Day 6 - Excel Macro to Open External Files with IF Conditions

On this day 6 of the Reto40Excel, you will learn how to develop an Excel macro to open external files with VBA IF conditions. What I'm trying to explain is how to develop needs like this with VBA code by applying conditionals. In this case, the IF conditional statement in VBA in Excel.

For today's exercise, the Excel Macro to open external files, we will implement the use of three files, which we have named File1, File2, and File3, based on the text entered in a cell in the spreadsheet. The Excel Macro to open external files must be able to validate what was entered in a given cell and, if a condition is met, open the corresponding file. If the phrase File1 was entered, it must open File1. The same applies to the other files, all based on the text entered.

To develop the Excel Macro to open external files, two variables will be implemented: one variable is a String or text variable, and the other variable is an Excel.Workbook variable. Using these two variables, we will develop and execute the Macro in question. For the Excel Macro to open external files, we will also implement the Workbooks.Open element, and through this, we can execute the IF conditional statement to open files.

Below are the tools and functions used in today's material:

IF function in VBA
Variables in VBA
Assign data to variables in VBA
String in VBA
Excel.Workbook in VBA
Workbooks.Open in VBA
