The If Statement

13/25
Session Links

The syntax of If is

If <test condition> Then
   <a sequence of statements>
Else
   <another sequence of statements>
End If

The "Else" and its sequence of statements are optional
You can chain them together to arbitrary length

If <test condition> Then
   <a sequence of statements>
ElseIf <another test condition> Then
   <another sequence of statements>
Else
   <yet another sequence of statements>
End If

Sometimes you need to "flip" the condition with "Not"

If Not <test condition> Then
   <a sequence of statements>
End If

You can write the whole thing on one line if the <sequences of statements> have only one item

If is a workhorse. Its basic form — sometimes called a "block" If — is at the top of this page. If there is only one statement in the Then clause or and Else clause, then you can also type it on a single line, but the block form is easier to read, I think. If you have a chain of tests you want to perform, the ElseIf construct of the second example is very convenient.

You do not need to use a continuation character to connect the lines of a block If. In fact, if you do, you'll get an error if you have more than one statement in either of the Then, Else, or ElseIf clauses.
