VBA provides implicit conversion for a large number of data types Integer to Long Dim myInteger As Integer Dim myLong As Long myInteger = 10 myLong = myInteger Debug.Print myLong // 10 Integer to Boolean All n
A Data Type refers to how the data is stored in memory and how many bytes that data needs.The data type of a variable (or object) tells the compiler the size of the object.You should always try and use the data type that uses the smallest number of bytes.All variables must have an...
The output in the Immediate window will be a random number between 1 and 100. Conclusion: The Integer data type in VBA is useful for storing whole numbers that do not require decimal places. It takes up less memory compared to other data types and has a fixed range of -32,768 to 32,...
