Step-by-Step Process to Create an Excel VBA Select Case And Operator Statement

(1) Enter the opening and closing statements of the Select Case statement:

Select Case.
End Select.

'Source: https://powerspreadsheets.com/
'More information: https://powerspreadsheets.com/vba-select-case-and/
Select Case '...
    '...
End Select

(2) Set the test expression VBA uses to identify the set of statements to execute to True.

'Source: https://powerspreadsheets.com/
'More information: https://powerspreadsheets.com/vba-select-case-and/
Select Case True
    '...
End Select

(3) Specify the case expressions used by VBA to identify the set of statements to execute. Each case expression is preceded by the Case keyword.

To create a VBA Select Case And operator statement, specify case expressions as logical expressions using the And operator.

Case Case1Expression1 And Case1Expression2 And … And Case1Expression#.
Case Case2Expression1 And Case2Expression2 And … And Case2Expression#.
…
Case Case#Expression1 And Case#Expression2 And … And Case#Expression#.

The And operator:

Carries out a logical conjunction of 2 expressions; and
Returns:
- True if both expressions return True.
- False if either:
  - Any expression returns False; or
  - Both expressions return False.

'Source: https://powerspreadsheets.com/
'More information: https://powerspreadsheets.com/vba-select-case-and/
Select Case True
    Case Case1Expression1 And Case1Expression2 And ... And Case1Expression#
        '...
    Case Case2Expression1 And Case2Expression2 And ... And Case2Expression#
        '...
    '...
    Case Case#Expression1 And Case#Expression2 And ... And Case#Expression#
        '...
    '...
End Select

(4) Specify the set of statements to execute when the applicable logical case expression (you specified in step #3 using the And operator) returns True.

CaseStatements1.
CaseStatements2.
…
CaseStatements#.

'Source: https://powerspreadsheets.com/
'More information: https://powerspreadsheets.com/vba-select-case-and/
Select Case True
    Case Case1Expression1 And Case1Expression2 And ... And Case1Expression#
        CaseStatements1
    Case Case2Expression1 And Case2Expression2 And ... And Case2Expression#
        CaseStatements2
    '...
    Case Case#Expression1 And Case#Expression2 And ... And Case#Expression#
        CaseStatements#
    '...
End Select

(5) Specify the set of statements to execute if no logical case expression (you specified in step #3 using the And operator) returns True. These catch-all statements:

Follow the Case Else keyword; and
Are optional.

'Source: https://powerspreadsheets.com/
'More information: https://powerspreadsheets.com/vba-select-case-and/
Select Case True
    Case Case1Expression1 And Case1Expression2 And ... And Case1Expression#
        CaseStatements1
    Case Case2Expression1 And Case2Expression2 And ... And Case2Expression#
        CaseStatements2
    '...
    Case Case#Expression1 And Case#Expression2 And ... And Case#Expression#
        CaseStatements#
    Case Else
        ElseStatements
End Select

How (and Why) the VBA Select Case And Operator Statement Works

The Select Case statement does the following:

Compare a test expression to several case expressions.
Determine how to proceed based on the case expression that matches the test expression.

The And operator is a logical operator. Logical operators return a Boolean value (True or False) when evaluated.

If you want to create an Excel VBA Select Case And operator statement:

The test expression; and
All case expressions;

Must return a Boolean value (True or False) when evaluated. This ensures that (both) the test expression and all case expressions are of the same data type.

Do the following to achieve this:

Set the test expression to the Boolean value True.
Specify the case expressions as logical expressions using the And operator.

When a case expression returns True, the Select Case statement:

Executes the set of statements associated to the applicable Case clause; and
Exits the Select Case statement.

Excel VBA Select Case And Operator Example Macro

The VBA Select Case And operator example macro (below) displays a message box. The message inside the message box varies, depending on:

The current month; and
The current day of the month.

I use a VBA Select Case And operator statement to specify the proper message.

Sub SelectCaseAndOperator()
    'Source: https://powerspreadsheets.com/
    'More information: https://powerspreadsheets.com/vba-select-case-and/
    
    'Declare variables to represent:
        'Message to be displayed in message box
        'Current month (as a number between 1 and 12)
        'Current day of the month
    Dim MyMsgBoxMessage As String
    Dim MyCurrentMonth As Integer
    Dim MyCurrentDay As Integer
     
    'Identify current month and day of the month
    MyCurrentMonth = Month(Date:=Date)
    MyCurrentDay = Day(Date:=Date)
     
    'Assign a string to the MyMsgBoxMessage variable, depending on:
        'The current month; and
        'The current day of the month
    Select Case True
        Case (MyCurrentMonth <= 6) And (MyCurrentDay <= 15)
            MyMsgBoxMessage = "It's the first half of a month in the first half of the year"
        Case (MyCurrentMonth <= 6) And (MyCurrentDay >= 16)
            MyMsgBoxMessage = "It's the second half of a month in the first half of the year"
        Case (MyCurrentMonth >= 7) And (MyCurrentDay <= 15)
            MyMsgBoxMessage = "It's the first half of a month in the second half of the year"
        Case (MyCurrentMonth >= 7) And (MyCurrentDay >= 16)
            MyMsgBoxMessage = "It's the second half of a month in the second half of the year"
    End Select
     
    'Display message box with string held by the MyMsgBoxMessage variable
    MsgBox MyMsgBoxMessage

End Sub

The VBA Select Case And operator statement inside the VBA Select Case And operator example macro specifies 4 case expressions as logical expressions using the And operator.

The 2 conditions I test inside each logical expression are as follows:

Whether the current month is in:
- The first half of the year (MyCurrentMonth <= 6); or
- The second half of the year (MyCurrentMonth >= 7).
Whether the current day of the month is in:
- The first half of the month (MyCurrentDay <= 15); or
- The second half of the month (MyCurrentDay >= 16).

The image below displays the message box shown by Excel when I execute the Excel VBA Select Case And operator example macro. I execute this example macro (and create this screenshot) in the first half of August.
