Watch Window to jump to cell?

[YellowLabPro]

When running through a loop can you put a break on a certain cell or tell it to run beginning at a certain cell to a certain cell?
I guess I could do this in my code by changing the start counter and end counter...
But thought maybe the Watch window has this capability? I can only find in the watch window to break on change...

Hey Doug,

Place the following code in a module:
[vba]Sub TestMe()
Dim rng As Excel.Range

For Each rng In Range("A1:A10").Cells
rng.Value = rng.Address(0, 0)
Next rng
End Sub[/vba] -Click View-->Watch Window
-Then Click Debug-->Add Watch... (or just right-click in a blank area of the watch window and click Add Watch...)
-In the Expression Textbox type in: rng.Address(0, 0) = "A4"
-Yes, that is meant to be rng and not Range (because I'm evaluating the variable rng that I created)
-Select the "Beak when value is True" radio button in the Watch Type frame
-Press OK and run the code. The code will halt when the loop has reached cel "A4".

Hope this helps!

An alternative is Debug.Assert.

In Excel 2000 and later, you can use Debug.Assert statements to cause the code to break if a condition is <b><u>not>/u></b> met. The syntax for Debug.Assert is:

<b>Debug.Assert (condition)</b>

where condition expression that returns True (-1) or False (0). If the condition evaluates to False or 0, VBA breaks on that line (see, below).

An example usage could be within a loop that has an exit within it to test whether the loop has completed successfully.

Using Malik's example

[vba]

Sub TestMe()
Dim rng As Excel.Range

For Each rng In Range("A1:A10").Cells
Debug.Assert rng.Address <> "$A$4"
rng.Value = rng.Address(0, 0)
Next rng
End Sub
[/vba]
