Vbcrlf in vba excel

To facilitate the reading of a messages by users or readers – especially long messages – it is necessary to format it conveniently through new lines, alignment, new paragraphs, etc. For a specialized word processing software like MS Word, this is easy. For example, to go to a next line, you just have to press the ENTER key.

In this article, you will learn how to use the Vbcrlf in VBA. 

What is Vbcrlf?

Vbcrlf stands for “Visual Basic Carriage Return Line Feed.” It is a VBA constant for the carriage return and line feed characters.

via GIPHY

To better understand Vbcrlf, you need to recall the days of old manual typewriters – if you’re old enough to remember – to get the origins of this. There are two distinct actions needed to start a new line of text:

  1. Move the typing head back to the left. On a typewriter, this is done by moving the roll which carries the paper (the “carriage”) back to the right. This is a carriage return.
  2. Move the paper up by the width of one line. This is a line feed.

Vbcrlf is a combination of the two actions explained above: the Carriage Return (VbCr) that moves the cursor back to the beginning of the line and the Line feed (VbLf) that moves the cursor position down one line. In other words, vbCrLf is to VBA what the ENTER key is to a word processor.

Example

Launch MS Excel, open the VBA editor and write the following code:

Sub TestVbcrlf()
MsgBox "Hello, This is an example to show how to format a message in VBA. Hope it will be helpful"
End Sub

After running the code, you will get the following result:

Unformatted message box using vbcrlf

As you can see, the message only goes to the next line when the number of characters of the first line is reached.

When the sentences are too long and poorly presented like the one above, readers are usually not motivated to read them. To solve that, the message can be presented in many lines by inserting Vbcrlf at the beginning of each new line as below:

Sub TestVbcrlf()
MsgBox "Hello." & Vbcrlf & "This is an example to show how to format a message in VBA." & Vbcrlf & "Hope it will be helpful."
End Sub

The trick is to insert the line breaker & Vbcrlf & at the beginning of the text. Don’t forget to put each sentence or text in double inverted commas: "".

After running the code, you will have the following message with three easily readable lines.

Properly formmated messagebox using vbcrlf

Note: if you want to insert an empty line between two sentences, you should add a second line breaker to the first one as in the following example:

Sub TestVbcrlf()
MsgBox "Hello.” & Vbcrlf & Vbcrlf & "This is an example to show how to format a message in VBA." & Vbcrlf & Vbcrlf & "Hope it will be helpful."
End Sub

There are many other constants that can be used in VBA to obtain the same result as with Vbcrlf.

They are:

  • VbNewLine
  • Chr(10)
  • Chr(13)
  • vbCr
  • vbLf

Replace Vbcrlf by any of them in the above code examples to see the result.

This article was about the use of the Visual Basic Carriage Return Line Feed (Vbcrlf) in the proper presentation of a message. Hope it has been useful for you.

Return to VBA Code Examples

When working with strings in VBA, use vbNewLine, vbCrLf or vbCR to insert a line break / new paragraph.

This article will also discuss how to use use the line continuation character in order to continue a statement in your actual VBA code on a new line.

Using vbNewLine

The following code shows you how you would use vbNewLine in order to put the second text string on a new line in the Immediate window:

Sub UsingvbNewLine()

Dim StringOne As String
Dim StringTwo As String

StringOne = "This is String One"
StringTwo = "This is String Two"

Debug.Print StringOne & vbNewLine & StringTwo

End Sub

The result is:

Using vbNewLine in VBA to add new lines

Using vbCrLf

The following code shows you how you would use vbCrLf in order to put the second text string on a new line in a shape:

Sub UsingvbCrLf()

Dim StringOne As String
Dim StringTwo As String

StringOne = "This is String One"
StringTwo = "This is String Two"

ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 15, 15, 100, 50).Select

With Selection
.Characters.Text = StringOne & vbCrLf & StringTwo
End With

End Sub

The result is:

Using vbCrLF to add new lines in VBA

Using vbCR

The following code shows you how you would use vbCR in order to put the second text string on a new line in a message box:

Sub UsingvbCR()

Dim StringOne As String
Dim StringTwo As String

StringOne = "This is String One"
StringTwo = "This is String Two"

MsgBox StringOne & vbCr & StringTwo

End Sub

The result is:

Using vbCR to insert a new line in VBA

Continuing a Statement in VBA

You can use the line continuation character (“_” aka the underscore) to continue a statement from one line to the next in your VBA code. The following code shows you how to use the line continuation character:

Sub LineContinuation ()

If Range("b1").Value > 0 Then _
   Range("c1").Value = "Greater Than Zero"
End Sub

Home / VBA / How to Add a New Line (Carriage Return) in a String in VBA

In VBA, there are three different (constants) to add a line break.

  1. vbNewLine
  2. vbCrLf
  3. vbLf

vbNewLine

vbNewLine inserts a newline character that enters a new line. In the below line of code, you have two strings combined by using it.

Range("A1") = "Line1" & vbNewLine & "Line2"

When you run this macro, it returns the string in two lines.

It returns the character 13 and 10 (Chr(13) + Chr(10)). You can use a code in the following way as well to get the same result.

Range("A1") = "Line1" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Line2"

But when you use vbNewLine you don’t need to use CHAR function.

vbCrLf

vbCrLf constant stands for Carriage Return and Line feed, which means Cr moves the cursor to the starting of the line, and Lf moves the cursor down to the next line.

When you use vbCrLf within two string or values, like, you have in the following code, it inserts a new line.

Range("A1") = "Line1" & vbCrLf & "Line2"

vbLf

vbLf constant stands for line feed character, and when you use it within two strings, it returns line feed character that adds a new line for the second string.

Range("A1") = "Line1" & vbLf & "Line2"

If you want to add a new line while using the VBA MsgBox you can use any of the above three constants that we have discussed.

MsgBox "Line1" & vbNewLine & "Line2"
MsgBox "Line1" & vbCrLf & "Line2"
MsgBox "Line1" & vbLf & "Line2"

There’s also a constant vbCr that returns carriage return character that you can use to insert a new line in a message box.

MsgBox "Line1" & vbCr & "Line2"

vbCr won’t work if you want to enter a cell value until you apply wrap text to it.

In this post, you’ll learn about the usage of vbNewLine, vbCrLf or vbCR to insert line break in your Excel spreadsheet using Excel VBA.

vbNewLine in Excel VBA

Below is a code snippet demonstrating how you can use vbNewLine to insert new line after the first string.

Sub InsertNewLinevbNewLine()

Dim str1 As String
Dim str2 As String

str1 = "String 1"
str2 = "String 2"

Debug.Print str1 & vbNewLine & str2

End Sub

vbCrLf in Excel VBA

The below code snippet show how you can insert new line using vbCrLf using Excel VBA.

Sub InsertNewLinevbCrLf()

Dim str1 As String
Dim str2 As String

str1 = "String 1"
str2 = "String 2"

Debug.Print str1 & vbCrLf & str2

End Sub

The below code snippet demonstrates how you can use vbCR to insert new line using Excel VBA.

Sub InsertNewLinevbCr()

Dim str1 As String
Dim str2 As String

str1 = "String 1"
str2 = "String 2"

Debug.Print str1 & vbCr & str2

End Sub
New Line or Carriage Return in Excel VBA

Перенос части кода одного выражения VBA Excel на другую строку. Объединение нескольких операторов в одной строке. Программный перенос текста на новую строку.

Обратите внимание, что в этой статье слова «оператор» и «выражение» употребляются в одном значении. Они обозначают минимальный исполняющийся код VBA, расположенный в одной строке.

‘Каждая строка — один

‘оператор/выражение

Dim a As Long, b As Long

a = 12

b = a + 25

Перенос части выражения на новую строку

Деление длинного оператора на части улучшит его читаемость, сделает код процедуры более наглядным и компактным, не позволит ему уходить за пределы видимого экрана справа.

Переносимые на новые строки части кода одного выражения разделяются символом нижнего подчеркивания (_), который ставится обязательно после пробела. Этот символ указывает компилятору VBA Excel, что ниже идет продолжение текущей строки.

MsgBox b

End Sub

‘Процедура с переносом

Sub Primer_1_2()

Dim a As Long, _

b As Long

b = a + 25 + 36 _

MsgBox b

End Sub

Вы можете скопировать код Примера 1 и проверить его работоспособность. В обоих случаях информационное окно MsgBox покажет одинаковый результат.

Иногда пишут, что для переноса кода добавляется пробел с символом подчеркивания. Так легче запомнить и не забыть, что перед знаком подчеркивания обязательно должен быть пробел. Но на самом деле, как видите из примера выше, пробелы уже есть в исходном коде, и мы добавили только символы подчеркивания.

Объединение операторов в одной строке

Множество коротких выражений в коде VBA Excel можно объединить в одной строке. Для этого используется символ двоеточия с пробелом «: », который указывает компилятору, что за ним идет следующий оператор.

Пример 2
Процедуры без объединения и с объединением операторов:

‘Процедура без объединения

Sub Primer_2_1()

Dim a As Long, b As Long, c As Long

c = a * b

MsgBox c

End Sub

‘Процедура с объединением

‘операторов

Sub Primer_2_2()

Dim a As Long, b As Long, c As Long

a = 12: b = a + 25: c = a * b: MsgBox c

End Sub

Во втором примере, как и в первом, информационное окно MsgBox покажет одинаковый результат.

Программный перенос текста на другую строку

Для программного переноса произвольного текста на новую строку в VBA Excel используются следующие ключевые слова:

  • vbCr – возврат каретки;
  • vbLf – перевод строки;
  • vbCrLf – возврат каретки и перевод строки, аналог нажатия клавиши «Enter»;
  • vbNewLine – новая строка.

Выражения «возврат каретки» и «перевод строки» идут от механических пишущих машин (печатных машинок).

Пример 3
Проверяем работоспособность перечисленных выше ключевых слов по программному переносу текста на новые строки в ячейке и информационном окне MsgBox:

Sub Primer_3()

‘Перенос текста в ячейке

Range(«B2») = «Первая строка + vbCr» & vbCr & _

«Вторая строка + vbLf» & vbLf & _

«Третья строка + vbCrLf» & vbCrLf & _

«Четвертая строка + vbNewLine» & vbNewLine & _

«Пятая строка»

‘Перенос текста в информационном окне

MsgBox «Первая строка + vbCr» & vbCr & _

«Вторая строка + vbLf» & vbLf & _

«Третья строка + vbCrLf» & vbCrLf & _

«Четвертая строка + vbNewLine» & vbNewLine & _

«Пятая строка»

End Sub

Получился следующий результат:

Результаты программного переноса текста на новую строку в ячейке и информационном окне MsgBox

Результат четырех переносов текста на новую строку

Как видно на изображении, ключевое слово «vbCr» не сработало в ячейке для переноса текста на другую строку, хотя сработало в информационном окне MsgBox.

Ключевые слова «vbCr» и «vbLf» я использовал исключительно для ознакомления, а на практике следует применять для переноса текста на новую строку – «vbCrLf» и «vbNewLine».

New Line in VBA MsgBox

Aligning the sentence is very important to convey the right message to the users or readers. To make the sentence proper, we use “new paragraph” or newline as one of the techniques. It usually happens in Word documents. If you have this question, then this article eases your worry. Follow this article completely to learn about the new line in VBA.

In Excel, when we want to insert a new line character, we either press Ctrl + Enter to insert a new line break or use the CHR function with 10. In VBA programming, using newline breakers to frame sentences is almost inevitable. But the question is, how can we insert a new VBA line breaker?

How to Insert New Line in VBA MsgBox?

We have seen people using several ways to insert newlines in VBA. So, in this article, we have decided to show you each of them in detail.

Before we show you how to insert a new line in VBA, let us show you why you need to insert lines in VBA. For example, look at the below image.

insert new line 1

We have framed the sentence in the message without inserting any new lines in the VBA codesVBA code refers to a set of instructions written by the user in the Visual Basic Applications programming language on a Visual Basic Editor (VBE) to perform a specific task.read more. Now, look at the below image.

insert new line 2

Suppose you look at the above two images, which one looks neat and clean. Both convey the same message but having a look at both the images. You decide which is better for you and continue reading to learn the second image.

Example #1 – Insert New Line in VBA MsgBox Using “vbNewLine.”

To insert the new line in VBA, we can use the VBA ConstantUsing the VBA “Const” word we can declare constants just like how we declare variables using the “Dim” keyword. After declaring a constant, it cannot be modified later.read more vbNewLine.”

As the name says, it will insert a new line between sentences or characters. For example, look at the below code.

Code:

Sub Type_Example1()

  MsgBox "Hi Welcome to VBA Forum!!!. We will show you how to insert new line in this article"

End Sub

In the above code, we have two sentences. The first one is “Hi, Welcome to VBA Forum!” And the second one is, “We will show you how to insert a new line in this article.”

The above shows these sentences in a single line, only like the below image.

VBA New Line 1

When the sentences are too large, it often creates ambiguity in the readers’ minds, or it doesn’t look pleasant. As a result, readers do not want to read at all.

To avoid all these things, we can show the message in two lines instead of the default line after the first line sentence closes the double quotes and puts the ampersand (&) symbol.

Code:

Sub Type_Example1()

  MsgBox "Hi Welcome to VBA Forum!!!."&

End Sub

VBA New Line Example 1

After the ampersand (&) symbol, press the spacebar and get the VBA constant “vbNewLine.”

Code:

Sub Type_Example1()

  MsgBox "Hi Welcome to VBA Forum!!!." & vbNewLine

End Sub

VBA New Line Example 1-1

After the constant “vbNewLine,” press one more time space bar and add the ampersand (&) symbol.

Code:

Sub Type_Example1()

  MsgBox "Hi Welcome to VBA Forum!!!." & vbNewLine &

End Sub

VBA New Line Example 1-2

After the second ampersand (&) symbol, type one more space character, and add the next line sentence in double quotes.

Code:

Sub Type_Example1()

  MsgBox "Hi Welcome to VBA Forum!!!." & vbNewLine & "We will show you how to insert new line in this article"

End Sub

Example 1-3

We have done it. Run the code to see the two sentences in two lines.

Example 1-4

If you are unhappy with the single line breaker, insert one more line breaker by entering one more new line inserter in VBA MsgboxVBA MsgBox function is an output function which displays the generalized message provided by the developer. This statement has no arguments and the personalized messages in this function are written under the double quotes while for the values the variable reference is provided.read more using “vbNewLine.”

Code:

Sub Type_Example1()

MsgBox "Hi Welcome to VBA Forum!!!." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "We will show you how to insert new line in this article"

End Sub

Example 1-5

Above bold and underlined words will insert two line breakers between sentences, and the result is as below.

Example 1-6

Example #2 – Insert New Line Using “Char (10)”

To a new line instead of “vbNewLine,” we can also use the function CHR to insert a new line in VBAVBA CHR is an inbuilt text/string function that returns the printable and non-printable characters present on the keyboard and understands the computer assigned with specific ASCII codes.read more. For example, CHR (10) is the code to insert a new line in VBA. Below is an example of the same.

Code:

Sub Type_Example1()

MsgBox "Hi Wecome to VBA Forum!!!." & Chr(10) & Char(10) & "We will show you how to insert new line in this article"

End Sub

Example #3 – Insert New Line Using “vbCrLf, vbCr, vbLf”

We can also use the constants “vbCrLf, vbCr, vbLf” to insert the new line breaker. Below are examples of the same.

Code:

Sub Type_Example1()

MsgBox "Hi Welcome to VBA Forum!!!" & vbLf & vbLf & "We will show you how to insert new line in this article"

End Sub

Code:

Sub Type_Example1()

MsgBox "Hi Welcome to VBA Forum!!!" & vbCr & vbCr & "We will show you how to insert new line in this article"

End Sub

Code:

Sub Type_Example1()

MsgBox "Hi Welcome to VBA Forum!!!" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "We will show you how to insert new line in this article"

End Sub
