[Excel VBA] If with multiple conditions

Hmm, I don't think I've asked this before. I want to do an if or select statement where I'm checking if a state is one of maybe ten different states. I'm no expert programmer, but I know in Python, you can do "in", so I'm wondering if there's a way to do something like that. For example

Code:

---

If state in {"Arkansas", "California", "Maine", "New Jersey", "Wyoming"} then do something

---

as opposed to the much harder to write and read, especially if you have 10 or 15 states

Code:

---

If (state = "Arkansas" or state = "California" or state = "Maine" or state = "New Jersey" or state = "Wyoming") then do something

---

Thanks

use select case

Code:

---

Select Case State
    Case "Arkansas", "California" '..... u can add more
        'do something
End Select

---

Okay, thanks. I have used that before but I forgot. I think my problem is I want to work with two variables in reality, state and a range of dates. In that case, all I know about is doing Select Case True, or something like that. Then my cases involve having Date <= #3/3/2011# and Date >= #3/1/2011# and State one of 5 or 10 or whatever. Is there any way in that case?

Thanks for your help

this may help u

Code:

---

Dim State As String, Dt As Date, MyCheck1 As Boolean, MyCheck2 As Boolean
State = "Some2"
Dt = Date 'today
MyCheck1 = Dt <= #9/3/2011# And Dt >= #9/1/2011#
MyCheck2 = State = "Some1" Or State = "Some2" Or State = "Some3"
Select Case MyCheck1 And MyCheck2
    Case True And True
        'do something
End Select
