An if statement to run based on various amounts of criteria being greater than 0

I'm writing an if statement with 5 separate criteria based on whether they are greater than zero.



I want 6 separate if statements based on whether 0 criteria >0, 1 criteria > 0 , 2 etc... up to 5 criteria > 0. I was trying to do this with OR and AND statements, but it's obviously not the solution.



What I'm essentially after:



If 0 Criteria > 0 Then
Do this
ElseIf 1 Criteria > 0 Then
Do this
ElseIf 2 Criteria > 0 Then
Do this
....
ElseIf 5 Criteria > 0 Then
Do this
End If

    So you have 5 independent numeric variables and want a different action depending on how many are 0?

    The criteria, are they cells on a worksheet? Are those cells contiguous?

If criteria1 = 0 then CritNo = CritNo + 1
If criteria2 = 0 then CritNo = CritNo + 1
If criteria3 = 0 then CritNo = CritNo + 1

Select case CritNo

    Here's another idea:



    Select Case Abs(criteria1 > 0) + Abs(criteria2 > 0) + Abs(criteria3 > 0) + Abs(criteria4 > 0) + Abs(criteria5 > 0)
    Case 0
    MsgBox "0 criteria"
    Case 1
    MsgBox "1 criteria"
    Case 2
    MsgBox "2 criteria"
    Case 3
    MsgBox "3 criteria"
    Case 4
    MsgBox "4 criteria"
    Case 5
    MsgBox "5 criteria"
    End Select

    You could use evaluate on an array of the criteria with SUMPRODUCT



    Option Explicit
    Public Sub test()
    Dim criteria1 As Long, criteria2 As Long,criteria3 As Long
    Dim criteria4 As Long, criteria5 As Long, arr()
    Dim numGreaterThanZero As Long

    criteria1 = -1
    criteria2 = 3
    criteria3 = 0
    criteria4 = 5
    criteria5 = 6

    arr = Array(criteria1, criteria2, criteria3, criteria4, criteria5)

    numGreaterThanZero = Application.Evaluate("=SUMPRODUCT(--(" & Join$(arr, ";") & ">0))")

    Select Case numGreaterThanZero

    Case 1
    Case 2
    Case 3
    Case 4
    Case 5

    End Select
    End Sub



    If you actually just want to test the conditions separately (and not a cumulative count) and exit at first True then:



    Select Case True

    Criteria1 > 0
    'Do Something

    Criteria2> 0
    'Do something else

    End Select

            • Sorry I missed the then statements, silly mistake! Yes I literally thought after posting doing it top down might be the best way, so it will then bypass the next elseif statement. Thank you

            • Depends if you need to run all the tests or only need the up to the first that evaluates to True. Which is it?

            You could use evaluate on an array of the criteria with SUMPRODUCT



            Option Explicit
            Public Sub test()
            Dim criteria1 As Long, criteria2 As Long,criteria3 As Long
            Dim criteria4 As Long, criteria5 As Long, arr()
            Dim numGreaterThanZero As Long

            criteria1 = -1
            criteria2 = 3
            criteria3 = 0
            criteria4 = 5
            criteria5 = 6

            arr = Array(criteria1, criteria2, criteria3, criteria4, criteria5)

            numGreaterThanZero = Application.Evaluate("=SUMPRODUCT(--(" & Join$(arr, ";") & ">0))")

            Select Case numGreaterThanZero

            Case 1
            Case 2
            Case 3
            Case 4
            Case 5

            End Select
            End Sub



            If you actually just want to test the conditions separately (and not a cumulative count) and exit at first True then:



            Select Case True

            Criteria1 > 0
            'Do Something

            Criteria2> 0
            'Do something else

            End Select
