beginner question
 

I'm a programmer, and I've got an excel problem to solve.

To simplify, Imagine I have a sheet as follows

A B C D E
1 car house tree
2 horse table dog
3 bike bat window
4
5

The solution requires me to read every row and then process it

e.g in pseudocode

READ FIRST ROW (car, house, tree)
DO UNTIL END OF SHEET
CALL PROCEDURE (passing the 3 column values as parameters)
READ ROW
LOOP


What I need is some sample code to replace the pseudocode.

Apologies for the beginner question, and any answer is much
appreciated.

One way:

Sub test()
Dim eRow As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim str1 As String
Dim str2 As String
Dim str3 As String
eRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row 'finds last used row
For i = 1 To eRow
str1 = Cells(i, 1).Value
str2 = Cells(i, 2).Value
str3 = Cells(i, 3).Value
Call Other(str1, str2, str3)
Next i
End Sub

Sub Other(val1 As String, val2 As String, val3 As String)
MsgBox "Values a " & val1 & ", " & val2 & ", " & val3
End Sub

Hope this helps
