Understanding the ‘Resume’ Command in Excel VBA

What is the ‘Resume’ Command in Excel VBA?

The ‘Resume’ command in Excel VBA is a crucial part of error-handling. It allows the program to continue execution after an error has been handled. This command can be used to specify where the code should resume execution once an error is encountered and dealt with.

How to Use the ‘Resume’ Command

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

• Resume: This resumes execution at the line that caused the error.
• Resume Next: This resumes execution at the line immediately following the line that caused the error.
• Resume [label]: This resumes execution at a specified line label within the procedure.

Basic Syntax

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

Resume
Resume Next
Resume [label]

Example of Using ‘Resume’ in VBA

Let’s look at a practical example to understand how the ‘Resume’ command works in VBA:

Sub ExampleResume()
    On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
    
    Dim x As Integer
    Dim y As Integer
    
    x = 10
    y = 0
    
    ' This will cause a division by zero error
    Debug.Print x / y
    
    Exit Sub
    
ErrorHandler:
    MsgBox "An error occurred: " & Err.Description
    Resume Next ' Resume execution at the next line
End Sub

In this example, a division by zero error is intentionally caused. The ‘Resume Next’ statement ensures that the program continues to the next line after the error has been handled.
