#1: Convert String to Byte

VBA code to convert String to Byte

To convert a string to a number of the Byte data type, use the following statement:

CByte(String)

Process followed by VBA to convert String to Byte

To convert a string to a number of the Byte data type, use the CByte function to convert the String to a number of the Byte data type.

VBA statement explanation

1. Item: CByte.
   • VBA construct: CByte function.
   • Description: The CByte function coerces String to the Byte data type.

     CByte is usually able to carry out internationally-aware conversions from the String to the Byte data type. In other words, CByte generally recognizes between the different decimal/thousand separators and currency options that depend on your computer’s locale.

     The Byte data type can hold numbers ranging from 0 to 255. If String is outside this range, an error occurs.

2. Item: String.
   • VBA construct: String expression and expression argument of the CByte function.
   • Description: String is the string or numeric expression you convert to the Byte data type. If you explicitly declare a variable to represent String, use the Variant data type.

Macro example to convert String to Byte

The following macro example, a User-Defined Function, converts a string passed as argument (myString) to Byte.

Function stringToByte(myString As Variant)
    'source: https://powerspreadsheets.com/
    'converts String to Byte
    'for further information: https://powerspreadsheets.com/vba-string-to-number/

    'convert String to Byte
    stringToByte = CByte(myString)

End Function

Effects of executing macro example to convert String to Byte

The following image illustrates the results of using the macro example in a worksheet formula. For these purposes:

• Column A contains a numeric string.
• Column B contains a worksheet formula that uses the UDF example.

  When String is outside the range of Byte, the worksheet formula returns the #VALUE! error.

• Column C displays the worksheet formula used in column B.

#2: Convert String to Integer

VBA code to convert String to Integer

To convert a string to a number of the Integer data type, use the following statement:

CInt(String)

Process followed by VBA to convert String to Integer

To convert a string to a number of the Integer data type, use the CInt function to convert the String to a number of the Integer data type.

VBA statement explanation

1. Item: CInt.
   • VBA construct: CInt function.
   • Description: The CInt function coerces String to the Integer data type.

     If String contains a fraction, CInt rounds it. If this fraction is precisely 0.5, CInt rounds to the nearest even number. For example:

     • 0.5 is rounded to 0.
     • Both 1.5 and 2.5 are rounded to 2.
     • Both 3.5 and 4.5 are rounded to 4.
   • CInt is usually able to carry out internationally-aware conversions from the String to the Integer data type. In other words, CInt generally recognizes between the different decimal/thousand separators and currency options that depend on your computer’s locale.

     The Integer data type can hold numbers ranging from -32,768 to 32,767. If String is outside this range, an error occurs.

2. Item: String.

#7: Convert String to Decimal

VBA code to convert String to Decimal

To convert a string to a number of the Decimal data type, use the following statement:

CDec(String)

Process followed by VBA to convert String to Decimal

To convert a string to a number of the Decimal data type, use the CDec function to convert the String to a number of the Decimal data type.

VBA statement explanation

1. Item: CDec.
   • VBA construct: CDec function.
   • Description: From a broad perspective, the CDec function coerces String to the Decimal data subtype of the Variant data type. In other words, CDec doesn’t return a discrete data type, but rather a Variant converted to the Decimal subtype.

     CDec is usually able to carry out internationally-aware conversions from the String to the Decimal data type. In other words, CDec generally recognizes between the different decimal/thousand separators and currency options that depend on your computer’s locale.

     The Decimal data type holds integers scaled by a variable power of 10. This power of 10 specifies the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. Therefore, the value ranges Decimal can hold are as follows:

     • When working with a scale of 0, which results in no decimal places: -79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,335 to 79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,335.
     • When working with 28 decimal places:
       • The largest and smallest values are +7.9228162514264337593543950335 and -7.9228162514264337593543950335.
       • The smallest non-zero values are -0.0000000000000000000000000001 and 0.0000000000000000000000000001.

     If String is outside the required range, an error occurs.

2. Item: String.
   • VBA construct: String expression and expression argument of the CDec function.
   • Description: String is the string or numeric expression you convert to the CDec data type. If you explicitly declare a variable to represent String, use the Variant data type.
