Excel VBA Step into
 

Hi

I have a large macro with 100's of lines of code, sometimes I need to run
half of the code. I stepin the macro then have to drag the yellow arrow
100's of lines down, Is the a way to start the code somewhere in the middle
without draging the arrow down all those lines. I've looked in Help &
Googled, Is there a way?

Thanks in advance

divide the code into 2 parts/macros

cut the lower/2nd part into another macro, name it "part2" for
instance

in the 1st macro instead of the code that had been cut put:

Call part2

this will keep your 1st macro unchanged


and use the "part2" macro when needed

Just a few thoughts...

Excel macros are sequential code. They have to execute in the sequence you
have set forth.

When I need to do what you are wanting to do, I single click the left pane
on the line of code just before the code line I want to step into. This
should put a maroon circle on the left side pane and highlight that line of
code in maroon as well. This sets a stop point for your macro. You can
launch the macro and it will stop at this point and wait for you to give it
further instructions (ie - continue to step through the remainder of your
code with "F8", or something like that).

That's how I do it too. You can also scroll down to the line you want
(while in break mode), right click, and choose Run to Cursor.

You can also add a Stop statement in there, it will then wait for you, or
even add a conditional Debug.Assert, so many ways.
