so I reworked the calculations to the following:

=STDEV.S(FILTER(B1:B100, A1:A100 = "a"))
=STDEV.S(FILTER(B1:B100,(A1:A100="a")+(A1:A100="c")+(A1:A100="e")+(A1:A100="h")+(A1:A100="i")))
=STDEV.S(FILTER(B1:B100, (A1:A100 = "a")*(B1:B100>12)))
=STDEV.S(FILTER(B1:B100, (A1:A100 = "a")*(B1:B100>12)+(A1:A100 = "c")*(B1:B100>12)+(A1:A100 = "e")*(B1:B100>12)+(A1:A100 = "h")*(B1:B100>12)+(A1:A100 = "i")*(B1:B100>12)))

I was able to code the first calculation pretty simply:

VBA Code: 
Sub TestStDev()
    Dim sdNum1 As Double

    sdNum1 = Application.WorksheetFunction.StDev_S(Application.WorksheetFunction.Filter(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100"), Evaluate(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""a""")))
    
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("E1").Value = sdNum1
    
End Sub

But I am really struggling with the additional conditions. the EVALUATE statement seems to be what is really holding me up here. I have tried the following and much more, but everything gives me a 'Type Mismatch' error.

VBA Code: 
x1 = Evaluate(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""a""") + Evaluate(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""c""") + Evaluate(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""e""") + Evaluate(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""h""") + Evaluate(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""i""")
x2 = Evaluate(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""a""") & "+" & (ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""c""") & "+" & (ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""e""") & "+" & (ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""h""") & "+" & (ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""i""")

I feel like I am just getting hung up in the syntax of the EVALUATE statement, but I also know that I am not the most efficient at coding so maybe there is a simpler way too.

I solved this, it was a syntax issue. If you think you have enough quotes, you don't.


VBA Code: 
x2 = Evaluate("(" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""a"")  + (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""c"") + (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""e"") + (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""h"") + (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""i"")")

I think this is what works, but it is difficult to check on my phone. I will double check, post a complete solution, Nd mark this as solved when I get home.

Here is my full solution. some of the lines are super long, so if someone else has a more efficient/elegant solution I would love to hear it.

VBA Code: 
Sub TestStDev()
    Dim sdNum1 As Double
    Dim sdNum2 As Double
    Dim sdNum3 As Double
    Dim sdNum4 As Double

    sdNum1 = Application.WorksheetFunction.StDev_S(Application.WorksheetFunction.Filter(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100"), Evaluate(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""a""")))
    sdNum2 = Application.WorksheetFunction.StDev_S(Application.WorksheetFunction.Filter(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100"), Evaluate("(" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""a"") + (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""c"") + (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""e"") + (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""h"") + (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""i"")")))
    sdNum3 = Application.WorksheetFunction.StDev_S(Application.WorksheetFunction.Filter(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100"), Evaluate("(" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""a"") * (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100").Address & ">12)")))
    sdNum4 = Application.WorksheetFunction.StDev_S(Application.WorksheetFunction.Filter(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100"), Evaluate("(" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""a"") * (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100").Address & ">12) + (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""c"") * (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100").Address & ">12) + (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""e"") * (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100").Address & ">12) + (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""h"") * (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100").Address & ">12) + (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""i"") * (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100").Address & ">12)")))
    
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("E1").Value = sdNum1
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("E2").Value = sdNum2
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("E3").Value = sdNum3
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("E4").Value = sdNum4
    
End Sub

You can shorten the formula in D4 like
Excel Formula: 
=STDEV.S(FILTER(B1:B100, (ISNUMBER(XMATCH(A1:A100, {"a","c","e","h","i"})))*(B1:B100>12)))

You can also shorten the code like
VBA Code: 
Sub TestStDev()
    Dim sdNum1 As Double
    Dim sdNum2 As Double
    Dim sdNum3 As Double
    Dim sdNum4 As Double

   With ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:B100")
      sdNum1 = .Worksheet.Evaluate("StDev.S(filter(" & .Columns(2).Address & "," & .Columns(1).Address & "=""a""))")
      sdNum2 = .Worksheet.Evaluate("StDev.S(Filter(" & .Columns(2).Address & ",isnumber(xmatch(" & .Columns(1).Address & ",{""a"",""c"",""e"",""h"",""i""}))))")
'    sdNum3 = Application.WorksheetFunction.StDev_S(Application.WorksheetFunction.Filter(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100"), Evaluate("(" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""a"") * (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100").Address & ">12)")))
'    sdNum4 = Application.WorksheetFunction.StDev_S(Application.WorksheetFunction.Filter(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100"), Evaluate("(" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""a"") * (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100").Address & ">12) + (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""c"") * (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100").Address & ">12) + (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""e"") * (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100").Address & ">12) + (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""h"") * (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100").Address & ">12) + (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A100").Address & "=""i"") * (" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B100").Address & ">12)")))
   End With
   With ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
      .Range("E1").Value = sdNum1
      .Range("E2").Value = sdNum2
      .Range("E3").Value = sdNum3
      .Range("E4").Value = sdNum4
   End With
End Sub
