Solved: VBA code launching problem

[suddenflash]

Hi!

Earilier times I used to do some programming in basic and in pascal. Now time has passed and it is needed to write a little program.

Examining my knowledg and consulting with vba literature I wrote a test program but someway it doesnt launch, No error massages no sign of launched program on my excel sheet.

I have allowed all macroses to be used in excel. But I am out of knowledge to act on. This is just 1 purposeless progrem about to write numbers from 1 to 100 by dioganal on screen

Sub mingiasi()
Dim i As Integer
i = 0
Do While i = 100
i = i + 1

Range(i, i).Value = i
Loop
End Sub

I would preciate help and would be very greatful!

Hi. Try this way.

Sub mingiasi()
Dim i As Integer
i = 0
Do While i < 100
i = i + 1
Cells(i, i).Value = i
Loop
End Sub

Welcome to the forum. Couple of suggestions


'good idea to include since it forces all variable to be declared
Option Explicit
Sub mingiasi()

'VBA uses Long now
Dim i As Long

'speeds macro by avoiding screen updating
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'nothing wrong with a Do, but For/Next is useful also
For i = 1 To 100
'This will always refer to the active sheet
' which you might not want
' Cells(i, i).Value = i
'This will refer to Sheet1, regardless of which sheet is active
Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, i).Value = i

Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
