Mastering the ‘Resume’ Command in Excel VBA

The ‘Resume’ command in Excel VBA is a powerful tool for error handling and debugging. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the basics, usage, and examples of the ‘Resume’ command to help you better manage your VBA projects.

What is the ‘Resume’ Command?

The ‘Resume’ command in VBA is used to control the flow of error handling. When an error occurs, you can use ‘Resume’ to specify what should happen next. This command helps you to keep your code running smoothly by determining how to proceed after an error has been encountered.

How to Use the ‘Resume’ Command

There are three main ways to use the ‘Resume’ command in VBA:

Resume: This command will continue execution from the line where the error occurred.
Resume Next: This command will continue execution from the line immediately following the line that caused the error.
Resume [line]: This command will continue execution from a specific line label or line number.

Resume Command Syntax

Here is the basic syntax for the ‘Resume’ command:

    On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

    ' Your code here

    Exit Sub

  ErrorHandler:
    ' Error handling code here
    Resume ' or Resume Next or Resume [line]

Examples of Using the ‘Resume’ Command

Let’s look at a practical example of using the ‘Resume’ command in a VBA procedure:

Example 1: Using Resume

This example demonstrates how to use ‘Resume’ to retry the failing line of code:

    Sub ExampleResume()
        On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
        
        Dim x As Integer
        x = 1 / 0  ' This will cause a division by zero error
        
        Exit Sub
        
    ErrorHandler:
        MsgBox "An error occurred."
        Resume
    End Sub

Example 2: Using Resume Next

This example shows how to use ‘Resume Next’ to continue with the next line of code after an error:

    Sub ExampleResumeNext()
        On Error Resume Next
        
        Dim x As Integer
        x = 1 / 0  ' This will cause a division by zero error
        
        MsgBox "Code continues even after an error."
    End Sub

Conclusion

Understanding and using the ‘Resume’ command in Excel VBA can greatly enhance your error handling capabilities. Whether you need to retry a line of code, skip over an error, or jump to a specific line, ‘Resume’ gives you the flexibility to manage errors effectively.
